In this book the author parts the veil of mystery, and, perhaps for the first time, presents answers to the most profound questions concerning the atonement: Why was the atonement necessary? Where did the atonement actually occur? Why did Christ have to shed his blood? How does the atonement actually work? How were people forgiven of their personal sins before the atonement occurred? How do we solve the paradox of faith and works? Is Christ's atonement enough, or must we, like Paul admonishes, work out our salvation with fear and trembling? Be prepared to have your understanding of the atonement challenged and your knowledge of the truth expanded. In the end you will be enriched, enlightened, and inspired.

Obtaining Your Calling & Election

Terri Hopkins Clawson

Before we started down the street to the first home, we stood together and said a prayer. I prayed the Lord would open doors for us that day, so we could teach people the gospel we loved. When I opened my eyes I saw a wonderful vision: I saw before me a large door and frame that covered the entire street we were about to tract. As I pondered the meaning of what I saw, the voice of the Spirit spoke to me and said, God will open the doors for you this day! As I continued to look, I saw this large door begin to open before me until it was fully open and the street was no longer blocked. As we started knocking on the doors of homes on that the first street, we began to experience success beyond our wildest dreams: we began to get in every door. I wish I had the words to describe it! Door after door, street after street, hour after hour, we knocked on doors and were let in to teach. This was the climax to the miraculous summer of a young missionary working in the Pennsylvania mission. It was just one of a multitude of wonderful experiences that came as a result of the author's commitment to missionary work. The author brings over 15 years of missionary experience together to give direction and instruction to missionaries, members, and priesthood leaders in practical principles that will make any dedicated individual a successful missionary. Within the pages that follow, Elder Clawson shares the principles he found that bring success to any faithful missionary. He was a model about whom President Pinnock would often refer over the next 25 years when he was encouraging and training other missionaries. Elder Clawson feels a need for all missionaries to have access to these success principles and the enthusiasm he continues to feel for missionary work. He knows how success can be achieved and is passing on these principles to help all those wonderful missionaries who are desirous of achieving success and blessing the lives of those who search for truth.

Irene Staples was the first Official Hostess for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons). She served in this position for almost 10 years, much of the time as the sole representative serving in this position. Irene was part of, or a direct witness to, some of the most momentous events in the history of the Mormon Church in modern times. On a daily basis she rubbed shoulders with kings and queens, ambassadors, captains of industry, movie stars, and thousands of just folk that came to Utah to learn about the Mormon church. 
 Perhaps her greatest accomplishments were her involvement in the opening of Israel for the preaching of the Gospel, and helping to obtain the land for the Orson Hyde Memorial Park that sits on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. 
 Here are just a few of the things discussed in this book: 
 The Mormon Pavilion at the 1964 New York World s Fair the prototype for all future Visitors Centers that would be built by the Mormon Church. 
 The first Christmas lights on Temple Square. 
 Temple Square and the many dignitaries Irene hosted over the years.

 The discovery of Lehi s Cave in Israel. 
 The creation of the Orson Hyde Memorial Park on the Mount of Olives. 
 Inspiring stories from the life of this remarkable woman!

History

This is a coffee-table book containing full-color reproductions of hand painted envelopes from WWI, and excerpts from letters describing the war. When Walter Myers enlisted in the Army during World War I, his father, Ross, painted an original patriotic design on each envelope into which the family placed their letters. At one time Walter had to ask his father to stop decorating the envelopes because his mail was being stolen for their art. Walter carried the envelopes in a leather pouch through the trenches and difficult living conditions as he moved from place to place. At one time they were lost but, fortunately for Ross posterity, were found again. The envelopes were frequently displayed in one of the windows of the largest department store in their hometown of Steubenville, Ohio. Also displayed were his leather case, gas mask, maps, and a captured German officer s helmet. After returning home from France in 1919, Walter joined his father s business and became noted for his design of church and club interiors. John Ross Myers was a noted Scenic and Renaissance Ornament artist of the 1900s in the tri-State area of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. He studied art at the Cooper Institute of Art, later called the Cooper Union. While studying in New York City, he earned money for his schooling by painting on the Brooklyn Bridge. In the early 1920s he traveled to the Holy Lands and the Mediterranean Area to research the ornamental painting for which he became well known. The excerpted letters included in this book are those written from Walter TO his family and carefully saved by his mother, later passed down to his daughter, Nancy Myers Hopkins. Many of them were written on YMCA stationery. The combined envelopes and letters present an historical record of the war and home fronts between Feb 5, 1918 and May 3, 1919. Walter was assigned to the Army Air Service Corps, 5th Balloon Company and fought in the Meuse-Argonne Defensive Sector and was involved in the engagement at St Mihiel, France.

This book is not a commentary on the New Testament! Instead, the author provides actual quotes from ancient Jewish and Christian sources that provide insight into the people, places, and events surrounding the life of Jesus. There are hundreds of books, letters, and other ancient Christian and Jewish manuscripts, not included in our modern Bible, that provide additional information about the life of Jesus, his Apostles, and the early Christians. The sources used in this book are varied: historians such as Josephus (a Jew) and Eusebius (a Christian); philosophers such as Philo (a Jew) and Origen (an early Christian); sacred manuscripts such as the Mishna (the Oral Law of the Jews), the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi Library, the Pseudepigrapha and Hagiography (Christian writings not included in the Bible); and many other apocryphal sources of information relating to the New Testament. The author has carefully gleaned through these ancient sources and gathered together in one volume many pearls of great price relating to the New Testament. Jesus Christ was a Jew. His earthly parents were Jews, and he was raised within a Jewish culture. In addition, all of the men chosen by Jesus to lead the church he created were Jews. Understanding Jewish culture at the time of Christ, and knowing what the Jews of that time believed and taught, is crucial for anyone striving to know Jesus as a person. This book will help you understand the religious doctrine the Jews believed prior to the birth of Jesus, and will detail many of the specific laws and rites every Jew was required to perform. It will also give you the historical background of the political and cultural events that led up to the birth of Jesus. This book also quotes ancient sources that describe in detail the structure and beliefs of the early Jewish and Christian churches. It also documents changes that occurred to the church Jesus created after the death of the original Apostles and the dramatic suffering many Christians were forced to endure because of their beliefs. All of this information, and much, much, more is provided, not as a commentary, but through actual quotes from ancient sources that had first-hand knowledge of the events they were describing! Through reading the words of these ancient Jews and Christians, your understanding of the New Testament will truly be enhanced ! Volume I includes: an Introduction; an Abbreviation of References; a Table of Contents for both Volume I and II; and Important Aids to Reading this Book. Volume II includes: a Table of Contents for both Volume I and II; Important Aids to Reading this Book; and an extensive Index for both volumes.
