  A gripping memoir by a former NZSAS commander on serving in Afghanistan over four deployments and operating at the edge of his limits 
    
  'Frighteningly, devastatingly real.' - The Post  
  In 2011, following the Taliban siege on Kabul's Intercontinental Hotel, an SAS soldier identified only as Serviceman J was awarded New Zealand's second highest military honour by showing outstanding gallantry in the face of danger. After eighteen years in the New Zealand SAS, ex-commander Jamie Pennell is now ready to tell his story. 
  Having survived the famously tough SAS selection course and excelled during its brutal training, Jamie was sent on four deployments to Afghanistan and played a critical role in New Zealand's operations. From patrols across desert territories run by warlords to hostile fire and near-death combat, Serviceman J is a heart-stopping account of life inside one of the world's most elite military forces.

  This textbook updates the conversation about models of psychology and faith integration, helping students understand the range of options for Christian engagement. Drawing from themes developed in Paul Moes's well-received Exploring Psychology and Christian Faith (coauthored with Donald J. Tellinghuisen), Integrating Psychology and Faith develops a set of worldview dimensions that serve to organize a variety of psychology-faith integration models. 
   
  Paul Moes and Blake Riek set forth principles and themes and establish historical context to help students explore where different views fit on a continuum of approaches to integration and understand the perspectives of other Christians in the field of psychology. In this way, students come to better understand the organizing principles for various views about psychology that they encounter. The book also shows how theological traditions and positions shape views on natural science, social science, and psychology.

Most of these spirits have one thing in common—unfinished business from their lives that leaves them restless, unable to let go and move on.

Each story is accompanied by an exercise that will help the reader avoid the fate of a trapped, angry, or unprepared soul.Some reasons spirits haven't gone through the light include:They don't know they're dead.They are afraid of what could be waiting for them on the other side.They don't believe in an afterlife so they’re stuck in limbo.They are possessive over a person or object.They are terrified of change.How To Live a Happily Ever Afterlife is an eye-opening look at spirits—at what compels and holds them—and what you can do to avoid the same fate.

  Philippine-American War The: The...

  On April 27, 1898 six American ships of the line, led by the Olympia with Commodore George Dewey aboard, headed toward Manila Bay. After several days of sailing over the South China Sea, Dewey hoped to sail past the Spanish fort at Corregidor to arrive at Manila without detection, and sailed without lights in order to do so. He made it into the bay, where the naval battle with the Spanish South Pacific Squadron began in the wee hours of May 1, 1898. Dewey was a student of the Mahanian school of naval strategy, so called for the aggressive Alfred T. Mahan, a top naval strategist and President of the Naval War College. As such, he concentrated his efforts on the offensive, preferring to meet the Spanish fleet on his own terms and to avoid, if it all possible fire from land-based batteries that lined Manila Bay. He refused to engage the batteries on land, sailing straight past the firing batteries and toward the Spanish fleet. Dewey issued his most famous command just before 6:00 that morning, “You may fire when ready, Gridley!”  
  The leader of an 1896 insurgency against the Spanish, Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy, had left the Philippines in an agreement following Spanish promises of reform that never materialized. As a recognized Filipino leader, he was brought to Manila by an American ship within days of the American victory at Manila, but the events that followed were to prove controversial and lead to U.S. control of the Philippines, along with a revolution of the Filipino people that would prove to be far longer and more costly than the Spanish-American war itself. The Philippines had no meaningful connection to Cuba except as a Spanish colony, and Spanish forces in the islands were no threat to the U.S. Pacific coast, but the island chain appeared to offer a convenient location for a naval base in an age when warships were coal-powered and needed coaling bases.
