Two decorated American war heroes survive combat in Afghanistan only to find themselves on an unfamiliar battlefield - the courtroom - in this true story by the commander of Delta Company, 1/506^th a.k.a. Dog Company.

The deaths of two of his men is agony for Captain Roger Hill and the agony is intensified when he realizes those responsible - 12 Taliban spies- have been working right under his nose on the American base.

When unreasonable military regulations demand that he free the spies within 96 hours, and Hill can't get his superior officer to respond to the deadline, he takes action to intimidate the prisoners to confess - and to protect his company from another attack.

Instead of being thanked, Hill's superior brings him up on charges making this decorated officer's next battle a personal one - for his honor and for that of 1st Sergeant Tommy Scott, his second in command.

Combining the camaraderie and battle action of Band of Brothers with the military courtroom drama ofA Few Good Men, Roger Hill's story will leave you impassioned, inspired and forever changed.

Principles of Virology is the leading virology textbook because it does more than collect and present facts about individual viruses. Instead, it facilitates an understanding of basic virology by examining the shared processes and capabilities of viruses. Using a set of representative viruses to present the complexity and diversity of a myriad of viruses, this rational approach enables students to understand how reproduction is accomplished by known viruses and provides the tools for future encounters with new or understudied viruses.

This fully updated edition represents the rapidly changing field of virology. A major new feature is the inclusion of 26 video interviews with leading scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of virology.

Applicable courses: undergraduate courses in virology and microbiology as well as graduate courses in virology and infectious diseases.

La mattina del 5 marzo 2003 il piccolo Colton Burpo, che non ha ancora compiuto quattro anni, entra in sala operatoria per essere sottoposto con urgenza a un intervento delicatissimo. Ha l'appendice perforata e gli errori commessi dai medici prima di arrivare alla diagnosi corretta non lasciano molte speranze. Todd, il padre, si ritira a pregare in una stanzetta dell'ospedale, mentre la mamma, Sonja, cerca conforto al telefono nelle parole dei parenti e degli amici più stretti. La tensione è altissima, per tre lunghissimi minuti i medici 'perdono' Colton. Ma come per miracolo l'esito dell'operazione è positivo e il bambino guarisce perfettamente. Passeranno anni prima che i genitori attoniti si trovino ad ascoltare i racconti, del tutto spontanei e tranquilli, di ciò che Colton ha visto in quei tre minuti e dell'incredibile viaggio che ha compiuto, fino al Paradiso e ritorno. Lì stava in braccio a Gesù, che lo ha accolto sul suo cavallo color arcobaleno e 'ha detto agli angeli di cantare, perché avevo tanta paura', ha incontrato Dio, che è 'grandissimissimo e ci vuole veramente bene', ha visto la luce 'sparata' dallo Spirito Santo sugli uomini, ha conosciuto la sorellina mai nata, di cui nessuno gli aveva parlato prima, ha osservato 'dall'alto' il medico che lo 'aggiustava' e i suoi genitori in pena per lui. In questo libro è suo padre, Todd, a raccontarci la storia di una famiglia normale toccata da un'esperienza straordinaria.

This #1 New York Times bestseller gets a limited-edition version with movie art and a new introduction and updated epilogue from the authors.

Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year-old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who, during emergency surgery, slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn’t know what to believe, but soon the evidence was clear.

Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather, who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how “reaaally big” God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit “shoots down power” from heaven to help us.

Told by the father but often in Colton’s own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready because a last battle is coming.

This special movie edition that will be available in time for the 4/16/14 premiere of the movie will include bonus material written by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent such as a new introduction on how the movie came about and insights into the movie making experience. In addition, the eight pages of photos will expand to sixteen pages and include recent photos from the life of the family and the filming.

General Jerry Boykin is one of the original members of the Delta Force and has spent the majority of his career in Special Forces. His work in this area of the military placed him in many battles--some of them legendary. He was commander of the Delta Force team portrayed in the movie Black Hawk Down.

These and other dramatic experiences make Boykin's life story read like the riveting fiction of Tom Clancy. He shares how his foundation of faith--while challenged and even broken--was restored and became the lifeblood that brought him through unimaginable circumstances to a rich and inspiring life.

In the end, the general realizes his life would have gone very differently, even tragically, without his faith.

Heaven Is for Real is the true story of Colton Burpo, the four-year-old son of a small-town Nebraska pastor. After surviving emergency surgery, he began talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. He also described being in heaven, seeing God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and meeting long-dead family members. Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message of this book is that heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.

'A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubtand thrill those who believe.'

-Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me

'Do you remember the hospital, Colton?' Sonja said.'Yes, mommy, I remember,' he said. 'That's where theangels sang to me.'

When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his familywas overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though,was the story that emerged in the months that followed-a story as beautiful as itwas extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back.

Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during thesurgery-and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents weredoing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked ofvisiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom hehad never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven thatmatched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read.

With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels,how 'really, really big' God is, and how much God loves us. Retold by his father,but using Colton's uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpseof the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, 'Nobody is old and nobodywears glasses.'

Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offeringthe chance to see, and believe, like a child.
