Los populachos amenazan con expulsarlos de sus hogares, por lo que miles de Santos de los Últimos Días huyen de Nauvoo, su lugar de recogimiento durante los últimos siete años. Guiados por Brigham Young y el Cuórum de los Doce Apóstoles, viajan hacia el oeste a través de praderas y llanuras, confiando en que Dios les preparará un lugar donde establecerse más allá de las cumbres de las Montañas Rocosas. Encontrar un nuevo hogar es solo el comienzo de la historia.

Daughter Zion avoids the extremes of ignoring the biblical foundation for Marian doctrine on the one hand and fundamentalistic proof-texting on the other. Instead, the author beautifully and lucidly develops key biblical themes to help listeners understand and appreciate the mother of God.

My soul bleeds, so I wrote this book. It's a fictional tale about a man who watches his church life slowly turn toxic, and how people can slowly turn off-beam, and the gnawing pain that follows,including martial seperation. It's a fictionalized account of my three decades of experience of dealing with difficulties, and about the repeated times when I have had to confront local leadership about local aberrations. I'm not sure if it is a fairy tale, a horror story, or a tragedy. Certainly it is tragicomic, but that is not something we should be associating with church service. Read the book, ...

They weren’t getting it for nothing. Things with the family are starting to get better, ...

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?

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 ...

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 ...
