He bids his friends farewell and goes to the city to find his love, Esther, the daughter of an esteemed merchant. Being a stranger in the land of his forefathers, Kumeni is imprisoned in King Herod's dungeon, sold into servitude, and, after an encounter with a ruthless thief, all hope of marrying his beloved Esther is brutally snatched from him. Come with Kumeni to Israel, travel the dusty roads to Jericho, and meet the child Messiah ...

“Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?” IN nothing does the Church of Christ so plainly vindicate her true character and mission, in nothing does she affirm so clearly that she is a divine institution, and not a merely human, as in bold assaults upon the kingdom of Satan; challenging the adversary on his own ground — not timidly content if only she can shield and shelter from his malice and his wiles those who have always continued with her, but winning back from his dominion those whom for a while she has lost, and he had won; daring the strong man in his own stronghold, and, ...

The Appeal for Unity represents the culmination of a long, arduous journey towards my Master of Divinity Degree from Payne Theological Seminary. From the moment that I place my feet on that historic institution, my mind was on bringing unity to the Church of God and Saints of Christ faith community by returning to the legacy and work of Bishop William Saunders Crowdy. So, this book achieves that purpose, namely, to focus on the founder’s life and thought to highlight his integrity and influence that might serve as a model against the schisms currently plaguing the church. It is my prayer ...

An increasing number of Americans know a person that belongs to our faith. This leads them to ask themselves, "How could an intelligent person believe such things?" This book is an attempt to get you to understand the mind and heart of a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Who is St. Philomena? Pope Gregory XVI referred to her as the “wonder-worker” of the nineteenth century. Bl. 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 ...

Since the beginning of the earth, all of the Lord's prophets have looked with longing toward the end times, when the many promises of the Lord would be fulfilled and the Kingdom of God would finally be established upon the earth. With a larger canon than most religions, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have access to a great many doctrines regarding this topic. 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?...

The first mention of the name Lison is from 996. Lison is a small fraction of the town of Portogruaro, in the province of Venice. The church was built in 1566. It was consecrated on June 24, 1565. There are invaluable historical artifacts: three marble arches with Greek epigraphs. The arches were made in Constantinople, between the 5th and the 6th centuries. The audio guide was made by experts in the field of history and art.

The Bible uses the word Christian to describe followers of Jesus a grand total of three times. But there's another identifier that fills the pages of the New Testament - a word we've mistakenly reserved for the halo-wearing elite, losing something profound in the process: saints. Wrapped in this ancient word is a divine invitation to discover who God created you to be and awaken to the life you were meant to know. Using Scripture and stories from his own experience, Addison Bevere makes a compelling case that the life you desire is found in the mystery of this sacred identity.

He's become a workaholic, at least that's what his parents believe. They want him to stop, and prove to them he can have a life outside of work. No promotions until he makes it happen. Well they can't dispute he has a life outside of work if he gets married... She's put her entire life into her career. But as she sees that she's the last single one of the family, and everyone looks incredibly happy, she realizes it's time for a life outside of work. But who has time for dating? Certainly not her. So the matchmaker all her siblings used is her best bet.

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 ...

She was relentlessly teased in high school. Then the worst happened, and left serious scars behind. She's not sure she can ever get past them, but has to try. She can't stay lonely forever. No one wants to grow old as the crazy cat lady, after all. He had a rough childhood, and made some really bad decisions back then. Decisions he really regrets now. But when the biggest regret of all walks back into his life, can he find a way to fix it?

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! What is she thinking? Maybe her best friend is right, she should let a professional do the setting up instead. Then maybe her mother will stop. He thought his sister and her best friend were crazy, but look at them. They're so incredibly happy, still. Maybe this matchmaker does know what she's doing. It would be so easy to have her bring him his perfect match. Dare he try it?

She's been hurt, lost her first love. Will she ever be able to find love again? Will Willow be able to help her find a second love? He's been single a long time, waiting for the right woman to come along. Will he be able to be enough for Kari? Will she be able to love him like she loved before? And when tragedy strikes, will it push them together, or scare him off?

He has no family left, they all died. Then he goes to his best friend's wedding. His best friend's new bride has twin sisters, and he hurt them. He made it right, he fixed his mistake. But now he can't get them out of his head. He made a promise, he has to leave them alone unless it's permanent. How can he know which is meant for him? Is one of them his future wife? How do you know if you can't date them?

She did it, she's made all her career goals. Now it's time to find a husband, finally. The matchmaker worked for her bestie, it'll work for her, too. Right? He's so tired of dating, he could just scream. how many girlfriends will it take to finally find the one that'll stick? There's got to be a better way. Maybe a matchmaker will do the trick, it's worth a try at least. But when things get scary, will he stick it out or run scared?

She's got to get away from here, far away. She loves her daddy, but just can't handle her father's views on women a minute longer. She's following her sister's example and calling the matchmaker. Hopefully her match will live far away from here. He's searched the islands for a wife, and none of them feel right. He's tired of looking, and turns to a matchmaker. Hopefully she'll find him the perfect match to create an ohana with. Ohana is everything, and he needs the perfect bride to help him start his.
