From the publisher: This new and authoritative history of the Latter-day Saints ranges over every aspect of Mormon life in 19th and 20th centuries. Based on recent scholarly research and documents lately made available by church authorities. The Mormon Experience traces the rise and success of this extraordinary religious movement, from its origins 150 years ago to the present day. Beginning with the early experiences of founder Joseph Smith, here is the turbulent 19th century sage of the Saints, including their persecution ni the Midwest, the great rek to Utah, where Brigham Young established a new community in the mountains and deserts, the struggles with the federal government, their important contribution to the settlement of the American West, and the conflict over polygamy. The book also reveals how Mormonism made its way into the 20th century and takes up themes not treated in previous general histories of the church - the role of women, the Mormon ward, the Mormon group character, the attitude toward blacks. And it deals forthrightly with such controversial subjects as the authenticity of the Book of Mormon, the early life of Joseph Smith . more information

From the publisher: The largest selling, most widely used edition of the Gita in the western world. Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Sri Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, to His intimate devotee Arnjuna, the Gita's 700 concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self-realization. Indeed, there is no work even comparable in its revelations of man's essential nature, his environment and, ultimately, his relationship with God. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters beginning with Lord Krsna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is - without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. Replete with sixteen full-color plates, this new edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten any reader with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message. . more information

From the higherpraise website on the greatest preachers: JEREMIAH MCAULEY, 1839 - 1884, missionary, born in Ireland in 1839; died in New York city, 18 September 1884. At the age of thirteen he was sent to a married sister in New York city, and assisted her husband in his business, but, forming vicious associations, left them soon, and lived in Water street, where he became a thief and a prize-fighter. At the age of nineteen he was arrested for highway robbery, and, although innocent of the charge, was convict ed and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment.

When reduced to poverty, he found a friend in a missionary, who aided him to find work, and reawakened his religious convictions. After repeated relapses, he entered the Methodist church, and in October 1872, opened a mission called the "Helping Hand" in Water street. He was very successful in arousing religious feelings in the degraded, assisted by his wife, MARIA, who had been his companion in vice.

Thousand Oaks, CA: Artisan Sales. Very Good. 2002. Soft Cover. 0934666563 . 123 pages, pictorial wrappers, very good. 2002 edition, 1st printing. From the publisher: World Renown Biblical Archeologist And Historian. Mr. Capt's latest book takes up the controversial and timely subject of end-times prophecy. The book is an edifying, analytical commentary on the exhortations of Christ to His disciples on Mount Olive. Mr. Capt gives us his thoughts on the meaning of Christ's words to his disciples as he responds to their questions and concerns, regarding what the future held, and what it would be like at the end-times, or "Last Days." So many books have been written on this subject - - many based on wild speculation and fantasy; and now Hollywood has gotten into the act with it's own brand of exploitation and promotion. It seems there is no limit to what man can imagine the future will be like when that period known as the "Last Days" and "Left Behind" is upon us. Capt's thoughtful analysis of the actual meaning of Christ's words regarding future events, and the period in history when much of it would take place, throws a different light on the subject. Olivet Prophecies will make the reader get out his Bible and re-read those passages. Subjects dealt with are the Rapture, USA in Prophecy, Kingdom of God, restitution of all things, and endtime prophecy. E. Raymond Capt's Olivet Prophecies is a book that could forever change the way you think about the "Last Days." . more information
