Summary

In "A Voice of Warning," Parley P. Pratt presents a compelling treatise that intertwines spiritual conviction with a fervent defense of the Latter-day Saint faith. Written in a lucid and engaging literary style, the work employs persuasive rhetoric and scriptural references, effectively appealing to the intellect and emotions of its readers. Pratt addresses the burgeoning tensions of 19th-century America, reflecting the socio-religious landscape of a nation grappling with issues of faith, identity, and divine revelation. This book stands as a significant contribution to religious literature, championing the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints against contemporary skepticism and offering an impassioned call to repentance and truth-seeking. Parley P. Pratt, a foundational figure in the early days of Mormonism, served both as a missionary and an elder. His profound experiences, including missions across America, England, and the Pacific, deeply influenced his spiritual and literary output. Pratt's commitment to the Latter-day Saint movement emerged during a time of rapid growth and fierce opposition, shaping his desire to articulate the church's message and defend its tenets against prevailing cultural challenges. "A Voice of Warning" is highly recommended for those interested in religious history, theology, or the dynamics of American faith movements. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the origins and beliefs of the Latter-day Saint tradition will find Pratt's work both enlightening and thought-provoking, offering a rare glimpse into the convictions that motivated one of the faith's most passionate advocates.

    This book is about the Kingdom of God. 
    The Kingdom of God is not the church, it is bigger than the church and includes God's 
    plan to bring prosperity and national transformation to all nations. God’s 
    kingdom is bigger than any local denomination, whether that denomination is Catholic, 
    Protestant, Anglican, Pentecostal, Baptist, Wesleyan, Nazarene, Church of God, or any 
    other denomination. 
    Please listen to this audiobook so that you can discover that the kingdom of God is God’s answer 
    to your need for power and control, and His answer to the needs of a world lost in sin, 
    immorality, corruption, abuse, scandal, and self-deception. That is why the Kingdom 
    was at the heart of the message of Jesus. The kingdom is a paradox that may be hard to 
    understand, but a mystery which has been revealed. The teaching of this book seeks to 
    simplify and explain the doctrine of the kingdom, the message of the gospel of the 
    kingdom, and heaven’s reign over planet Earth through a people, God calls the church.

    Once the most deeply cherished book in English-speaking households other than Bible itself, John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim's Progress is the allegorical tale of Christian the pilgrim on his journey to the Celestial City. Along the way, Christian encounters both worthy companions and dreadful adversaries. Although this book was written more than three hundred years ago, this stirring spiritual narrative still bears the power to challenge and encourage readers on their own spiritual journeys.

    Once upon a time, humans lived in intimate relationship with nature. 
     
     
     
    Whether disillusioned by the dominant church or unfulfilled by traditional expressions of faith, many of us long for a deeper spirituality. Victoria Loorz certainly did. Coping with an unraveling vocation, identity, and planet, Loorz turned to the wanderings of spiritual leaders and the sanctuary of the natural world, eventually cofounding the Wild Church Network and Seminary of the Wild. 
     
     
     
    With an ecospiritual lens on biblical narratives and a fresh look at a community larger than our own species, Church of the Wild uncovers the wild roots of faith and helps us deepen our commitment to a suffering earth by falling in love with it—and calling it church. Through mystical encounters with wild deer, whispers from a scrubby oak tree, wordless conversation with a cougar, and more, Loorz helps us connect to a love that literally holds the world together—a love that calls us into communion with all creatures.

    Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former urchins that helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London. Grown now, they concentrate on stealing high-value items and have learned how to blend into upper-class society. But when Rosemary must determine whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany, she is in for the challenge of a lifetime. How does one steal a family's history, their very name?

When Rosemary shows up at his door pretending to be a historian and offering to help him trace his family history, his question might be answered.  
     
    But as the two work together and Rosemary sees his gracious reaction to his neighbors' scornful attacks, she wonders if her assignment is going down the wrong path. Is it too late to help him prove that he's more than his name?
