How artists portrayed the Bible in large canvas paintings is frequently the subject of scholarly exploration, yet the presentation of biblical texts in contemporary graphic designs has been largely ignored. In this book Amanda Dillon engages multimodal analysis, a method of semiotic discourse, to explore how visual composition, texture, color, directionality, framing, angle, representations, and interactions produce potential meanings for biblical graphic designs, particularly in the woodcuts of Meinrad Craighead for the Roman Catholic Sunday Missal and the illustrations of Nicholas Markell for the worship books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

In this gripping whistleblower account of FBI corruption and malfeasance, Greg Dillon--veteran state investigator and former FBI agent--finds himself caught up in an FBI misconduct scandal resulting in coverups, retaliation, a federal trial, and a landmark court ruling. When Greg Dillon is assigned to a federal fugitive task force in Connecticut, he inadvertently uncovers a pattern of misconduct and falsified affidavits. After reporting his concerns to the politically connected but incompetent chief state's attorney, the whistleblower finds himself a target of reprisal. Investigated, transferred, demoted, and threatened, Dillon hires an attorney, and--with the assistance of legendary whistleblower Frank Serpico--takes on both the state of Connecticut and the Department of Justice in federal court, resulting in an explosive verdict and a significant court ruling. 10 percent of the author's profits will be donated to Shepherds.
Reveals the esoteric mysteries encoded in the order of the alphabet. Our alphabet hides a Mystery older than its magic of turning sound into shapes. Secrets lie in the choice of objects chosen to represent early alphabet letters and their order, a pattern inherited by numerous traditions, an alchemical spell to return the sun from the dark and guide the soul toward enlightenment. Revealing the spell hidden in our alphabet, Judith Dillon explores the importance of the placement of each letter in early alphabets and how each letter represented a specific step on the alchemical path of self-transformation. She investigates the alphabet’s spread around the world, beginning in Egypt and then spreading through Hebrew, Greek, and other ancient systems of writing and divination. These include Germanic Runes, Celtic Oghams, Tarot cards, the I Ching, and the wisdom of Mother Goose. Comparing the mythic attributes of many traditions, the author reveals the commonality of a numerical placement of symbols and how the hidden message was adapted by multiple peoples using objects and shapes from their own traditions. Examining the esoteric wisdom encoded in the alphabet, Dillon divides the numerical sequence of letters into three distinct parts. The first family of letters represents the Earth and describes the cycle of the natural year. The second family represents the Underworld and symbolizes the hero’s journey through judgments and death into the light of day. The third represents the Heavens and its astronomical cycles. Together, our alphabet symbols are a spell of alchemical stages on a path toward the light. Hidden in plain sight, our alphabet represents a transmission of ancient wisdom, the great alchemical Mystery of transforming dark earth into shining gold, of releasing the soul from the bonds of matter into the gold of enlightenment.

The purpose of this book is simple: to journey through the remarkable and (literally) astronomically remote events that led to the single, solitary Son of Man walking among us. And in doing so, to take a journey similar to the first authors of antiquity, a journey of everyday language and thought to match ourselves and those who today want to know what all the hubbub is surrounding Jesus.As you learn about just twenty-four of the prophecies surrounding the Messiah, you will walk through the history, the archaeology, the language, and the life of those who lived thousands of years ago so that you can better know them in terms that you can understand. More importantly, you will glimpse at why they did.
God's creation is intricate, delicate, magnificent, colorful, majestic, surprising, peaceful, powerful, awe-inspiring, and so much more God loves us so much that he gave his only Son to die on a cross. Jesus willingly accepted God's punishment for our sins, so that we, through faith, might have eternal life with Him. During Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the crowds shouted (Luke 19:38), "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord Peace in heaven and glory in the highest " But the religious leaders could not handle the people honoring Jesus, and so they asked him to correct them. But Jesus said, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out" (Luke 19:40). In this book, John Dillon combines his incredible travel photography with biblical principles and insights from Scripture to point people to God. Each picture will help you appreciate God's creativity and love, and encourage you to worship him, knowing that there is coming a day when God will call an end to this present age. At that time, there will be people in Christ from all races gathered together singing in one voice. This will be history's greatest worship experience
