This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Series: International Theological Commentary The book of Ruth, set in the period of the judges, is a beautiful story of the love, covenant loyalty, and daring initiative of two impoverished widows. Together with a generous open-hearted man, they demonstrate the truth of Proverbs 23:18 that applies to individuals, families, communities, and nations: "Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off." In this excellent commentary E. John Hamlin approaches the book of Ruth as literature, as history, as part of the canon, and as truth-telling story.

From "Worster" to the Process of Healing is a journey through the life of individuals who have found themselves in a state of brokenness that has risen in all human beings because of the "fall" in the Garden of Eden. The fall has manifested itself in all areas of life which oftentimes gives rise to dysfunction in the lives of many families. This book seeks to look at the lives of some prominent characters in biblical history and trace their journey and to see the many serious acts they made as a result of their sinful nature. What is so interesting is that their actions affected not only their lives but also the lives of many generations. As we journey through the process of wounded lives, this book looks at various clinicians and their approaches to bring healing to wounded persons. What we may find interesting is that, the community of faith has a vital role to play in the healing of the wounded and broken individual. This book does not seek to be the final source of one's solutions to health but seeks to be hopefully a source that one may gain further insight into the process of healing or wellness.
Total Propaganda moves the study of propaganda out of the exclusive realm of world politics into the more inclusive study of popular culture, media, and politics. All the participatory functioning elements of the society are aspects of membership in the popular culture. Thus, the values of popular music, media, politics, debates over social issues, and even international trade become everyday propaganda to which everyone may relate. To emphasize the necessity for new thinking about propaganda, Edelstein creates the concepts of the new propaganda and the old, and he devises a language of "uninyms" to convey their meanings more quickly. "Oldprop" is characteristic of mass cultures and utilizes...
Experience gripping wartime stories and honest prayers by this Camp David chaplain now serving in Iraq. When words mean less and less, but money talks more and more; when blasphemy is a best seller, and eternal war has replaced hopeful diplomacy; in times like these is prayer even possible? Patrick J. McLaughlin thinks so. McLaughlin is an active duty Navy Chaplain who has ministered to heads of state and to soldiers living and dying in the heat of Iraq. No Atheists in Foxholes assembles Chaplain McLaughlin's experiences and prayers from e-mails, private notes, and personal conversations that take us real-time into realms of duty and spirit: from the quiet darkness of his infant son's New England bedroom on September 11, 2001, to the bomshelled medical tents and blistered Army Humvees of Anbar Province. Chaplain McLaughlin believes that prayer is not only possible, but critical. "We must all learn to pray for peace," he says, "and then become an answer to that prayer."
