I know what you're thinking: "Another book on money!" And you're right, this is another book on money, but it's probably not quite from the angle that you're thinking. Money Matters (to God) is a book about seeing finances through the eyes of God instead of the eyes of society. Through this book, we will walk through the scripture to see what the Bible actually has to say about money and how we should use it. You may be surprised to see what's there. Money is an important topic to God. You can clearly see that through the Old and New Testaments. Jesus talked more about money than He did about heaven or hell. Money is important to God simply because it's important to us. Sometimes too important. My prayer is that, through this book, you will be able to shed the burden of financial stress through priority and perspective.

Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire, founded in 1916 to tackle the great killer disease of tuberculosis, is famous for carrying out the UK's first heart transplant operation in 1979. It followed this up not only with many other heart transplants but also with the UK's first heart and lung operation in 1984 and the world's first heart, lung and liver transplant in 1986. With unique access to Papworth's archives, historian Peter Pugh here tells the story of this ground-breaking hospital for the first time. Alongside the background to that first UK heart transplant – and the ethical controversies that surrounded it – Pugh explores the opposition to heart operations in general, Papworth's difficulties dealing with NHS authorities especially over funding, and the discussions for over 50 years as to whether the hospital should move alongside Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge. As an insight into the history of medicine and surgery in the UK, as well as a story literally of life and death, The Heart of the Matter will be compelling reading.
