Images connected to money are found frequently in the Bible and in the hymns and songs Christians sing. The ideas of ransom, redemption, and forgiveness are a key part of how the work of Jesus on the cross is described. But what do the pictures of ransom, redemption, and forgiveness actually mean? How would they have been understood by the first hearers of the gospel? How do they link to kidnapping, slavery, and debt? Using practical examples from his experience as a banking lawyer and from history, David McIlroy shows how power, money, and sin combine to trap us, leaving us in desperate need of a redeemer to rescue us. This book will deepen your understanding of Jesus's death, enrich your worship, and inspire you to share and demonstrate the transformative power of the salvation achieved through the cross and resurrection.

A collection of wildly inventive portraits of musician Tom Waits, the result of a 30-year collaboration with photographer and illustrator Matt Mahurin This visually arresting book is a testament to the unique collaboration, going back three decades, between the photographer and illustrator Matt Mahurin and the musician Tom Waits. Having shot magazine portraits, album covers, and music videos of Waits, Mahurin was inspired to resurrect 100 dormant film negatives as a jumping off point to explore his own surreal, poetic, and occasion­ally dark vision. The images vary from traditional por­traits to ones that capture Waits in concert—but the majority are richly imagined scenes in which Waits is more muse than musician. In addition to the diverse images, the book includes a foreword by Waits, an essay by Mahurin on their longtime collaboration, and 20 original paintings, drawings, photographs, and digital images inspired by Waits’s song titles.

Life in the fast lane... Screaming fans... Bright lights... Fame... And all the pressure that comes with them. "So... are there any musicians in here?" A simple question, asked one afternoon in a rural high school music room. A few days later, six kids answer it. A year later, they are the biggest thing in pop music. Go figure? Join Martin, Misty, Joshua, Ariel, Rhyan, and Vanessa - known to the world as RANSOM - as they go from small-town Kansas, to filling 15,000 seat arenas, and ultimately, to the stage at the Grammys - twice. Tag along as these six amazingly talented friends show the world that fame can be achieved without losing one's roots, and that being driven and passionate, can turn 'life in the fast lane' into the 'journey of a lifetime'.
