As a young man he memorized vast portions of Shakespeare and studied Old English, Latin Greek and other languages. As a student at Berkeley, he began reading the southwest corner of the ninth level of the library and worked his way down to the northeast corner of the first level, studying every significant book that caught his eye. And throughout his life, he has related everything he has learned to the greatest knowledge of all-the word of the Lord, as revealed in the scriptures and in the temple. Not content with that, however, Dr. Nibley has dedicated himself to being a teacher, to sharing with others the knowledge he has gleaned through his vast studies. He has lectured and published widely, producing more than three hundred papers and books on a wide variety of subjects. Old Testament and Related Studies is the first volume in The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, published by Deseret Book Company and the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies. This collection of papers and lectures, many of which have never been published, includes papers on the earth before Adam, the historicity of the Bible, archaeology and religion, myths and the scriptures, patriarchy and matriarchy, apocryphal works, the message of Isaiah, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Qumran community, and other subjects, all in Dr. Nibley's fascinating and inimitable style. Old Testament and Related Studies, which was complied and edited by John W. Welch, Gary P. Gillum, and Don E. Norton, will be enjoyed by students of the Old Testament, gospel scholars, and history buffs — indeed, by anyone who desires to \"Seek learning, even by study and also by faith.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608125567242,"sku":"1111744","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/9090\/1514\/files\/Firefly_gpt-image_create_an_athetic_background_for_this_hardback_book_on_a_blanket_850721_8.png?v=1788874976"},{"product_id":"collected-works-of-hugh-nibley-vol-10-the-ancient-state","title":"Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Vol. 10","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eby Hugh Nibley\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ancient State - One important key to understanding modern civilization is a familiarity with its ancient background. Many modern principles and practices — social, political, and even economic — have cleared parallels and antiquity. A careful study of these forerunners of our traditions, particularity as they contributed to the downfall of earlier civilizations, may help us avoid some of the mistakes of our predecessors. The Ancient State, by Hugh Nibley, is a thought-provoking examination of aspects of ancient culture, from the use of marked arrows to the surprisingly universal conception of kinship, from argument from various schools of philosophy to the rise of rhetoric. Author Hugh Nibley brings his usual meticulous research and scholarship to bear in this enlightening collection of essays and lectures. It has been said that only by learning the lessons of history can we hope to avoid repeating them.

In 1968-1970, Hugh Nibley wrote a series of articles for the Improvement Era titled \"A New Look at the Pearl of Great Price.\" Brother Nibley asked that some of these articles be made into chapters to be added to Abraham in Egypt. This is what constitutes the new edition; no changes were made to the original chapters. For the articles, Nibley drew from many Jewish and rabbinical sources, while his work in the first edition was based on Egyptian material. This book defends the Book of Abraham against the critics, showing the similarities between ancient sources and the Book of Abraham.

Since then, the terms “tinkling cymbals” and “sounding brass” have often been used to signify words of emptiness and confusion — describing perfectly most writings critical of the Latter-day Saints. Trained in history and interested in classical rhetoric, Hugh Nibley brings a broad perspective to his study of anti-Mormon writings. Included in this volume are: No Ma'am, that's Not History Censoring the Joseph Smith Story The Myth Makers Sounding Brass In all these works, Nibley explains and defends the life and teachings of the prophets. His skill at recognizing and dissecting flawed arguments allows him to separate the chaff from the wheat. He knows the scriptures. He knows that Joseph's name would be known for good and evil, but he has clearly chosen to be numbered among those who sought counsel from the Prophet.

The series called \"Time Vindicates the Prophets,\" was given in answer to those who were challenging the right of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to call themselves Christians. Just as the Church's beliefs and institutions were under attack when these lectures were first given, so today's critics are again attacking the Latter-day Saints' conception of God, their claim to continuous revelation, their belief in Joseph Smith as a prophet of God, their acceptance of the Book of Mormon as a true record, and their insistence that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church of Jesus Christ. The answers given by professor Nibley then are a valid today as they are timely. Dr. Nibley writes: \"We make no attempt to argue out the position of the Church... Here we are simply indicating briefly that for better or worse, the Mormons consistently find themselves in a company of ancient Saints and, accordingly far removed from the ways of conventional Christians... It is an historical, not a theological or philosophical, vindication of our prophets.\" But Professor Nibley does far more than point out identities of doctrines, practices, and institutions between Latter-day Saints and Christians. He also describes with great clarity how the Church changed from an organization with inspired prophets into a thoroughly different and alien institution built upon the learning of men. He shows how prophecy was replaced with self-induced mystical experience, and how the magical wonder-making of the pagans was substituted for the gifts of the spirit. The World and the Prophets demonstrates that the whole philosophical theological enterprise, however well intended, is incompatible with the existence of continuing revelation. As Joseph Smith wrote, \"Persecutions may rage, mobs may continue, armies may assemble, calumny may defame,\" but there will always be an unbridgeable gap between the world and the prophets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608125927690,"sku":"1320707","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/9090\/1514\/files\/Firefly_gpt-image_create_an_athetic_background_for_this_hardback_book_on_a_blanket_850721_3_1ac1e373-27ce-4ec2-a3a4-fd5d051a6f34.png?v=1788877058"},{"product_id":"collected-works-of-hugh-nibley-vol-15-apostles-and-bishops-in-early-christianity","title":"Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Vol. 15","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eby Hugh Nibley\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApostles and Bishops in Early Christianity - Much can be learned from the New Testament and other early Christian sources about the powers, duties, and desired attributes of those who originally held the offices of apostle and bishop.

Since that time, however, numerous ancient records have come to light, including the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi texts. These discoveries have forced scholars to change their views of history, and they place the Book of Mormon in a new light as well.That is why respected Latter-day Saint scholar Hugh Nibley wrote Since Cumorah, a brilliant literary, theological, and historical evaluation of the Book of Mormon as an ancient book. Drawing upon a multitude of Hebrew, Coptic, and early Christian texts, Dr. Nibley looks at both the background and the text of the Book of Mormon. He compares the Book of Mormon with the Bible, the Apocrypha, and the records of the primitive church and related or apostate groups. He examines its philologically; that is, he examines its language and literature and their relationship. He deals with a number of scientific questions that it poses. Historically, he covers major events, such as the great earthquake; prophetic figures, such as Zenos; and wars, especially during the military career of Moroni. Finally, he discusses the Book of Mormon as prophecy: its themes, warnings, and promises.Since Cumorah has become, since its first printing, a standard in Book of Mormon scholarship. In this new edition, the text and notes have been checked and reedited, and the editors have restored substantial blocks of material published in the magazine version of this work but not included in the first edition of the book.Although Dr. Nibley stresses that our knowledge of the ancient world will remain forever tentative, he shows that the book once ridiculed by scholars has a right to be taken seriously and to be reevaluated in light of the documents discovered since the publication of the Book of Mormon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608126058762,"sku":"1539733","price":45.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/9090\/1514\/files\/1539733_Hugh_Nibley_V7_Cover.jpg?v=1788875139"},{"product_id":"collected-works-of-hugh-nibley-vol-9-approaching-zion","title":"Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Vol. 9","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eby Hugh Nibley\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproaching Zion - Approaching Zion is LDS scholar and social critic Hugh Nibley's most popular book.

The authors use three broad content areas—the things we each need to do personally to improve our marriage (me), the things we need to do together as a couple to strengthen our marital relationship (we), and ways we can more fully involve God in our marriage relationship (Thee). This three-part approach is both theoretical and practical and will help guide readers to a successful and happy marriage. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608127500554,"sku":"5198510","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/9090\/1514\/files\/Firefly_gpt-image_createanatheticbackgroundforthishardbackbookproppeduponacoffeetablewith850721_2.png?v=1788866407"},{"product_id":"compassion-the-great-healers-art-by-ulisses-soares-audio-cd","title":"Compassion","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Great Healer's Art \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eby Ulisses Soares\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout His life, the Savior showed an unlimited capacity for compassion as He blessed, lifted, and healed people wherever He went. His focus was to love and serve everyone around Him, then and now. Both through His treatment of others and through the loving gifts that He has provided us to guide us back to Him, Christ continually demonstrates compassion for each of God’s children and invites us to do the same. In Compassion: The Great Healer’s Art, Elder Ulisses Soares teaches that just as the Savior is there for us when we seek relief from the pains of this life, He asks us to be His hands, feet, eyes, and ears and to do the things He has done: bear one another’s burdens, comfort those in need of comfort, mourn with those who mourn, feed the hungry, visit the sick, succor the weak, lift up the hands that hang down. Elder Soares teaches, “We each have the opportunity to come unto the Savior and receive the divine compassion that is so needed in our world. As we partake of the gifts the Savior has offered us, we are better able to share His compassion with those around us.” When we practice compassion for others, we practice the Great Healer’s art, sealing up wounds and divisions that might otherwise fester and injure. As we plead for the gifts of charity and compassion and strive to become like Him, we too can bless, lift, and heal those around us. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":52608127697162,"sku":"6015696","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Audiobook (CD)","offer_id":52608127729930,"sku":"6016965","price":29.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/9090\/1514\/files\/P6015696_P6015696_none_base_e0ed9dc9.jpg?v=1788864056"},{"product_id":"daughters-of-god-scriptural-portraits-wilcox","title":"Daughters Of God Scriptural Portraits","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScriptural Portraits\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBy Wilcox \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Eve to Emma, the influence of women in the scriptures has been felt through the generations.

How can we strengthen our faith and deepen our testimony to the point that we can endure whatever life holds in store for us and emerge stronger than before? In this unique book, Gerald N. Lund shows how having a correct idea of God's character, perfections, and attributes is essential to our ability to strengthen our faith and develop our testimony.He also reminds us of how much God loves His children and that He “delights” to bless us, especially when we are striving to do His will. As and example, Elder Lund introduces the idea of a divine signature: “Sometimes blessings come in such an unusual manner and with such precise timing that they accomplish something in addition to blessing us. They so clearly confirm the reality of God's existence that they buoy us up in times of trials.”Throughout the book, Elder Lund relates story after story — some from Church history, some from his own life, and some from acquaintances — that illustrate the inspiring and life-changing insights he shares.This book is a powerful blend of personal reflection and deep doctrine that will help us identify the tender mercies and “divine signatures” that abound in our own lives and which will lead us closer to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608142508298,"sku":"6076904","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/9090\/1514\/files\/Firefly_GeminiFlash_createandastheticbackgroundforthispaperbackbookonablanketwiththebookin296004.png?v=1788349544"},{"product_id":"enoch-letters-maxwell","title":"Enoch Letters","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eby Neal A.

Into the Flames, the sixth and final installment of Gerald N. Lund's Fire and Steel series, brings new experiences, new challenges, new opportunities, and not a few tragedies into the lives of the Eckhardt and Westland families. In America, Mitch and Edie continue their struggle to hang on to the ranch that has been their family's home for nearly fifty years, while Benji's quest to find work turns catastrophic and sets him on a new path that will take him to exotic climes and an unexpected reunion. in Germany, Hans makes a dangerous, life-changing decision to leave Nazi Party leadership and seek a new career. But when the ugly specter of anti-Semitism wields a direct and devastating impact on the Eckhardt family, they too are drawn into a maelstrom of events that threatens to destroy the very fabric of their lives.

One could leave the Roman capital and travel in a northwesterly direction on well-maintained Roman roads for 1,200 miles. But if one traveled due north, up the long boot of Italia and across the Alps, one quickly reached the northern border of the empire. In the vast lands to the north of the Danube River and to the east of the Rhine lived a collection of tribes so fierce, so warlike, and so incapable of being civilized that eventually the Roman legions fortified the southern border of those lands and left the people alone. Caesar called that unconquerable north land with all of its dozens of tribes Germania. The Germani were not farmers other than having small garden plots cultivated by individual families. They were hunters and warriors. No one owned land as permanent property. Each year the tribal chiefs would assign land to the clans, who then parceled it out to their people. But the next year, everyone was impelled to move to a new place so that the people didn‚Äôt become focused on the land and lose their zeal for war. This also kept them from building permanent shelters against the cold and the heat. Too much comfort weakened the character, they thought. The men generally each had one wife, and adultery was rare. The opinions of women were respected to the point that they often accompanied the men into battle to give them counsel and encouragement. Robbery among their own people was not tolerated, but it was encouraged when it involved outsiders. Often, senior chieftains would lead plundering expeditions to give the young men experience in battle and help them avoid idleness. To the Germani peoples, the highest glory was to lay waste to lands bordering their territory, thus making them uninhabitable. They saw this as proof of their valor. It also kept their borders secure from invasion. The Germani did not keep written records, so not much is known about them from the ensuing centuries. They must have consolidated the tribes to some degree, because when the French King Charlemagne was appointed to be the first ruler of what came to be known as the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Germany was largest group within it. In the minds of Germans ever after, the Holy Roman Empire came to be known as the First German Reich. The Protestant Reformation and the Thirty Years‚Äô War After Charlemagne‚Äôs death, the empire limped along for centuries, almost dissolving due to the weak leadership of Charlemagne‚Äôs successors. Then in AD 962, Otto I, Duke of Saxony and king of Germany, was crowned emperor by the pope. The former rights held by the Roman Caesars now rested in German hands. Otto immediately set about to unify the Germanic tribes under the leadership of a central government. However, the fiercely independent spirit that had kept the Germani unconquerable for so many centuries was not so easily quelled. Powerful kings and princes were on the rise in other countries. Ruling dynasties brought stability and consistency to their subjects, often over many generations. Not so in Germany. As the centuries came and went, Germany remained a hopelessly fragmented, impossibly crazy patchwork of over 300 separate states. The Protestant Reformation swept across Europe with hurricane force beginning with Martin Luther nailing his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. But Luther‚Äôs impact on Germany went far beyond his Protestant vision of Christianity. His German Bible provided a standardized language for the people and became a powerful unifying influence. His doctrines of the freedom of individual conscience electrified the people and changed the culture profoundly. People were motivated to study and learn for themselves. Literacy rates increased. The arts and commerce thrived. Prosperity rose. Many of the Protestant German princes extended new freedoms to their people. A new sense of German pride and German nationalism began to develop. Inevitably, the Reformation also brought war. These were considered issues of eternal consequence. The divisions became so bitter and acrimonious that both sides took up the sword to defend their faith. Rulers all across Europe were forced to decide where they stood. Soon all of Europe was divided into two major religious camps. About a hundred years after Martin Luther‚Äôs bold action, one of the most devastating of the religious wars began. In this case it was not solely about religion. Competing dynasties were jockeying for power. Savage war raged across Europe off and on for three decades, earning the conflict the name the Thirty Years‚Äô War. Germany lay right in the center of the conflict and was hit the hardest. Entire regions were utterly devastated. Thousands of towns and villages were destroyed. One-third of the population was lost to war, famine, disease, or being hauled off as slaves. In the end, the Thirty Years‚Äô War virtually snuffed out every sign of the surge in culture, learning, arts, and commerce that had resulted from the Reformation. The Germany that was rapidly becoming one of the fountains of European civilization disappeared as a tidal wave of barbarism returned. Civilization came to a standstill in Germany while the rest of Europe moved forward into the new age. In these circumstances, it is not surprising that the German character became ingrained with a fatalistic acceptance of tyranny, autocratic and capricious rule, and suppression of law and human rights. Close The strongest steel is forged in the hottest flames. From master storyteller Gerald N. Lund comes a new blockbuster series chronicling the lives of two families who will face some of the most turbulent times in history as they are tried to their very cores. Will they be tempered and strengthened by the hammering blows, will they bend to the point of breaking, or will they completely shatter? As volume one begins, life could not be more promising for the Eckhardts. They finally have a son, Hans, the male heir they have longed for and a child of such brilliance and promise that his success seems certain. But as youthful Hans‚Äôs ambition takes him away from his family and their small Bavarian village, the winds of unrest in Europe are about to erupt into the greatest war the world has ever known. Kicking off a story that will cross generations‚Äîand continents‚Äîthe Eckhardts must brace themselves to weather the storms and turmoil that lie ahead. Only through sheer determination and fortitude will they be able to pass through the refiner‚Äôs fire and come out stronger and more united than ever before.

But that is only part of the value of the book. For even readers who do not share certain fundamental tenets of the LDS faith, but who believe in a personal, omnipotent, and omniscient God, will benefit from the Givens’ thoughtful reflections on how such a God enters into the lives of imperfect creatures like ourselves, lighting our paths, lifting us up when we fall, and summoning us to share in His divine life.”\u003cbr\u003e—Robert P.

Let’s Talk about Polygamy, written by historian Brittany Chapman Nash, offers a candid and engaging history of polygamy in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through the voices of those who practiced it. Nash helps readers understand not only the facts and chronological story of polygamy but also the how and why. Why did Latter-day Saints embrace polygamy? How did it work? And what does the history of polygamy mean for Church members today? While outlining the known history of polygamy among the Saints, Nash explores sensitive issues, such as how and why Joseph Smith introduced the practice, his wife Emma Hale Smith’s response to it, and the origins of the plural marriage revelation (today known as Doctrine and Covenants 132). The book also examines how polygamy evolved and affected the Saints in Utah and in the wake of anti-polygamy legislation. The Saints had varying experiences with polygamy—some positive, others not—and through the use of original sources, Nash allows the participants themselves to give voice to the breadth of the Saints’ thoughts and feelings. Though some aspects of the practice of polygamy may never be fully understood, the examples of sacrifice, conviction, and commitment to the gospel from the Saints who practiced it may help readers find understanding and reconciliation and ultimately strengthen their own faith.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608190251274,"sku":"5244297","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/9090\/1514\/files\/Firefly_GeminiFlash_createasoftastheticbackgroundforthissmallpaperbackbookfromabove890011_6.png?v=1786424039"},{"product_id":"mormon-beliefs-and-doctrines-made-easier-david-j-ridges","title":"Mormon Beliefs and Doctrines Made Easier, David J Ridges","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eby.

It served to Smith's followers as a witness of his divine mission and as a foundation of their newfound faith. This volume, the third in the Revelations and Translations series of The Joseph Smith Papers, gives readers unprecedented access to an early Book of Mormon manuscript through full-color photographs, a color-coded transcript, introductions, and reference material. From early April to late June 1829, Joseph Smith dictated the majority of the text of the Book of Mormon. He and other believers explained that Smith translated the Book of Mormon from writings on ancient metal plates to which he had been led by a heavenly messenger. Smith's translation of the plates was not the conventional process of converting text from one language to another through expert knowledge of both languages—instead, he recounted that he dictated the text \"by the gift and power of God.\" With the aid of \"interpreters\" he found buried with the plates and a seer stone already in his possession, Joseph Smith dictated the text to Oliver Cowdery and several other scribes. The manuscript they created is known as the original manuscript. Because of significant water damage suffered in the nineteenth century, less than 30 percent of the original manuscript has survived. Most of it is held by the Church History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City. After the original manuscript was completed and Joseph Smith had secured the services of a printer, Smith directed that a second copy, now known as the printer's manuscript, be created. This would allow the original manuscript to be kept safe while the second copy was taken to the print shop. Oliver Cowdery, Hyrum Smith, and a third, unknown scribe created the printer's manuscript from roughly August 1829 to January 1830, and pages of it were taken in batches to E. B. Grandin's print shop in Palmyra, New York, as printing proceeded. The first edition of the Book of Mormon went on sale in Palmyra on March 26, 1830, and Smith formally organized a church less than two weeks later. The printer's manuscript was consulted again by Joseph Smith and others when the second edition of the Book of Mormon was printed in 1837 in Kirtland\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eOhio. The manuscript was eventually obtained by the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now Community of Christ), headquartered in Independence, Missouri, and it is reproduced here with their generous permission. The carefully preserved manuscript is virtually complete—only three lines of text are missing. This volume of The Joseph Smith Papers provides a facsimile edition of the printer's manuscript of the Book of Mormon. Because of the length of the printer's manuscript, this volume has been split into two parts: Part 1 contains introductory and explanatory materials, the copyright and preface pages of the printer's manuscript, and the text of the Book of Mormon from 1\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eNephi through Alma 35. Part 2 contains the text of the Book of Mormon from Alma 36 through Moroni 10, statements of Book of Mormon witnesses, and reference material, including a chronology, a biographical register, and a table documenting how the printer's manuscript was used in printing the 1830 and 1837 editions of the Book of Mormon. While the volume and document introductions in Part 1 place the printer's manuscript in its historical context, the annotation throughout the volume focuses strictly on textual issues, including identifying significant variants between the printer's manuscript, the original manuscript, and early printed editions. Readers wishing to study the full text will need to consult both Part 1 and Part 2. Designed for those who wish to carefully research the early text of the Book of Mormon and efforts to that book, the transcript in this volume reproduces the printer's manuscript exactly as it appears today. The transcript preserves corrections and revisions of any kind, line and page breaks, and even the locations of interlinear insertions. Since several scribes penned revisions in this manuscript, the handwriting of each is rendered in a different color to facilitate analysis. The photographs included her—the first complete photographic of the printer's manuscript ever published—allow comparison with the transcript and provide details that can never be fully captured in transcription.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col product-headline\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608257229066,"sku":"210000001593","price":89.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"the-joseph-smith-papers-documents-vol-1-july-1828-june-1831-ed-mckaydirkmaatunderstoodwoodfordhartley-pub-date-9-9-13","title":"The Joseph Smith Papers: Vol 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBy Dean C.

When complete, the Documents series will publish more than a thousand documents created, authorized, or owned by Joseph Smith, including each of his revelations in its earliest form, reports of his discourses, and correspondence. Also found in the series are articles and editorials he wrote for newspapers, minutes of meetings in which he participated, and records of his ecclesiastical administration. This first volume of the Documents series consists of documents written from July 1828 to June 1831. Among the contents of this volume are more than five dozen revelations that were presented in the first-person voice of Jesus Christ, including texts later published in the Doctrine and Covenants, the expansive “visions of Moses” (now found in the Pearl of Great Price), and revelations never canonized. In addition, several documents in this volume trace the process of translating and printing the Book of Mormon, as well as early efforts to evangelize using the book and its message. These texts provide the earliest textual insights into Joseph Smith and the founding of what was then called the Church of Christ. They offer glimpses into the religious leader’s thoughts, concerns, and initiatives in a crucial early period of the religious movement he started. This book allows the reader not only to study Joseph Smith but also to gain a greater understanding of his followers and the millenarian movement they participated in during the Second Great Awakening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608257163530,"sku":"210000001445","price":54.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"under-the-cover-of-mercy-rebecca-connolly","title":"Under the Cover of Mercy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eby Rebecca Connolly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e”Christian-and historical-fiction readers alike will devour this fast-paced novel of faith and bravery.”—Booklist Can one nurse on a mission of mercy and rebellion turn the tide of WWI? November 1914 The Great War has come to Brussels, and Edith Cavell, Head Nurse at Berkendael Medical Institute, faces an impossible situation. She has sworn an oath to help any who are wounded, under whatever flag they are found. But Governor von Lüttwitz, the ranking German officer, has ordered her and her nurses to also stand guard over the wounded Allied prisoners of war and prevent them from escaping. Edith feels that God called her to be a healer, not a jailer. How can she heal these broken boys, only to see them returned to the hands of their oppressors to be beaten again? So when members of the Belgian resistance, desperate for help, bring two wounded British soldiers to her hospital in secret, she decides she will heal the soldiers, and then help smuggle them out of the hospital to freedom. With her loyal friend and fellow nurse, Lizzie, by her side, Edith establishes her hospital as a safe house for the resistance, laboring tirelessly to save as many soldiers as she can. Working under the watchful eyes of the German army, Edith faces challenging odds as she fights to bring hope to her small corner of a war-torn world. Based on a true story, Under the Cover of Mercy is the remarkable account of one woman who defied an entire nation in order to heal those who needed her help the most.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608270565642,"sku":"6012630","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/9090\/1514\/files\/Firefly_GeminiFlash_createasoftbackgroundonacoffeetablewiththisbookinthemiddle774423.png?v=1781002425"},{"product_id":"words-matter","title":"Words Matter","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery day, we are bombarded by words—on social media, on television, on billboards, at work, at school—everywhere.
