Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "A Rational Theology, as Taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints," John Andreas Widtsoe presents a comprehensive examination of the theological underpinnings of Latter-Day Saint beliefs, articulating them through a rational lens. Widtsoe's literary style is marked by clarity and logical coherence, aiming to bridge faith and reason, reflecting the early 20th-century context of religious inquiry amidst growing intellectualism. His meticulous approach invites readers to explore complex doctrines, such as the nature of God, the purpose of life, and the intricacies of revelation, all grounded in scripture while remaining accessible to believers and skeptics alike. Widtsoe, a prominent figure in the Latter-Day Saint community, served in various educational and administrative roles, which undoubtedly influenced his theological pursuits. His background as a scientist and educator, combined with his deep faith, drives his quest to articulate a system of belief that is not only spiritually fulfilling but also intellectually satisfying. This synthesis of spirituality and reason positions Widtsoe as a pivotal voice in Latter-Day Saint thought during a transformative era. I recommend "A Rational Theology" to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Latter-Day Saint doctrine or the interplay between faith and reason. Widtsoe's work offers profound insights for both believers looking to reinforce their faith and non-believers seeking to understand its rational foundations.

Lady Maybe - Revised 10th...

Julie Klassen

One final cry of terror, and suddenly her world shifted violently, until a blinding collision scattered her mind and shook her bones. Then, the pain. The freezing water. And as all sensation drifted away, a hand reached for hers before all faded into darkness. . . .  
 
In the midst of a fierce storm, a carriage carrying Sir John Mayfield, Lady Marianna Mayfield, and her lady's companion careens off a narrow cliff road, changing their fates forever. When the wreckage is found, Sir John is gravely injured, and a woman is discovered unconscious wearing a valuable ring. As the woman regains consciousness in a strange house, she grapples with fragmented memories of the accident, unsettling dreams of a child in peril, and a deep mystery tied to the ring on her finger. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and haunted by a sense of foreboding, the survivor realizes she cannot trust anyone and must uncover the truth of what happened that stormy night, even as danger mounts and enemies conspire against her.  
 
In this revised and updated 10th anniversary edition of Julie Klassen's acclaimed novel, a woman's startling secrets lead her into unexpected danger and romance in Regency England. 
 
Lady Maybe is a clean Regency romance full of mystery, adventure, and a search for identity. This novel will delight fans of the amnesia trope, Julia Quinn, Jane Austen, and Mimi Matthews.

It translates complex concepts into practical strategies, addressing the unique cultural and digital landscapes of today's youth and offering new ways to resonate with their realities.
