Roger Stronstad offers a cogent and thought-provoking study of Luke as a charismatic theologian whose understanding of the Spirit was shaped wholly by his understanding of Jesus and the nature of the early church. Stronstad locates Luke's pneumatology in the historical background of Judaism and views Luke as an independent theologian who makes a unique contribution to the pneumatology of the New Testament. This work challenges traditional Protestants to reexamine the impact of Pentecost and explores the Spirit's role in equipping God's people for the unfinished task of mission. The second edition has been revised and updated throughout and includes a new foreword by Mark Allan Powell.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294836404597,"sku":"9780801048586","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780801048586_be9623b4-c72d-410a-b210-738de9543c14.jpg?v=1786015723"},{"product_id":"9781398376267","title":"My Revision Notes: NCFE Level 1\/2 Technical Award in Health and Fitness, Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSet students on track to achieve the best grade possible with My Revision Notes.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Our clear and concise approach to revision will help students learn, practise and apply their skills and understanding.

Richard and Clara Greaves live in a stone manor paid for by the bank Richard founded three decades ago. Their oldest son, Jack, is the high school athletic director, their daughter, Emily, the county solicitor. Their youngest son, Tom, is a former champion on American Ninja. Their lives appear charmed, at least until the October weekend when they begin to unravel, quickly and publicly.  In the wake of shady business transactions, a floundering marriage, and Tom’             s new Leonard Cohen tattoo—             the Greaves are so harried no one seems to have realized the family matriarch has suffered a stroke. Into this chaos comes Nayma, a young Mexican-American woman in a very white town, lonely Elvis, war veteran and high school groundskeeper, and Dr. Elias Agnew, a high school teacher existing behind a facade of dissimulation—             all of whom challenge traditional notions of what it means to be southern, and what it means to be accepted, particularly when the old ways begin to crumble.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302837006709,"sku":"9781646034123","price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781646034123_3b0cf90a-2f77-4a29-8af5-551dd3825866.jpg?v=1786024614"},{"product_id":"9781905492299","title":"Deco for Divers","description":"Fully updated and revised. Award winning Deco for Divers provides a comprehensive overview of the principles underlying decompression theory. Mark Powell has written a book that for the first time allows the average diver to fully understand the principles behind this fascinating aspect of diving. This book bridges the gap between introductory books and source scientific information. What I wanted was an intermediate overview that went into more detail but wasn't written for academics or researchers. When I became a technical diving instructor I started teaching other people about decompression theory. I tried to give an overview of decompression theory at this intermediate level to give my students a better understanding of what was happening during decompression dives. This was always very popular amongst divers who, like me, had always wanted to understand more about the concepts and models underlying decompression theory. I was always being asked if I could recommend a good book which covered this area but as before, there was no such text available. Over time I started giving out notes for the decompression theory portion of my courses and these notes started building.   Initially they were just a few pages but the notes became more and more comprehensive and started to cover more and more areas. Eventually they grew into this book.

It may be tough at the top, but it's dangerous in the middle -- and the rewards at the top are far greater. Machiavellian Intelligence argues that many intelligent and hard-working professionals with good leadership skills fail to maximize their career potential because of a number of instinctive 'good' habits - things that make them highly effective executives, well-liked and respected by their colleagues, but which are not best designed to take them to the very top of their chosen career.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309050605941,"sku":"9781911498506","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911498506_1030081c-bb1e-478c-947e-29cecf8aff91.jpg?v=1786028966"},{"product_id":"in-company-3-0-upper-intermediate-level-students-book-pack","title":"In Company 3.0 Upper Intermediate Level Student's Book Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003eUpdated and expanded material to reflect the changing world of modern business in short, accessible units\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWebcode access to an Online Workbook, where students can practise their language online\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNEW Business Scenarios - challenging video case studies simulating real-life business situations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNEW In Company In Action videos supporting the Business Scenarios, and In Company Interviews videos showcasing business professionals around the world\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudent’s Resource Centre contains integrated and flexible online material\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlobal approach with skills-based content from a range of international sources\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57466781204853,"sku":"9780230455351","price":52.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780230455351.jpg?v=1785654842"},{"product_id":"perform-to-win","title":"Perform To Win","description":"This book explores and demonstrates the transformative learning experiences that organizations and their leaders can derive from the arts. It is through the arts that we have always explored our humanity: through dance and music; art and sculpture; theatre and poetry. The arts allow us to explore our own selves and our relationship to others and to the world around us. This central role of the arts is commonly accepted in everyday life, but the implications of this are not typically extended to the world of business. The authors argues strongly that, to the contrary, the methodologies and approaches that are fundamental to performing artists of all kinds can provide exactly the kind of inspirational, people-centred and performance-related techniques that are missing from much of the typically mechanistic, systems-based and process-driven training and development of managers and executives. Technical proficiency and expertise are not enough to deliver an award-winning result; what enables a truly outstanding performance is the elusive but entirely recognizable element of artistry - the spark that transforms a technically good performance into something extraordinary.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57647687336309,"sku":"9781910649251","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781910649251.jpg?v=1791827904"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-mark-powell.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
