THE SEER OF PALMYRA, Reflections Of The First Vision defines what is a prophet, seer and revelator. The importance of a modern prophet is established. This includes the spiritual and historic legacy of Joseph Smith and his family and the religious environment at Palmyra and in upstate New York. The reasons why JosephÔøΩs vision and early persecutions are not found in the Palmyra Register newspaper of the 1820s are discussed. Research in the 21st century shows contemporary religious revivals were mentioned in that local paper. The Benaijah Williams diaries of that time period also support Joseph Smith's claims of religious revival. The Book of Enoch and U.S. Army weather records may help pinpoint the actual date of the First Vision. Each of the eleven primary accounts in fourteen documents of the Prophet Joseph Smith's First Vision of 1820 are identified and investigated from historical, cultural and doctrinal viewpoints. The harmony and contemporary witnesses of the different accounts are also considered. These reflections from the First Vision continue to shine their light by taking us briefly from the First Vision itself to Joseph Smith becoming a seer and using his seer stones and the Urim and Thummim.

Award-winning speaker and best-selling author Al Carraway presents an in-depth study of the life of Jesus Christ and how it relates to our own in an intimate and personal way. Written by someone who truly knows God, Finding Yourself in the New Testament skillfully and sincerely introduces its readers to the Savior and shows them who and what He really is. Not only does it illustrate how deeply involved God is in the lives of His children, but it also provides an excellent guide to the history, culture, and context of ancient Israel and the Jewish religion. Drawing directly from the four Gospels of the New Testament, this book will lead you to the Being who can give you the power to change; the God "who goes to the hated, the forgotten, the different, the outcast, the sinner, and the excommunicated and befriends them; the God who calls them to great things and blesses and loves them; the God who forgives in the act, reaches for those sinking, and stops for those buried in the crowd or alone in the heat of the day." See yourself in every aspect of the Savior's ministry and in the lives of the people He blessed. Understand that Jesus Christ truly did come that we might have life-and all else-more abundantly.

Scholars and believers alike often ask difficult questions regarding God's formal dealings with mankind: - Why did God work through prophets anciently, through Christ Himself when He was on the earth, and through His apostles after His death but then suddenly end the prophetic voice? - How can God be the same yesterday, today, and forever if He so radically changed His approach to guiding His children? - What happened to the original, clear message delivered from God to Adam after the Fall regarding the principles, practices, and rites required of His children? - If God's complete, error-free plan still exists, how would we know, and how is it possible for humanity to decipher such a plan, given the numerous avenues available to worship our Creator? Where Have All the Prophets Gone? explores these issues by looking at the core practices and texts that reveal both the origins and the path traveled by early Christianity. With a critical but refreshingly open eye, the author identifies the current "state of the kingdom" and opens the window on a unique hope that God is indeed constant in both His love and His methods. Scott Petersen joins a growing list of Christian writers who are looking carefully at the enormous treasure of early Christian writings now available in English. However, few of these writers have scoured this collection as thoroughly and carefully as he has. Noel B. Reynolds, Ph.D., Executive Director, Institute for the Study and Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts Scott Petersen's Where Have All the Prophets Gone? is the result of painstaking and careful research from many original and secondary sources. Petersen has done an important work by opening the history of Christianity for our understanding and showing the implications of that history for us today. James Faulconer, Professor of Philosophy, Brigham Young University Scott Petersen has approached an old topic with new eyes, adding wonderful insights into Judeo-Christian religious history from Old Testament through modern times, written from a faith-based perspective.

God strongly condemns any form of abuse. In recent years, the struggles of Latter-day Saints in abusive relationships have made national headlines. The media attention has highlighted a deeply unfortunate perception: many Latter-day Saints fear that by choosing to leave an abusive relationship, they are at risk of breaking their covenants with God. Mental health professionals and law enforcement officers who work with Latter-day Saint populations attest to the number of people who continue to be hurt, humiliated, and even killed because they believe it is their religious obligation to endure abuse to the end. This damaging misperception, and the traditions that have helped create and maintain it, must be corrected. With a direct and straightforward discussion of the doctrines and teachings about abuse, this book not only provides clear guidance for bishops and other local leaders on how to respond to abuse, but it will also help you discover God's true feelings about abuse and the love He has for all who suffer. Learn to identify the signs of abuse in your own relationships and in others. Overcome roadblocks that may be hindering escape from an abusive situation. Follow the path of healing in mind, body, and spirit.

Abraham Lincoln and Donald Trump are two of a kind, despite terms in office separated by more than a century. Both encountered a biased press and deeply divisive political environments after being elected with less than 50 percent of the popular vote. Each was viewed as an ill-equipped outlier and accompanied to office by first ladies ostracized by Washington's elite. Lincoln was known by those closest to him for his supreme self-confidence, inexhaustible ambition, mean streak, braggadocio, arrogance, vanity, and knack for thriving amid conflict. The same can be said for Trump, who can be better understood through the many parallels linking him to Lincoln. Born to Fight is the calm in the storm (or the fan for the flame). It dares bring together two apparent polar opposites, drag them through the harsh acumen of history and public perception, and lay them open to reveal two political icons amazingly alike. Evident on hundreds of levels, including the turbulent times they governed, Lincoln and our 45th President are revealed with such startling resemblance and clarity to spark renewed or even novel appreciation for these deceptively kindred American originals.
