Pope Pius IX declared her the “Patroness of the Children of Mary.” St. John Vianney attributed all of his miracles to her, stating, “I have never asked for anything through the intercession of my Little Saint without having been answered.” This early virgin-martyr continues her wonder-working ways in our twenty-first century. Devotion to St. Philomena is spreading like a re-kindled wildfire throughout the universal Church today, with testimonies to her miraculous ...

This book is the shorter version of my book Paul’s Agon. It seeks to provide a more succinct expression of the key points in that book which is over 500 pages. These chapters represent the issue of what the Apostle Paul actually did and how it has impacted during the two centuries since he invented Christianity and Jesus. Robert’s Razor is the name I have given to the mindset of rejection of anything that cannot possibly be intellectually. Robert’s Razor, similar in intent to Occam’s Razor, rejects any idea that reeks of the mystical and the non-sequitur. It also rejects any moral ...

Yet the words of Isaiah, which were so plain and simple to Nephi, tend to mystify the Latter-day Saints. The words of Ezekiel go largely unread. The dire warnings in 3rd Nephi are casually skimmed over. Why?...

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.

This book is a fascinating new approach to the Book of Mormon that offers new insights into how Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon. Readers have always known the book contains language from the King James Bible, but what about all the non-biblical language? Where did Joseph Smith acquire his lexicon? In his earliest known personal history (1832), Joseph Smith, Jr., said he had an "intimate acquaintance with those of different denominations." Later, when asked about the establishment of the Church, Joseph began with his "experience while in my juvenile years, say from 6 years old up ...
