1 Samuel: A Narrative Commentary

by Keith Bodner

This substantial commentary presents 1 Samuel as a sophisticated work of literature, where the reader is challenged with a narrative that is fraught with interpretative possibilities. In his distinctive literary reading Bodner lays special emphasis on the intriguing array of characters that populate the narrative, and on the plot, in its design and its configurations. Thus, a host of intriguing episodes and personalities are passed in review: from the symbolically charged closed womb of Hannah to the backwards fall and the broken neck of Eli, to the strange tour of the Ark of God through the menacing Philistine pentapolis, wreaking havoc. Then there is the complex portrayal of Samuel the prophet, the emergence of the fugitive David as a leader, and the eventual decline, madness, and necromancy of King Saul. Only through a literary study of its many ironies and ambiguities, Bodner amply shows, can the richness of this classic royal drama be fully appreciated.

1 Tale, 2 Tales, 3...

by Sinelia Peixoto

Tales for all ages, everything that society needs discussing. "Do you know what you are doing?", I heard Amanda ask, but I was too focused on the pain I felt to be able to answer. Nobody told me be it hurts this much. Never read anything about this, but I watched movies e saw people scream in situations like that, but still, how could it hurt so bad? My God, I'm still a kid! A child having another child. I didn't want to be a sixteen-year-old mother! We all hear stories of how good it is to have a son and how much pregnancy is a blessing, but this one... I was nauseous the entire term. When I ate, I shook and puked. I got fat. I stopped studying for this, lost friends, lost a year in school, lost my life, lost my family. Lost everything. When Amanda got wind, she was upset, because she believes that we should save yourself to that special person we will one day find. But I'm not like that. I'm not strong enough to fight against everyone and Alex had already given me an ultimatum, said he wouldn't wait another year. I was afraid of what my friend would say, but after a moment of desperation, she simply hugged me and let me cry on her shoulder.

1 Timothy: A 30-Day Devotional (Strong Man Devotionals)

by Vince Miller

Based on the New Testament book of 1 Timothy, these 30 daily devotions include Scripture, prayers, and actionable ideas for men who want to grow in spiritual leadership and become truly courageous men of God. This in-depth 30-day devotional and Bible study helps men grow more courageous in their role as spiritual leaders in their families, workplaces, and churches as they listen to the apostle Paul mentor his protégé Timothy. Timothy was known for being timid, but Paul—one of the greatest church leaders of the first century— spoke the truth into this young man, giving him courage to be a leader. In 1 Timothy: A Strong Man Is Courageous, Vince Miller explains how Timothy lived in the metropolis of Ephesus, where Paul had planted a church years before. This church had fallen into doctrinal and organizational disrepair, and now Paul wanted Timothy to get the church back on track. Every devotion in 1 Timothy includes a reflection from Vince drawn from Paul&’s words, insights from other biblical books, and ideas for applying Paul&’s advice to your own situation. As Vince will show you, God uses mentoring relationships for His glory on our journey to becoming spiritual leaders and learners.

The 1% Windfall

by Rafi Mohammed

Leading pricing expert Rafi Mohammed shows businesses how to reap a financial windfall and foster growth using the underutilized and often overlooked strategy of setting prices. The 1% Windfall reveals how modest incremental changes to an everyday business practice-pricing-can yield significant rewards. Illustrating the power of pricing, a study of the Global 1200 found that if companies raised prices by just 1%, their average operating profits would increase by 11%. Using a 1% increase in price, some companies would see even more growth in percentage of profit: Sears, 155%; McKesson, 100%; Tyson, 81%; Land O'Lakes, 58%; and Whirlpool, 35%. The good news is that better pricing is more than simply raising prices. Instead, the key is to offer customers a variety of pricing options. This strategy is win-win: profits to companies and choices for consumers. But how do executives and managers set the right price? Underpinned by sound empirical research and real-life anecdotes, The 1% Windfall addresses this fundamental question. This book offers guidelines that any company-whether a multinational conglomerate, a small business, or even a nonprofit-can follow to create a comprehensive pricing strategy for any product or service. In addition, these versatile techniques and tools provide solutions to avert a slump in a recession, offset the impact of inflation, or battle a new competitor. The result is a mind-opening, clear blueprint for com-panies to price for profit and growth.

The 10: The Healthy Way to Lose 10 Kilos in 10 Weeks (& keep them off forever!)

by Sarah Di Lorenzo

Created by clinical nutritionist Sarah Di Lorenzo, The 10:10 Diet is a 10-week meal and exercise plan aimed at helping you lose 10 kilos and keep the weight off in the healthiest way possible.The 10:10 Diet not only outlines an easy-to-follow 10-week program to lose 10 kilos, but it goes behind the program to explain the science and logic that were used to create it. Devised by clinical nutritionist Sarah Di Lorenzo, The 10:10 Diet outlines the factors that contribute to weight gain and how to eliminate or respond more effectively to them. The roles played by stress, lack of sleep, unhealthy food options, mental and societal roadblocks and other factors are explained in layperson's terms, and Sarah draws from both her own experience as a single mother of three and those of her clients to demonstrate methods to overcome obstacles standing in the way of weight loss. Rejecting the notion of fad diets, Sarah has crafted a manageable, achievable program aimed at people with busy lifestyles who will feel the benefit of a new commitment to their health by the conclusion of the 10-week program, and have the knowledge and understanding to maintain their new habits in the future.Praise for Sarah Di Lorenzo 'I want you to know that with Sarah&’s help, you WILL reach your goal weight. But more than that – you WILL keep it off. Plus, your mind WILL be clear, and you WILL have energy in abundance. Put simply, you WILL feel amazing.' Monique Wright, journalist and TV presenter 'Sarah showed me how to do something I hadn&’t been able to do in years… lose those last, stubborn few kilos that annoyed and frustrated me. She gave me a healthy plan to stick to, with no tiresome calories counting, just good food. And the best thing was, it could be changed here and there as my days suddenly got busy. It was like having a little friend in my phone, with the perfect eating plan and then the back-ups in case life got in the way. I can&’t recommend her highly enough.' Natalie Barr, journalist and TV presenter. 'Sarah admits I am her most needy, intractable and ravenous client. To succeed, she needed more than science; it was a medley of psychology, stealth-health, tofu-trauma therapy and round-the-clock chocolate intervention. I bombarded her with memes of starving walruses and thought our friendship was beyond repair when she informed me my Cadburys smorgasbord would be replaced with HALF a protein bar (I can still feel part of my soul dying as I sliced it in two). I did it gracelessly and grudgingly and yet Sarah stripped off 16 kilos in 8 weeks. Stop reading and urgently buy her book.' Matt Doran, journalist and TV presenter 'Over the years I&’ve bought every health-kick book there is – macrobiotic, vegan, &‘eating right for my blood type&’ – some I barely made past the first day, others the first... page! Now, thanks to Sarah, I&’ve finally found what works for me! Her detox approach is a celebration of food and feeling your best. No punishment, restriction or radical plans. Instead, a clear roadmap to restoring your best health, based on actual science (thanks to the countless medical studies Sarah loves to read). The most surprising result – I&’m still following its principles long after my 10 weeks are done. The other books are binned; Sarah&’s plan has become a way of life.' Sally Bowrey, journalist and TV presenter
