Sinossi

In "A New Witness for God," B. H. Roberts presents a comprehensive exploration of Mormon faith, framed within a rich narrative that combines historical analysis, theological inquiry, and personal testimony. Spanning three volumes, this seminal work offers a meticulous examination of the Latter-day Saint (LDS) movement, its doctrine, and its historical struggles. Roberts employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, incorporating a blend of empirical research and spiritual insight that resonates with both believers and skeptics alike. This extensive analysis not only reflects the context of early 20th-century America but also serves as a pivotal document in the ongoing dialogue about faith, revelation, and historical legitimacy in religious texts. B. H. Roberts, a prominent leader and historian of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a missionary and church elder, which motivated him to defend and articulate the tenets of his faith. His academic background and engagement with contemporary theological debates uniquely positioned him to undertake this ambitious project, seeking both to affirm the divine origins of Mormonism and to illuminate its cultural significance. Readers interested in religious studies, American history, or the intersection of faith and reason will find "A New Witness for God" to be an indispensable resource. Roberts' meticulous scholarship and passionate advocacy offer not only a defense of LDS beliefs but also an invitation to ponder broader questions about spirituality and the nature of truth. This work remains a vital contribution to understanding both the history and the future of faith.

    Making the perfect match is like arranging the perfect bouquet--and no one is better at it than Delphinium Hayes. Except when it comes to making a match for herself. 
 
As far as hidden talents go, she is blessed with one of the more unique ones. With the slightest passing whiff, she knows someone's most admirable or weediest characteristic. This peculiar perception never fails to give her an advantage in understanding people--except for one man, whose scent doesn't seem to match his demeanor. 
 
Prim and proper Elliot Sturgis, director of Moonberry Lake's Gardens Assisted Living and Senior Care Facility, carries the scent of violets--meaning love and loyalty--yet is strict and unwavering in his determination to stop a group of his wily residents from sneaking over to Delphinium's shop to play cards in the flower cooler. But the more glimpses Delphinium gets of the soft side beyond Elliot's harsh exterior, the more she understands his scent--and her intrigue deepens as sparks fly. 
 
The crowd in her cooler isn't Delphinium's only problem. Behind on the mortgage payments and on the verge of losing her shop to foreclosure, Delphinium isn't sure where to turn for help. But God has a funny way of putting the right people in the place at the right time . . .

    Perhaps no other single day in United States history was as threatening to the survival of the nation as August 24, 1814, when British forces captured Washington, DC. This unique moment might have significantly altered the nation's path forward, but the event and the reasons why it happened are little remembered by most Americans. 
 
 
 
When Washington Burned narrates and examines the British campaign and American missteps that led to the fall of Washington during the War of 1812. Watson analyzes the actions of key figures on both sides, such as President James Madison and General William Winder on the United States side and Rear Admiral George Cockburn and Major General Robert Ross on the British side. He pinpoints the reasons the campaign was such a disaster for the United States but also tells the redeeming stories of the courageous young clerks and the bold first lady, Dolley Madison, who risked their lives to save priceless artifacts and documents from the flames, including the Constitution. The British invasion was repulsed over the coming weeks and months, and the United States ultimately emerged stronger. 
 
 
 
General listeners interested in the history of Washington, United States history, and military history will be fascinated by this book.

    YOU who have reached that stage in your climb to the heights where you are no longer seeking anything of self, having tasted of all that the outer world and its human teachers can offer, and something within is strongly insisting that you begin to prove and demonstrate what you have learned by living it and using it to help others who are still seeking; 
You, who have felt within the heart a definite call to service and yearn to follow and obey, but who from obeying many urges in the past, only to be disappointed and disillusioned each time by failure of the leaders to be worthy of the Causes they represent, and you are therefore uncertain about this call, and are fearful of not knowing just what you ought to and can do; 
You who have not yet had this experience, but who are moved by a strong loving desire to help lift the load from those less fortunately situated, and who would know what is that insistent something within, and whose the voice that thus calls; 
Know, one and all, what you feel is My Love quickening into conscious active life in your heart, and what you hear is My Voice calling you to make ready for the Work I have been preparing you for — a Work that is your Work, long waiting for you to do, — when you have proven that self is no longer in control, and that you are willing to let Me lead the remainder of the way.

    Name above All Names

    Jesus Christ has been given the name above all names, the highest seat of honor, the right to reign and rule. Yet the busyness of our lives and the diversions of this world often distract us from knowing the most important person we could ever know. Perhaps we need some help to see Jesus afresh.
In this thoughtful study and worshipful reflection, two influential pastors draw on decades of pastoral experience in order to guide us through the whole sweep of Scripture and examine seven key qualities of Jesus's identity and ministry:

- Jesus as the True Prophet
- Jesus as the Great High Priest
- Jesus as the Conquering King
- Jesus as the Seed of the Woman
- Jesus as the Son of Man
- Jesus as the Suffering Servant
- Jesus as the Lamb on the Throne
Name above All Names helps us to see and meditate on the incomparable character of Christ—a spiritual exercise that enables us to readily respond to the exhortations of Scripture, to focus our gaze upon the King of kings, and to better understand just how great Jesus really is.
