This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the difference between something being true and something being an eternal truth? This question has led many faithful members of the Church to be deceived by the semblances of the world into denying the truths that transcend our mortal experiences. In every aspect of life-babies, bodies, marriage, and more-there are thousands of ways we can be misled by society's standards of "true" instead of embracing the truth. Drawing from the words of God and His appointed leaders as well as personal experience, Church educator and historian Ronald Bartholomew describes how members of the Church can learn to see the difference by increasing their spirituality. With this enlightening guide to seeking and interpreting revelation, you will discover how to • identify and ignore Satan's subtle lies about normal, everyday things. • hear and follow God's will for your life without distractions. • gently coach your loved ones toward eternal truths. When you can reliably disregard the "more or less true" in favor of God's truth, you will gain a deeper understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which will enrich your testimony of the Church and strengthen your bond with the Holy Spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leo is a shy, studious, quiet ten-year-old boy who lives with his brother and mom on Lakeside Drive. His puzzling dreams are the first indication that something unusual is about to take place in his quiet and friendly neighborhood. When he sees the mysterious symbol from his dreams hung on the inside of the front door of his home, he realizes that things out of his dreams have begun to appear while he is wide awake. The dark-clad strangers who captured his brother, Blaine, and took him to the smoke- and stench-filled building of his dreams are now real and chasing him and his friends through the fields and streets of his neighborhood. An explosion rocks the street where they live and brings a shocking death to two kids when Leo and his friends are forced into an empty home and threatened at knifepoint by the leader of a gang of teens. Leo and his best friend, Amanda, search the library for ancient texts for reasons why he has been singled out by the Nephi. The Nephi at first appears to be just a tall teenager, but in dreams, he is revealed to be something far more sinister, who is trying to draw others into the enticing darkness that has already captured the gang of teens. A magnificent winged creature from his dreams tells Leo he has been chosen to see these mysteries. The Nephi must be stopped, but he doesnt realize he is the one picked to defeat him. What he also has yet to discover is that the Lion-horses and giants of his dreams are real and only the beginning lessons in his spiritual journey and the training that has been started for him.

Download or read book The Testimony of Two Nations written by Michael Austin and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the Book of Mormon on its own terms and through its two-way connection with the Bible Like the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Bible, the Book of Mormon uses narratives to develop ideas and present instruction. Michael Austin reveals how the Book of Mormon connects itself to narratives in the Christian Bible with many of the same tools that the New Testament used to connect itself to the Hebrew Bible to create the Christian Bible. As Austin shows, the canonical context for interpreting the Book of Mormon includes the Christian Bible, the Book of Mormon itself, and other writings and revelations that hold scriptural status in most Restoration denominations. Austin pays particular attention to how the Book of Mormon connects itself to the Christian Bible both to form a new canon and to use the canonical relationship to reframe and reinterpret biblical narratives. This canonical context provides an important and fruitful method for interpreting the Book of Mormon.

Download or read book Understanding the Book of Mormon written by Grant Hardy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain once derided the Book of Mormon as "chloroform in print." Long and complicated, written in the language of the King James version of the Bible, it boggles the minds of many. Yet it is unquestionably one of the most influential books ever written. With over 140 million copies in print, it is a central text of one of the largest and fastest-growing faiths in the world. And, Grant Hardy shows, it's far from the coma-inducing doorstop caricatured by Twain. In Understanding the Book of Mormon, Hardy offers the first comprehensive analysis of the work's narrative structure in its 180 year history. Unlike virtually all other recent world scriptures, the Book of Mormon presents itself as an integrated narrative rather than a series of doctrinal expositions, moral injunctions, or devotional hymns. Hardy takes readers through its characters, events, and ideas, as he explores the story and its messages. He identifies the book's literary techniques, such as characterization, embedded documents, allusions, and parallel narratives. Whether Joseph Smith is regarded as author or translator, it's noteworthy that he never speaks in his own voice; rather, he mediates nearly everything through the narrators Nephi, Mormon, and Moroni. Hardy shows how each has a distinctive voice, and all are woven into an integral whole. As with any scripture, the contending views of the Book of Mormon can seem irreconcilable. For believers, it is an actual historical document, transmitted from ancient America. For nonbelievers, it is the work of a nineteenth-century farmer from upstate New York. Hardy transcends this intractable conflict by offering a literary approach, one appropriate to both history and fiction. Regardless of whether readers are interested in American history, literature, comparative religion, or even salvation, he writes, the book can best be read if we examine the text on its own terms.

Download or read book Isaiah in the Book of Mormon written by Donald W. Parry and published by Maxwell Institute. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Isaiah' prophetic writings, the resurrected Lord taught, "Search these things diligently; for great are the words of Isaiah" (3 Nephi 32:1). Yet no chapters in the Book of Mormon are more difficult to understand than the Isaiah passages quoted by Nephi, Jacob, Abinadi, and Christ himself. The 17 essays in Isaiah in the Book of Mormon take a variety of approaches in seeking to help readers make the most of Isaiah's teachings. The contributing scholars draw on the Book of Mormon prophets as knowledgeable guides, examining how and why those ancient writers used and interpreted Isaiah's prophetic teachings. They explain Nephi's keys for understanding the great prophet, use historical and linguistic information to clarify his meanings, examine recurring themes, and reflect on the influence of these texts on ancient and modern saints.

Download or read book Miriam written by Sam Richardson and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jerusalem in 600 BC, Miriam is betrothed to Zoram, her lifelong love. He disappears on the same night that his master is murdered under mysterious circumstances, and Miriam is left confused and alone. In an effort to bring Zoram out of hiding, officials announce the eventual stoning of Miriam, calling her an accomplice. She is to be abused and tormented but not until dead, for the officials need incentive to draw out her betrothed. There is one thing that could save her, though: marriage to the odious Murdus, who holds her life in his hands. She refuses, and when Zoram never returns, Miriam is left to face death while wondering if she’ll ever uncover the truth behind Zoram’s permanent disappearance. Miriam is an inspiring story of a woman from Jerusalem who strives to take charge of her own life when faced with danger, death, and injustice. Underlying this dilemma is a story steeped in acts of pride, jealousy, and—ultimately—the power that forgiveness brings. Miriam’s fictional story is based on a setting in the Book of Mormon, a canon in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “Very believable. Miriam was easy and fun to read. I read it in less than a day.” —Eva Bentley, Doctrinal Scholar “Hard to put down; well thought out; a very good read. Very plausible and logical in relating to the events as they were recorded. I liked the flavor, the narrative, the research. It had a feel of genuineness to it.” —Owen H. Richardson, Author and Artist

Download or read book A Word in Season written by Joseph M. Spencer and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at the relationship between two sacred texts The Book of Mormon’s narrative privileges Isaiah over other sources, provocatively interpreting and at times inventively reworking the biblical text. Joseph M. Spencer sees within the Book of Mormon a programmatic investigation regarding the meaning and relevance of the Book of Isaiah in a world increasingly removed from the context of the times that produced it. Working from the crossroads of reception studies and Mormon studies, Spencer investigates and clarifies the Book of Mormon’s questions about the vitality of Isaiah’s prophetic project. Spencer’s analysis focuses on the Book of Mormon’s three interactions with the prophet: the character of Abinadi; the resurrected Jesus Christ; and the nation-founding figure of Nephi. Working from the Book of Mormon as it was dictated, Spencer details its vital and overlooked place in Isaiah’s reception while recognizing the interpretation of Isaiah as an organizing force behind the Book of Mormon.
