As the only woman homicide inspector in San Francisco, Lindsay Boxer has to be tough. But nothing she has seen prepares her for the horror of the honeymoon murders, when a brutal maniac begins viciously slaughtering newly wed couples on their wedding nights. Lindsay is sickened by the deaths, but her determination to bring the murderer to justice is threatened by her own personal tragedy. So she turns to Claire, a leading coroner, Cindy, a journalist and Jill, a top attorney, for help with both her crises, and the Women's Murder Club is born. <br><br> Autorid: James Patterson <br>

The King of pop culture poetry returns with his second collection! As the great Dominic Toretto once said, I dont have friends, I have family. 2Black2Furious largely looks at both what family can be: linked by blood, heritage, found and chosen. Tyrone Lewis intersects his exploration on race, and continues to ask the question what does it truly mean to be Black in a world weighted with perception. Theres also some Avril thrown in too, because you cant go wrong with some Avril. <br><br> Autorid: Tyrone Lewis <br>

The book of Chronicles has had a chequered past.Neglected for many years under the fortunate name of Paraleipomen or 'Things omitted', meant that they occupied a subordinate position in the Scriptures until the 4th century AD when the title 'A Chronicle of the whole Sacred History' was suggested instead. This has since been shortened to Chronicles and the rest is, literally history.Probably penned by Ezra, Chronicles is a selective history of the Jews encouraging them to trust that God is intimately involved in their story. Written at a time when the Jews were newly out of captivity and with their capital city in ruins, Chronicles assures them of God's faithfulness.If they would obey and serve him then his people would still enjoy his blessing.Cyril Barber has also written Focus on the Bible's commentary on 1 Chronicles.

The Chronicler addressed an Israel separated from its former days of blessing by a season of judgment. The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles bring a divine word of healing and reaffirm the hope of restoration. The Chronicler's theme is straightforward - the promises of God revealed in the Davidic covenant are as trustworthy and as effective as the God who first uttered them. <br><br> Autorid: Martin J Selman <br>

This book covers in such photographic detail the German usage of both the 20mm Flak 28 and the Flak 30, both of these weapons saw extensive action on all battle fronts of the Second World War wherever the German armed forces saw service. This new photo album is number 28 in the MMP Books/Stratus "Camera On" series. It is the first to cover in such photographic detail the German usage of both the 2 cm Flak 28 and the Flak 30. Both of these weapons saw extensive action on all battle fronts of the Second World War wherever the German armed forces saw service. While they were both excellent weapons at their time of development, they both rapidly became less effective as ever faster and higher flying aircraft were produced by Germany's enemies. This book contains 140+ photographs taken by the average German soldier of both the 2 cm Flak 28 and 30 as well as their crews while in service and many of the environments they had to operate within. This volume illustrates these weapons as the soldiers themselves viewed them in both their fighting environment and, in many cases, just as a tool they lived with and had to look after on a daily basis, not the highly polished and sanitized views of the official photographers. This book is an invaluable reference for military historians and modelers alike. <br><br> Autorid: Alan Ranger <br>

Scholarly insights with a pastoral heart for all the books of the New Testament. "Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!"Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher The apostle Paul's second letter to the Corinthians is Paul's most pastoral letter, Paul's most emotional letter, and a view into the factions and the fracturing relations with one of Paul's most memorable churches. In the letter, Paul appeals to unity and expresses joy over the good news he hears about Corinth's believers' reception of his care for them. In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight reveals the newness and activeness of God's Word as it works in our everyday lives. His unique approach to Bible study combines sound theology with relevant pastoral wisdom. Each volume of this series provides: Original Meaning: Brief, precise expositions of the biblical text and offers a clear focus for the central message of each passage. Fresh Interpretation: Brings the passage alive with fresh images and what it means to follow King Jesus. Practical Application: Biblical connections and questions for reflection and application for each passage. The NIV is used as the primary Bible text, but McKnight also includes insights from his own translation of the entire New Testament. Each Bible study features a short, compact, clear exposition that both summarizes the whole and gives the reader a clear focus for what is central to the passage. <br><br> Autorid: Scot McKnight <br>

These commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new New Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: Context, Comment and Theology. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.2 CORINTHIANSPaul's long, complicated history with the Corinthian church culminates in this ardent defence of Christian ministry in general and of his own ministry in particular. Colin G. Kruse provides an insightful analysis that illuminates Paul's contrast of the old and new covenants and his eloquent exposition of the ministry of reconciliation. He also charts a clear, plausible course through the maze of the literary history of Paul's correspondence with the Corinthian Christians. <br><br> Autorid: Colin G Kruse <br>

Alexander McCall Smith, best-selling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, has turned his hand to humour. The delightful result is a creation of comic genius. For in the unnaturally tall form of Professor Doctor Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, we are invited to meet a memorable character whose sublime insouciance is a blend of the cultivated pomposity of Frasier Crane and of Inspecteur Clouseau's hapless gaucherie. Von Igelfeld inhabits the rarefied world of the Institute of Romance Philology at Regensburg, a world he shares with his equally tall and equally ridiculous colleagues, Professors Florianus Prinzel and Detlev Amadeus Unterholzer. Their unlikely adventures are described in three deliciously funny instalments: Portuguese Irregular Verbs, The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs and At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances. <br><br> Autorid: Alexander McCall Smith <br>

Davis brings cultural and historical colour to the task of interpreting one of the most studied parts of the Bible. The lessons in 2 Samuel from the life of Israel, and David in particular, have obvious modern parallels. Davis writes with a pastors heart AND the incisive brain of a respected theologian specialising in the Old Testament texts. "Such sensitivity to the biblical theology of the text is a crucial correction to much of modern exposition...Reading the commentary is itself a devotional exercise." John W. Hilder in the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society on Davis' commentary writing skills. "Writers will say, Why can't I write like that? Scholars, Why am I not so well read? Expositors, Why didn't I see it all like that too? And readers will join in unanimous praise for a great feast of biblical truth made so digestible, garnished with so many apt illustrations and always focused on the God of all Grace. I have lost count of the number of titbits transferred to my notebooks for future use!" Alec Motyer "He combines the depth of understanding of a thorough-going Old Testament scholar with the breadth of insight of a biblical theologian and the perception of a preacher well used to addressing contemporary audiences to provide us with a commentary that brings the preaching potential of these books to life." Mark Johnston ... merits a five-star rating. This book is everything a commentary ought to be... preachers, Bible group leaders and belivers eager to understand 2 Samuel should sell their shirt to purchase this excellent commentary!H The Banner of Truth Magazine <br><br> Autorid: Dale Ralph Davis <br>

Where have we come from? Covering the 1st Century AD to the start of the Middle Ages, the first volume of 2000 Years of Christs Power, this period in history establishes the foundations of what we take for granted today. Every generation has an uncanny tendency to view themselves as more enlightened than those that have gone before. Looking at the early church, by being honest about their mistakes and drawing inspiration from their motivation, mission and momentum, Needham demonstrates that our ancestors offer valuable insights for us to glean from. Delve into the works of Saint Augustine of Hippo and witness the first apologetic ever penned. Featuring: The Jesus Movement Christianity through the era of the Apostles The Apostolic Fathers, persecution, and apologetics Gnostics, Catholics and Montanists African Christianity The fall of Rome and Constantinople Volume one of five. Academically reliable, the accessible humorous style and accompanying glossary means church history is a subject for everyone to benefit from. It is a brave historian who tackles the extremely challenging task of writing the 2000year history of the church. Nick Needham has more than risen to the challenge well worth the wait Michael A.G. Haykin, Professor of Church History, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Nick Needham's volumes on church history explain everything that someone new to the subject might not understand. At the same time, they achieve a depth of detail to interest those who already know something of the subject. We use them as standard texts at LTS and look forward eagerly to forthcoming volumes. Robert Strivens For many years now I have said: if you want a thorough, learned but accessible and well-written history of the church, read Nick Needham's 2,000 Years of Christ's Power. Now, with the fourth volume finally available, Christians have an excellent resource for improving their knowledge of the history of their faith. Highly recommended. Carl R. Trueman It is a brave historian who tackles the extremely challenging task of writing the 2,000-year history of the Church. Well, Nick Needham has more than risen to the challenge. This eagerly-awaited fourth volume has been well worth the wait and, not to pressure our brother scholar, we now look forward to the concluding volume! Michael A. G. Haykin What makes the books so useful is that in a non-technical (but not simplistic) way, they bring out the main story line of the history of the church through the centuries. But in addition, and most helpfully, each chapter concludes with a selection of writings (translated of course!) from people discussed in the chapter. This means that we are not only told what certain people believed, but we are able to read some of their actual writings -- and this is often extremely illuminating. Martin K.

Colourful, divisive, and radical Focussing in on the 16th Century, Needham shows us the progression of the Reformation era and the daring bravery of its figures. Its a period of history from which there are many lessons to be learntnot least of all, the vibrancy of peoples lives and the courage with which they faced death. As the series continues, Neeham uncovers how attitudes of the Middle Ages provoked the Renaissance from which the passionate Reformation debates emerged. Follow the convictions and debates of key voices such as John Calvin, John Knox, Ulrich Zwingli, Martin Luther, William Tyndale and Ignatius of Loyola. Catholics, Calvinists, Lutherans, Anabaptists our presentday divisions are rooted in the frontpage headlines of the Reformation.

How does man think? Into the Age of Reason came the Evangelical revival through the voices of George Whitefield, John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards. Despite a societal cooling, the work of God through evangelical Preachers awakened and warmed the hearts of many. In every age, Christs kingdom continues to conquer. Needham brings us close to our most recent church history and uncovers the shifts in thought that radically altered societys relationship to reason and faith. With the Enlightenment, came a tide of social, economic, and political change that deeply affected the spiritual climate. Featuring: Scientific Revolution Immanuel Kant: The philosopher of the Enlightenment The French Revolution CalvinistArminian controversy Presbyterianism in the Scottish Highlands The Great Awakening Russian Orthodoxy This fifth volume is academically reliable, the accessible humorous style and accompanying glossary makes church history a subject for everyone to benefit from.

Haykin, Professor of Church History, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary As always, Needham remains attentive to the big picture, yet he also manages to maintain a grasp of the lesser known details throughout. Especially notable is Needhams inclusion of the Eastern and Russian Orthodox Church. Highly recommended. Jonathan Master As he assesses the European Enlightenment, evangelical revivals and developments within Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy from his consistently Reformed perspective, Needham provides illuminating reading for those who share that perspective, but perhaps even more for those who do not. Mark A. Noll helpfully delineates the variegated state of professing Christendom in this crucial era with magisterial vim and verve. Highly recommended! Michael A. G. Haykin These volumes should be compulsory reading, first for pastors and elders called to teach and defend the faith, but also for Christians in general who desire to deepen their knowledge of the Saviours power throughout the churchs history.

But living a modern life is not as easy as it looks in this tumultuous, messy city.

Tallinna Ülikooli emeriitprofessor Irina Belobrovtseva on vene kirjanduse uurimise kõrval aastakümneid tegelenud ka eesti kirjandusega – nii teadlase, tõlkija kui ka kultuuriajakirjanikuna. Käesolev raamat sisaldab Belobrovtseva vestlusi eesti kirjanikega, mis on algselt salvestatud nullindatel Eesti Raadio venekeelse kanali Raadio 4 saatesarja jaoks. Nüüd jõuavad need jutuajamised trükitud kujul eestikeelse lugejani. Intervjueeritavad kirjanikud kuuluvad mitmesse põlvkonda, alates Jaan Krossist ja Debora Vaarandist kuni Tõnu Õnnepalu ja Kaur Kenderini. Kuna intervjuude algne adressaat on olnud spetsiifiline – Eesti venekeelsed kultuurihuvilised –, pakub see raamat ka pisut harjumuspäratumat fookust eesti viimase poolsajandi kirjandusele. Ühtlasi toob see taas nähtavamale mõned kirjanikud, kes tänapäeva kirjanduspildis ehk nii esil enam pole (nagu näiteks Lilli Promet, Dagmar Normet või Enn Vetemaa). See raamat on intelligentse vestluse austajatele, keda huvitab kirjanike teoste taga peituv mõttemaailm. <br><br> Autorid: Irina Belobrovtseva <br>

A slow-motion drive-by view of a collapsing universe meant to sit in the palm of your hand.How fast can you go in a buggy drawn by the flap of a butterfly’s wings? How do you measure the speed of waking from a dream? Such abstract inquiries into the unrelenting absurdity of contemporary life make up this omnibus of meditative vignettes from one of mainland China’s most prolific and recognizable—yet anonymous—new underground cartoonists of the current generation.Every story in 20 km/h toes the line between pun and poetry, and lands somewhere just short of a zen koan: Come back to it as often as you like, it will never read quite the same way twice. A nondescript figure awakes from an assembly line of identically fashioned companions and boards a rowboat destined for the unknown. A man holds the key to sleep in his hand and uses it to disappear into his mattress. The moon is plucked from the sky and fed into a vending machine for a can of soda.Woshibai’s minimalist renderings are a startlingly delightful cocktail of existential dread and silent slapstick that arrest the mind’s eye with equal parts humor and grace. <br><br> Autorid: Woshibai <br>

Which Scunthorpe defender was tapped up in the dressing rooms by Brian Clough? Who helped get him changed on top of Princess Diana's car? What did the club's record goalscorer really think about the manager sacked in a promotion season? How does it feel to miss a penalty at Wembley? Win the European Cup? And how on earth did a future England captain manage to break the club's tractor? Throughout their 120 year-plus history, Scunthorpe United have been many things... But boring? Never! Following extensive archive research and exclusive interviews with ex-managers and players spanning seven decades, 20 Legends: Scunthorpe United is packed with stories aplenty. From breathtaking cup upsets, to the raw ecstasy of promotion, the agonies of failure, lifelong friendships, boardroom coups, and good old-fashioned fallings-out; the people in the heat of the action spill the beans like never before. Each chapter tells a different story; focusing on a legend apiece from the club's history and sharing their adventures throughout the beautiful game. Brian Laws also provides the foreword. If you really want to get under the skin of a brilliant, bonkers football club at the very heart of its community, then look no further than 20 Legends: Scunthorpe United. <br><br> Autorid: Max Bell <br>

20 Seasons: Broadway Musicals of the 21st Century catalogues, categorizes, and analyzes the 269 musicals that opened on Broadway from the 2000-2001 season through the 2019-2020 season.This book is the first to comprehensively examine the musicals that premiered on Broadway during this important historical period, which was bookended by the 9/11 terrorist attacks on one end and the Coronavirus pandemic on the other. It begins by exploring the historical context for the first 20 years of the 21st century and how this impacted American culture and theatre. Rather than chronologically, the musicals are then organized into categories based on their source material and whether they were original musicals or revivals, painting a detailed picture of the Broadway musical in first 20 years of the 21st century. Jukebox musicals, screen-to-stage musicals, revivals, and other original musicals are all covered, and each chapter ends with reading guides and discussion prompts. The book not only discusses what was produced, but by whom, uncovering the stark lack of representation for women and artists of color on Broadway musical creative and design teams. Additionally, the last chapter discusses the COVID-19 pandemic, the Broadway shutdown, and what happened to the Broadway musical during the shutdown, including the response to the Black Lives Matter movement in the summer of 2020.20 Seasons: Broadway Musicals of the 21st Century will appeal to fans and scholars of musical theatre, as well as students of Musical Theatre, Musical Theatre History, American Studies, and Pop Culture Studies. 20 Seasons: Broadway Musicals of the 21st Century catalogues, categorizes, and analyzes the 269 musicals that opened on Broadway from the 2000-2001 season through the 2019-2020 season. <br><br> Autorid: Amy S.

A good walk should do more than exercise your heart, lungs and muscles; it should enhance your mood, refresh your soul and leave you knowing a little bit more about your world.

We are at a defining point in the history of news. Following a surge of fake news, clickbait and conspiracy theories, the 2020s have ushered in a welter of existential threats for public service broadcasting. So, where do we go from here? Former Today editor and head of BBC television news Roger Mosey thinks public service broadcasters must buck the trends and in this incisive book he offers twenty core ways in which the news can save itself by getting smarter, sharper, more diverse, more nuanced and less exposed to pummelling by politicians. Mosey sees two possible futures: one in which the incitements of populist demagogues and the passions of social media are ever dominant - or one where we fight hard to retain media that has an interest in the public good and preserves truth, fairness and evidence-based judgements. From one of British broadcasting's most experienced voices comes the definitive exploration of Britain's news output and what must change if we are to avoid a future of uninspiring news, uninformed decision-making and accountability-dodging politicians. <br><br> Autorid: Roger Mosey <br>
