DOWNLOAD EBOOKI stumbled on this book while walking a book store on a recent trip. I had not heard of the Author but it intrigued me. So I bought it and was captivated by the writing, which is excellent, and also by the content and scriptural references. It is one of the first such books I've been unable to put down in some time. The author takes you through beginning a Disciples journey and knowing if you have a testimony of Christ; then a discussion of love and its place in our trying times and then spiritual growth, reason and faith.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMormonism: A Guide for the Perplexed explains central facets of the Mormon faith and way of life for those wishing to gain a clearer understanding of this rapidly growing world religion. As The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continues to grow in the United States and especially in other countries (with a total membership of over 15 million, more than 50% of which is outside the US), and as theologians and church leaders wrestle with whether Mormonism is in fact a valid expression of modern Christianity, this distinctive religious tradition has become increasingly an object of interest and inquiry. This book is the ideal companion to the study of this perplexing and often misunderstood religion. Covering historical aspects, this guide takes a careful look at the whole of Mormonism, its tenets and practices, as well as providing an insight into a Mormon life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat does it mean to be "truly converted" to Jesus Christ? To "endure to the end"? Mortal life is full of trials and temptations that can challenge our faith and impede our progress to return to our Heavenly Father's presence. It's easy to become discouraged, frustrated, or unmotivated when faced with what can feel like an impossible journey. But it's important to remember that the Lord does not demand or expect perfection in this life. All He asks is that we press forward in His name and find the strength to take the next step. Drawing from the teachings of the Savior, revelation from modern prophets, and personal anecdotes, authors Christopher R. Greenwood and Mark D. Mason guide you through gospel resources to strengthen your resolve and empower your understanding of Christ's Atonement. In Press Forward in Christ, you will • find the strength to continue the struggle toward God even when faced with adversity. • overcome mortal failings and continue forward with your faith intact. • become truly converted in the Lord and willingly accept His guidance. The way may be strait and narrow, but through trust in our Savior's glory and the determination to press forward, we can endure life's challenges faithfully and find lasting, eternal joy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Christopher White's Unsettled Minds makes clear how important new psychologies of religion were for those Protestants navigating their way out of Calvinism and evangelical revivalism. Just as his religious liberals remapped mind and spirit, White has remapped the historical terrain of religion and psychology in American culture. He spotlights not a cultural world absorbed with ecstasy, altered states, or mythic depths, but instead one riveted on measured stages of spiritual growth and effective habits of self-discipline."—Leigh Eric Schmidt, Princeton University "An important contribution to the growing literature on the history of religious experience and of the distinctive dynamics of Christian interiority in the modern U.S."—Robert Orsi, Northwestern University "Today, when brain researchers and psychologists are again attempting to explain religion, this remarkable study suggests that we should not be surprised to see religious believers creatively embracing new scientific findings and making use of them for religious purposes unexpected by scientists."—Ann Taves, author of Fits, Trances, and Visions
