Church Saints

My thesis is simple: “If The Church Is True, Then Why Doesn't Sunday School End On Time?” Let me unpack that quote. First, this is not an anti-Mormon book, but “inside baseball” for faithful members. And who is my audience? Normal members: people like you. A note on spelling. I used the King James Version of the Bible, and I retain the archaic spelling.

The Saint Makers chronicles the unlikely alliance between Father Hotze and Dr. Andrea Ambrosi, a country priest and a cosmopolitan Italian canon lawyer, as the two piece together the life of a long dead Korean War hero and military chaplain and fashion it into a case for eternal divinity. Joe Drape offers a front row seat to the Catholic Church's saint-making machinery—which, in many ways, has changed little in 2,000 years-and examines how, or if, faith and science can coexist.

He's done everything right, followed every rule his father gave him. He was ready, at least that's what everyone kept telling him. But was he really? He didn't feel ready, but his sisters told him it would feel right once he met his match. Hopefully they were right, because she was on her way. She was running away, but it was justified. He was someone worth running from. She should have just made the call right away, why had she chickened out? She wouldn't be in this mess if she were braver and had just jumped. Well she corrected that and made the call. She was now on her way across the ...

Depuis sept ans, Nauvoo était le lieu de rassemblement des saints des derniers jours, mais sous la menace des émeutiers qui projettent de les chasser de leurs foyers, ils fuient la ville. Sous la direction de Brigham Young et du Collège des douze apôtres, ils se dirigent vers l’Ouest et traversent les plaines, confiant que Dieu leur prépare un foyer au-delà des sommets majestueux des montagnes Rocheuses.

Book of Mormon principles that have changed my life. This book is not a commentary, nor has it been my objective to explain in these pages the "meaning" of Book of Mormon verses. Rather, it contains chapter by chapter truths that I have gleaned as I have read the Book of Mormon and that have affected me literally eternally. Since 1960, the Book of Mormon has been an integral part of my life. I have read it cover-to-cover on the average of more than once a year since then and continue to do so. My impressions included in this book come from extensive notes that I have made in margins of my ...

See how Jesus Christ gave a profound prophetic gift to Joseph Smith, the first prophet of the Latter-day Saint religious movement. Hundreds of prophecies, compiled by timeline, are cited, and many with an explanation of the circumstances around their fulfillment are listed. Follow the young Joseph as he begins to give prophecies in Palmyra, then onto Kirtland and Missouri, ending in Illinois. It might be easy to brush aside a few prophecies, but when dozens-no hundreds- are fulfilled it would be wise to take note. While fulfilled prophecies should not be the entire basis of a testimony of ...

She just wants to stop the endless string of setups. Why can't her mom get it into her head that she's not interested in these guys she keeps inviting to dinner? And on Christmas Day!

He thought his sister was crazy getting matched, and was so relieved when she gets a lucky break and it works out. But then his brother does it, and it works for him, too. Maybe there was something to this matchmaker thing...

Using exclusively official Catholic writings, O.C. Lambert compares what the Catholic Church says in public to what they admit in their writings, and frequently finds them in stark contradiction. This volume of the popular Roman Catholicism Against Itself series exposes their suppression of the Bible, the history of Mariology (the worship of Mary as greater than Christ), of praying to dead Catholics--even those who they claim are in Purgatory, the history behind infant baptism, the creation and evolution of the priesthood, deliberate mistranslations of the Bible, and the history of their "...

She finally talked her friend into calling a matchmaker, and her friend was matched right away. But she wasn't. She let go of her job and her apartment, moved into her parent's home, and waited. Then Willow finally calls months later with her match. She could hardly wait a second longer, until she got on that plane. Now she couldn't be more nervous. She was shy, will she even be able to talk to him? Will he be able to accept her tendency to disappear for hours, sucked into her hobby? Would he be upset that she'd rather stay home then go out and socialize? She'd always dreamed of a husband ...
