Stalin A Biography: A Biography
by Robert ServiceOverthrowing the conventional image of Stalin as an uneducated political administrator inexplicably transformed into a pathological killer, Robert Service reveals a more complex and fascinating story behind this notorious twentieth-century figure. Drawing on unexplored archives and personal testimonies gathered from across Russia and Georgia, this is the first full-scale biography of the Soviet dictator in twenty years. Service describes in unprecedented detail the first half of Stalin's life--his childhood in Georgia as the son of a violent, drunkard father and a devoted mother; his education and religious training; and his political activity as a young revolutionary. No mere messenger for Lenin, Stalin was a prominent activist long before the Russian Revolution. Equally compelling is the depiction of Stalin as Soviet leader. Service recasts the image of Stalin as unimpeded despot; his control was not limitless. And his conviction that enemies surrounded him was not entirely unfounded. Stalin was not just a vengeful dictator but also a man fascinated by ideas and a voracious reader of Marxist doctrine and Russian and Georgian literature as well as an internationalist committed to seeing Russia assume a powerful role on the world stage. In examining the multidimensional legacy of Stalin, Service helps explain why later would-be reformers--such as Khrushchev and Gorbachev--found the Stalinist legacy surprisingly hard to dislodge. Rather than diminishing the horrors of Stalinism, this is an account all the more disturbing for presenting a believable human portrait. Service's lifeti
Hartedief
by Rudie Van RensburgOpsomming ’n Berugte reeksmoordenaar jag by stormweer onder die Kaap se vroue, en dis Rooi en Kassie wat hom moet vastrek. Maar hoe spoor jy ’n miljoenêr-ontsnappeling op wat die polisie al jare lank ontglip, geen digitale spoor los nie, nie eens ’n selfoon besit nie en hope vals ID’s het? En boonop sy slagoffers se harte steel deur hulle net een kyk te gee? Die Hartedief kom met moord weg, en dan is Kassie se volle aandag ook nie eintlik by die saak nie, want hy is smoorverlief op ’n aanvallige mede-seëlversamelaar. Om vlerk te sleep is nie vir sissies nie, en sy eie hart is in gevaar. Om sake vir hom en Rooi te vererger word hul baas by die Spesiale Spookeenheid daarvan verdink dat sy hul ondersoek doelbewus in die wiele ry. Kassie weet hy moet haar onskuld bewys. Intussen word nóg Kaapse vroue wreedaardig vermoor wanneer daar onweer broei.
Pirana
by Rudie Van RensburgKASSIE SE VYANDE IS TOT DIE TANDE GEWAPEN … Wanneer Kassie Kasselman die saak van ’n vermiste oudkollega begin ondersoek, is dit duidelik hier skuil meer as net ’n dwelmverwante verdwyning. Hoe lyk dit dan vir Kassie of dit verband hou met twee ander sake − ’n ontvoering én ’n moord − op sy lessenaar? Van die Kaapse ganglands tot die Krugerwildtuin met sy renosterstropers; tussen ’n verslonsde Bolandse hoewe met ’n grieselige visdam en die glansen- skanswêreld van diplomasie moet Kassie sy pad voel-voel vind – of Rooi Els se vrou is visvoer.

1 Corinthians: Living Together in a Church Divided (New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series)
by Scot McKnightPaul writes a letter to a church routinely in disagreement with Paul's vision for how to live as a Christian in Corinth (a Roman city). The Corinthians were daily challenged to pursue Romanitas, or the social, cultural, and religious life of the elites in the Roman world, and thus the Corinthians were pursuing too much prestige and status and honor. Various factions, or divisions, had formed among the house churches. Paul addresses a series of church problems presenting themselves in Corinth that need to be understood and corrected so the believers of Corinth can walk in the way of Christ more consistently.Scot McKnight provides scholarly insights with a pastoral heart for all the books of the New Testament. 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.McKnight also offers some historical context; connects the passage to the larger story of the Bible; provides an illustration, a metaphor, or an image that brings the passage alive; and provides a list of 2-3 resources for further reading or study. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily reading.

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.
