Book excerpt: If you are a Mormon or thinking of becoming one, then this book was written for you. If you have family or friends who are Mormon or even contemplating Mormonism, then you need to give them this book. Within these pages the reader is taken on a spiritual journey through the history of Mormonism, particularly the early tumultuous days of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.The author has thoroughly researched the early beginnings of the LDS Church and its founding prophets. From old newspapers, military and government reports, diaries and first-hand accounts the author has gleaned many little-known facts and assembled them into a fascinating account of the violent and incredible birth and growth of the Mormon Church of the 1800s. This writing, while brutally honest, is also both loving and kind. This is not an anti-Mormon rant, but a thoughtful analysis of Mormonism in the light of the Holy Bible and historic Christian doctrine.This book is a fascinating page-turner which brings to light the real reason the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith was killed, how Brigham Young succeeded him as prophet and what led to the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre. This book's description of the fierce battle between the Mormon army and the militias of Illinois, set against the background of murder and rage surrounding the Mormon community of Nauvoo, makes this book anything but a dry theological treatise.The life and times of the Mormon prophets are examined according to the prescription given in the Holy Bible for testing prophets. The doctrines and practices of Mormonism are considered in the light of Jesus' teachings. The author's conclusion challenges Mormons to reconsider the foundations of their faith, while encouraging them towards a closer walk with the Jesus of the Holy Bible.

Download or read book Pilgrimage written by Peter Stanford and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thought-provoking reflection on the practice and history of pilgrimage, and a compelling exploration of its relevance today. Pilgrimage, a global ritual embraced by nearly all faiths, is one of civilization’s most enduring traditions. In this compelling book, author and journalist Peter Stanford reflects on the reasons people have walked along the same sacred paths through the ages. Through this history, Stanford explores how the experiences of the first pilgrims to Jerusalem, Mecca, and Santiago de Compostela compare to the millions of people who embark on life-changing physical and spiritual journeys today. Pilgrimage traverses sacred landscapes around the world, from the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City to the monolithic rock-cut churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia and the riverbanks of the Kumbh Mela in India. Stanford explores the historical and spiritual significance of these places of healing and reflection and discusses their roles as crossroads., Although pilgrimage is usually viewed as an individual’s escape from the everyday to refocus the mind and soul, institutional and national struggles for power have always had an impact on the way pilgrims experience their own personal journey. Guiding readers through the global history of pilgrimage, this thought- provoking book educates a new generation that may seek solace, clarity, and wonder by following in the footsteps of travelers from the past.
