Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1877, among the red rocks of Southern Utah, the signers of the Declaration of Independence twice visited a sleeping Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Wilford Woodrugg recounted these vivid visions a number of times during his lif-- because they were more than forgettable dreams. The men gathered around him demanded action. They knew Woodruff had just helped inaugurate proxy temple ordinances for faithful family members who had died, and now they wanted those same ordinances -- they wanted spiritual freedom. But who were these men who came to Woodruff? Some stand like titans -- Franklin, m Jefferson, Hancock, John Adams, and Samuel Adams. Others are lesser known yet had a huge influence on the passage of the Declaration and on the founding of the United States of America. These noble men who came to Woodruff by night brought resounding justification to a church rejected by the nation; the founders of freedom were coming to the Mormons for what only those people could give them -- salvation. The requests in Woodruff's dreams wre quickly fulfilled, and each Signer of the Declaration of Independence had his temple work completed. -- Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Wilford Woodruff's Witness by : Jennifer Ann Mackley
Download or read book Wilford Woodruff's Witness written by Jennifer Ann Mackley and published by . This book was released on 2022-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in a single volume, Jennifer Mackley chronicles the development of temple doctrine and ceremonies over the course of the nineteenth century: from washings and anointings to proxy baptisms, the endowment to plural marriage sealings, the first rebaptism to the last priesthood adoption. After Wilford Woodruff's conversion in 1833, he enthusiastically participated in the ordinances the Prophet Joseph Smith introduced in Kirtland and Nauvoo. However, Joseph was murdered before the implications of the "higher ordinances" could be fully understood, and before their administration in the temple could begin. Learn why Wilford believed that if revelation had ceased with Joseph Smith's death, the mission of Elijah would have failed. Through Wilford's own words--as preserved in his letters, discourses, and journals--find out what led him to seek additional revelation, make changes to some ordinances, and suspend or discontinue others. What did Wilford announce in 1894 that rewrote the nature of temple work? The temple ordinances were central to Wilford Woodruff's faith in the restored Church. Are they still important today?
Book Synopsis Christopher Columbus by : Arnold K. Garr
Download or read book Christopher Columbus written by Arnold K. Garr and published by Bookcraft, Incorporated. This book was released on 1992 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many books have been written about the life of Christopher Columbus and his New World discoveries, this one has a different thrust--that Columbus was not just a skilled, courageous sailor but was also a chosen instrument in the hands of God. For Latter-day Saints, this conclusion is implicit in a vision Nephi saw and recorded two thousand years or so before the time of Columbus. In relating that scripture to the fifteenth-century explorer, the author observes, modern prophets and Apostles have noted the significance of America in the Lord's plan for humankind, the historical necessity for its discovery, colonization, and development, and the raising up thereon of a free nation wherein the kingdom of God--the gospel and Church of Jesus Christ--could be restored and prospered, from which place it could go forth to all peoples in the latter days. Clearly the circumstances would call for a discoverer--the right man in the right place at the right time. This book profiles the man from Genoa who apparently yearned from childhood for the seafaring life and who early began to acquire the nautical knowledge and experience that would make him the most widely traveled seaman of his day and would help him rise to the top ranks in that career. Seized by the spirit of adventure, he began to formulate his plan for the "Enterprise of the Indies, " his dream of reaching East by sailing west. And finally, after eight frustrating years of seeking sponsorship in European courts, he persuaded Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain to finance the project. But adventure was not his only incentive. Stronger than that, it seems, was his spiritual motivation. A devout Christian, he gratefully and frequently credited God with all his blessings; he saw himself as a fulfillment of prophecy in this matter, as a literal instrument in God's hands; he was certain that he was God-inspired in his passionate quest for the westward route; and moreover, a major concern of his was to bring Christianity to the natives of the "Indies." Given this kind of spirit and his seafaring skills, and acknowledging his human weaknesses, Christopher Columbus seems to have been the kind of man the Lord could use for His purposes; and, indeed, modern Apostles and prophets quoted in this book affirm that he was that instrument. This interpretation is borne out also by the story told here of his four voyages to the New World. Published in 1992, the five-hundredth anniversary year of the first and most famous of those voyages, this book brings potent reminders of the important role played by a bold and courageous man who was chosen and guided as an essential forerunner of the restoration of the gospel.

This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. . . That's what we said in elementary school when I was young. This was to help us remember when America was discovered. We were taught in school some of the characteristics of Christopher Columbus, such as perseverance, courage, fortitude, and mental inquisitiveness. There was an official Columbus Day, October 12, with remembrance and celebrations. There were cities, schools, streets and universities named after this honored man.Things change abruptly in the year of the 500th anniversary of Columbus day, 1992. All of a sudden, it seemed, Columbus was dishonored, statues were desecrated, streets were renamed, and Christopher's name was besmirched. He became a pariah, an outcast, someone to be shunned. How did this come about? I wanted to know. So I actually studied some history. I found some amazing truths about Columbus-I wanted to share them. It's absurd, but not many wanted to listen.It is interesting to me that John Wesley has a different history. He is acknowledged as the founder of the Methodist Church. He is still held in fairly high esteem. Especially by the Methodists. In spite of this, John's own records show that he didn't intend to start a Church. He wanted to remain loyal to the Church of England. He only wanted to be sure there was a society that would study the scriptures in a "methodical" fashion. Nevertheless he filed papers with the Crown that made certain that his society would continue after his death. It has. But it has become a Church separate from others. Benjamin Franklin has come under the same dishonest scrutiny as Columbus. Now some say he was a theist, an atheist, and even an adulterer. More fake history. In studying his history, I am determined he was faithful to Deborah, his wife. His own writings make it clear he was a true believer in God and Christ. He followed his own project for moral perfection. One of the 13 character traits he worked on during his life was Chastity. He was the most famous man of his time. He was an inventor, a diplomat, a printer, a community leader, and a franchisor in business, perhaps the first. And then there is George Washington. He is the indispensable man. Our nation could not have come into being if he weren't there at the most important times of our history. The Revolutionary War, the Constitutional Convention, and the first Presidential Administration. Now his history is also being besmirched. Was he unfaithful to Martha? Did he hope to become financially enriched by the War? And what about his owning of slaves. There is recently an artistic representation of George's life that is being removed from a school wall because it is offensive. Offensive? From one of history's greatest men. That goes to show you that someone will try to find something to object to or be offended by, in the lives of great, I mean GREAT Men. In August of 1877, the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence and other eminent men and women appeared to Wilford Woodruff in the temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at St. George, Utah, and requested that their temple work be done. You will be interested to know that at that time, four men were ordained High Priests in the Melchizedek Priesthood. Those four men were Christopher Columbus, John Wesley, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington. I have wondered about that. Why were these men chosen to be so honored? I now feel it is necessary to stand up for these men, and try to set the record straight. Here they are in "Four Ordained."

Book Synopsis Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young by : The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Download or read book Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young written by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This book was released on with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prophet Brigham Young taught the restored gospel of Jesus Christ in a basic, practical way that gave inspiration and hope to the Saints struggling to build a home in the wilderness. Though more than a century has now passed, his words are still fresh and appropriate for us today as we continue the work of building the kingdom of God. President Young declared that as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we possess the “doctrine of life and salvation for all the honest-in-heart” (DBY, 7). He promised that those who receive the gospel in their hearts will have awakened “within them a desire to know and understand the things of God more than they ever did before in their lives” and will begin to “inquire, read and search and when they go to their Father in the name of Jesus he will not leave them without a witness” (DBY, 450). This book reflects the desire of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to deepen the doctrinal understanding of Church members and to awaken within them a greater desire to know the things of God. It will inspire and motivate individuals, priesthood quorums, and Relief Society classes to inquire, read, search, and then go to their Father in Heaven for a witness of the truth of these teachings. Each chapter contains two sections—“Teachings of Brigham Young” and “Suggestions for Study.” The first section consists of extracts from Brigham Young’s sermons to the early Saints. Each statement has been referenced, and the original spelling and punctuation have been preserved; however, the sources cited will not be readily available to most members. These original sources are not necessary to have in order to effectively study or teach from this book. Members need not purchase additional references and commentaries to study or teach these chapters. The text provided in this book, accompanied by the scriptures, is sufficient for instruction. Members should prayerfully read and study President Young’s teachings in order to gain new insights into gospel principles and discover how those principles apply to their everyday lives. By faithfully and prayerfully studying these selections, Latter-day Saints will have a greater understanding of gospel principles and will more fully appreciate the profound and inspired teachings of this great prophet. The second section of each chapter offers a series of questions that will encourage thoughtful contemplation, personal application, and discussion of President Young’s teachings. Members should refer to and carefully reread his words on the principle being discussed. Deep and prayerful study of these teachings will inspire members to greater personal commitment and will help them resolve to follow the teachings of the Savior, Jesus Christ. If individuals and families prayerfully follow the principles in this book, they will be blessed and inspired to greater dedication and spirituality, as were the early Saints who heard these words directly from the lips of the “Lion of the Lord” (HC, 7:434)—the prophet, seer, and revelator, President Brigham Young.
