Former U.S. Navy SEAL David Brown was the unlikeliest of candidates for the world's most grueling military selection process. Standing just 5' 3 and weighing 110 pounds, he was unlike any of the others around him who aspired to be SEALs. But through dogged determination and an iron will, he overcame every obstacle that life put in front of him to achieve his dream of becoming a SEAL.

David Brown's life has been one of perseverance, tenacity, and achievement-from childhood adventures, to love lost and found, to BUD/S, the Teams, an exciting career at NCIS, and then a steady climb to the top echelons of Federal law enforcement. And Goliath is his story through military life and what comes after-the good and the bad.

Told with raw honesty and unwavering courage, And Goliath is more than just a memoir-it's a testament to the power of perseverance. David's inspirational tale reveals how facing your own Goliaths can lead you to live your biggest life possible.

A lushly illustrated, magisterial exploration of the imaginative truth of the gospel

In the modern academy, truth and imagination are thought to be mutually exclusive. But what if truth can spring from other fonts, like art, literature, and invention?

The legacy of the Enlightenment favors historical and empirical inquiry above all other methods for searching for truth. But this assumption constrains our theological explorations. Though the historicity of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection is important, it is not the only thing that matters. For instance, is John's Gospel any less true than the Synoptics just because it's less historically accurate?

David Brown challenges us to expand our understanding of the gospel past source criticism and historical Jesus studies to include works of imagination. Reading Scripture in tandem with works of art throughout the centuries, Brown reenvisions the gospel as an open text. Scholars of theology and biblical studies, freed from literalism, will find new avenues of revelation in Gospel as Work of Art. This volume includes over one hundred color illustrations.

A grand and fascinating figure in Victorian politics, the charismatic Lord Palmerston (1784-1865) served as foreign secretary for fifteen years and prime minister for nine, engaged in struggles with everyone from the Duke of Wellington to Lord John Russell to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, engineered the defeat of the Russians in the Crimean War, and played a major role in the development of liberalism and the Liberal Party. This comprehensive biography, informed by unprecedented research in the statesman's personal archives, gives full weight not only to Palmerston's foreign policy achievements, but also to his domestic political activity, political thought, life as a landlord, and private life and affairs. Through the lens of the milieu of his times, the book pinpoints for the first time the nature and extent of Palmerston's contributions to the making of modern Britain.

Partly in a desire to defend divine freedom and partly because it is seen as the only way of preserving a distinctive voice for theology, much contemporary theology has artificially restricted revelation and religious experience, effectively cutting off those who find God beyond the walls of the Church. Against this tendency, David Brown argues for divine generosity and a broader vision of reality that sees God deploying symbols (literary, visual and sacramental) as a means of mediating between the divine world and our own material existence. A sustained argument for divine interaction and more specifically the ways in which God speaks in the wider imaginative world, this volume calls for a careful listening exercise since symbols are richer and more open in their possibilities than their users often suppose. Not only is this true of the imagery of Scripture, even inanimate objects like buildings or hostile but creative artists can have important things to say to the believing Christian. An ideal introduction that also moves the conversation forward, this volume addresses foundations, the multivalent power of symbols, artists as theologians and meaning in religious architecture.

Recent conflicts have required the armed forces to engage in what has been termed 'war amongst the people'. Scholars and practitioners come together to explore armed forces' engagement and the political, strategic, tactical and legal implication this engagement has had, both for the military actor and for the people themselves.

This is the story of a British soldier serving in strife-torn Northern Ireland. A story of a soldier caught between necessary use of force and admiration for the people he had been tasked to put down.
Bomber's Lament
Watch and wait in the dark
Don't be afraid, killers can be killed
Like other men, don't be afraid
Point the gun and squeeze the trigger
Killing is easy, living with it is hard
Dreams come, they go, only bad dreams
Where are the good dreams?
They died when you squeezed the trigger
The killers went to hell to burn and die
Your hell is here, it will last forever
God will forgive, if I ask him now
God has gone, leaving this world in disgust
He gave us paradise, we have destroyed it
Destroyed through greed and religious jealousy
The hard rain fell but couldn't cleanse the soul
Nothing will cleanse it, for this we must suffer
Priests, man, woman, child, terrorist and soldier
The unborn have a chance but the hard rain fell
Bomber cried for help to God, no help came
Cried to his fellow man, they didn't hear him
Only the warm arms of a woman gave comfort
Soothing an aching heart, wiping away the tears
All was not lost for God is still with us
Just listen and do what you know is right
Hold fast against evil that would control the world
Keep a strong heart, don't be afraid of the dark
Our arms and hearts are strong, we will go on
God, where is he? He is in us to strike down evil
And the killers in the dark will be banished
But the hard rain fell and Bomber cried.
The first book featuring Bomber Brown, The Wolves of the Radfan, tells of his early life as a soldier fighting in the Middle East. Following on from Hard Rain, Bomber finds himself in more trouble in The Darkness. A story of how easy it is to go from good to bad in Northern Ireland and Switzerland.

First of all, Basel is a melting pot of cultures in a way that few other Swiss cities are due to its location at the meeting point of Germany, France, and Switzerland. Basel's tri-national identity, enhanced by the diverse influences of its surrounding nations, gives it a sophisticated edge. You'll find a fascinating blend of German precision, French artistry, and Swiss efficiency in everything from the architecture to the varied populace to the cuisine.
Second, Basel is the cultural center of Switzerland. The city is a sanctuary for art enthusiasts, with an abundance of museums, theaters, and galleries. One of the most important art fairs in the world, Art Basel attracts collectors and artists from all over the world. In contrast to many other Swiss cities, where breathtaking views of the outdoors are the primary attraction, Basel forces you to explore human creation by providing engaging encounters with everything from modern to classical art.
The city is a major player in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries on the economic front. Basel, home to the corporate headquarters of multinational behemoths such as Novartis and Roche, is more than simply a nice face; it is a vital component of the world economy. Modernity meets antique grandeur in this distinctive urban scene made possible by this industrial might.
The Rhine River, which meanders through the city and provides a variety of recreational opportunities in addition to stunning scenery, contributes to its allure. A stroll along the banks, a picnic by the river, or a leisurely boat ride the Rhine enhances Basel's experience with a peaceful beauty. Although Switzerland is renowned for its mountains and lakes, Basel has a special natural charm due to its close proximity to the Rhine.
Basel's dedication to quality of life and sustainability is another important feature. The city's many parks and open areas, along with its effective public transportation system, demonstrate Switzerland's commitment to environmental preservation. Thus, even though it's a busy city, it yet has those oases of peace that are so typical of Swiss life.
Basel is more than just another Swiss city; it's a thriving, varied, and thought-provoking travel destination that has a little bit of everything to offer while maintaining a distinct identity all its own. Its unique blend of industry, art, and scenic beauty makes it a must-see part of the greater Swiss story, leaving every visitor with the impression that they have witnessed something quite unique.

Lord Ashley (later the Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury), the 'Poor Man's Earl', is widely remembered as a leading aristocratic philanthropist whose concern for suffering and the oppressed victims of Victorian 'progress' saw him champion a range of social, industrial, educational, and health reforms. A deeply religious individual, his evangelicalism and sense of philanthropy as 'duty' make these extraordinarily rich and candid diaries a vital resource for understanding the motivations of a prominent philanthropist and Victorian social reformer. The diaries contain detailed accounts of his labours, religious and philosophical reflections, self analysis, and descriptions and criticisms of contemporaries, and offer thereby a fascinating insight into Victorian politics and social change.

The full run of the diaries span the period 1825-85. This first volume, covering 1825-45, shows the emergence of Ashley as a passionate evangelical reformer and determined advocate for a range of domestic and international issues and causes.

In Volume 1, Part Two (covering 1843-5), the questions and issues that would dominate his public work for years to come and which he had begun to address in the period covered in Part One feature more prominently. His discussion of important topics - such as religious questions (including here the intense debates over Tractarianism); industrial working conditions, especially for children; and the work of the lunacy commission - show how he had by this point found his voice and become established as a key actor in those fields. Part Two also includes a narrative of a further European tour (in 1843). The volume closes with a political journal for 1834-42, detailing Ashley's role in, and view of, the turbulent parliamentary history of the period.

Birmingham City Bliss-a Guide for Every Traveler. Birmingham, though, is not mired in the past. On the contrary, the city has developed into a contemporary metropolis with a skyline that combines avant-garde architectural styles with historic buildings. Consider the Library of Birmingham, which is a magnificent example of modern architecture with its sweeping curves and elaborate metal façade. It is more than just a library. Not only does it have an extensive collection of books within, but its terraces provide expansive city views as well.
Birmingham shopping is a unique experience. With more than 200 stores, The Bullring & Grand Central has everything from fancy names to high-street favorites. And then there's the Mailbox, an opulent retail location featuring shops and high-end goods. Furthermore, Birmingham is home to the 'Balti Triangle, ' a neighborhood well-known for its Pakistani and Kashmiri cuisine. Not only does the city have a diverse range of different cuisines available, ranging from Italian to Japanese, but it also holds a number of food festivals all year long.
Birmingham does not disappoint those who enjoy the outdoors either. With more than 8,000 acres of parks and open spaces, it's one of the greenest cities in the UK. In addition to mini-golf and pedal boats, Cannon Hill Park has a small zoo. Another breathtaking natural treasure is Lickey Hills, which offers expansive vistas for miles around. Not to be missed, the Birmingham Botanical Gardens provide a tranquil haven right in the middle of the city.
The city's varied cultural landscape is reflected in the abundance of festivals and events that it hosts. Birmingham International Carnival is a vibrant celebration of dance, music, and cuisine. Birmingham Pride celebrates the LGBTQ+ community, and Frankfurt Christmas Market, which is frequently regarded as the greatest in England, turns the city into a wintry wonderland.
