Lund Shadow Mountain, 2001 Kingdom and the Crown - series THis is the most wonderful series I've read in a long time. It helps to fully understand the happenings of the life of Jesus Christ.

The story never dulls, it keeps you interested for the whole read. It's not a difficult read and the author has no trouble in making you imagine the Fablehaven world in your head. I was only disappointed with the quick ending, I was hoping for more of a showdown or tougher battle. However, this will not stop me from reading the series. It is a bit younger ...             Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star (Fablehaven)42 reviews Brandon Mull Shadow Mountain, 2007 Book two of the Fablehaven series!

I was bored with listening to a story when so many other things were expected of me. Later I decided to stop buzzing around and relax and try listening again, and I am so glad that I did. It is truely a story of hope, a story of love and it brings Christmas Day so much closer to ...             Approaching Zion (The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Vol 9)13 reviews Hugh Nibley Shadow Mountain, 1989 Nibley at his most personal and most challenging to our normal mode of life This is Hugh Nibley at his most personal and most challenging. Here he expresses his faith, insights, and commitment to trusting the Lord and taking his covenants most seriously. He hammers home again and again that we receive everything from the Lord and that we are blind to many of the blessings we have all around us. We refuse to take them because we are after the things of this world and ...             The Peacegiver: How Christ Offers to Heal Hearts and Homes36 reviews James L. Ferrell Shadow Mountain, 2004 We're all "Rick" here. In the last few weeks, my Savior, my wife, my therapist, this book and the better angels of my own nature have all combined on me in a massive intervention that has saved my life and my marriage of 10 years.             Temple and Cosmos: Beyond This Ignorant Present (The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Vol 12 : Ancient History)6 reviews Hugh Nibley Shadow Mountain, 1992 Nibley's best work by far. This book is amazing. Nibley's grasp of the subject matter is truly astounding. While it is true that Nibley is a mormon apologist, this work is not skewed like many of his other works. This is his best effort. Whether you are mormon or not this book brings up a lot of intersting similarities with almost every ancient religion and their temple type. Zoroastrian fire temples being the most ...             An Ancient American Setting for the Book of Mormon7 reviews John L. Sorenson Shadow Mountain, 1985 Helping the reader see what the Book of Mormon actually says rather than what others claim for it We all know a lot of things that aren't so. This may because of the way we receive knowledge from others. An individual bit of knowledge might have been garbled in its path to us, it may have always been nonsense, it might have been state of the art understanding that has since been supplanted, or it might be a decent approximation of reality. This book is, I believe, quite important because ...             Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt (Classics in Mormon Literature)5 reviews Parley P. Pratt Shadow Mountain, 1985 ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE BOOKS ON LDS CHURCH HISTORY This is a first-hand account of the growth and history of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, as seen through the eyes of one of its highest-ranking insiders (and Apostle), Parley P. Pratt. Pratt, a traveling preacher, first heard of the Book of Mormon in late August, 1830, and was baptized on about Sept 1, 1830. From then on, his life was one of total committment and devotion to ...             The UnValentine5 reviews Sam Beeson Shadow Mountain, 2008 A Very Goth UnValentine This book is a short little poem of sorts. Lily doesn't believe in love. And she certainly doesn't believe in Valentine's Day and the cutesy cards and mush that goes along with it. She writes in her journal about how she feels: "Exactly midway through the frigid month of February A day is celebrated by the dull and ordinary. And all around me notes are passed by idiots and stupids -- ...             Remembering Joseph: Personal Recollections of Those Who Knew the Prophet Joseph Smith5 reviews Shadow Mountain, 2003 Surpasses "They Knew The Prophet" This is really two books. The print "dead tree" version is merely excerpts of the larger CD-ROM included in the book. This CD has, in Adobe format, the text to about 2,000 pages of reminisces and recollections about Joseph Smith and other historical events relating to early church history. It includes scores of accounts of the transfiguration of Brigham Young. This book scholarly, and is all ...             One Tattered Angel: A Touching True Story of the Power of Love7 reviews Blaine M. Yorgason Shadow Mountain, 2003 amazing and thought provoking i was on the island of st. martin recently, staying at a small hotel on the beach; to pass some time, i'd noticed they had "used" books on the shelf in the lobby to borrow and saw this little book called "one tattered angel". i started reading it and couldn't put it down. it affected the rest of my trip & my outlook on things, especially the power of prayer. i wanted to take the book with me - ...             Spiritual Roots of Human Relations5 reviews Stephen R. Covey Shadow Mountain, 1993 More Than 7 Habits This is the original from which Covey based all his later 7 Habits books, writings, seminars, etc. Much more powerful than expected, this is not a book for the squeamish. If you're afraid to improve, if you're afraid to make your life enormously successful, then stay away from this book. If you want to know what First Things First means, here's a great place to start.             Sergeant Nibley, Ph.D.: Memories of an Unlikely Screaming Eagle5 reviews Hugh Nibley, Alex Nibley Shadow Mountain, 2006 A Different View of the Famed 101st This book is written from a very interesting perspective. Hugh Nibley was 32 years old and had a Ph.D. when he enlisted in the army. He went into intelligence, and presumed that he would get assigned some nice safe assignment writing reports or something like that. But those of who have been in the Army know that the Army Gods don't work that way. He was assigned to work with the 101st ...             Behold the Man (Kingdom and the Crown, Vol 3)6 reviews Gerald N. Lund Shadow Mountain, 2002 Loved it! I absolutely LOVE these series. I'm now reading them for the 4th time. I love how Lund breaks down the parables and teachings of Christ to make them easier to understand. I also love the historical accuracy. He brings you into the story as if you really are there. I highly recommend these books!             Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith5 reviews Joseph F. Smith Shadow Mountain, 1977 Standard Work on Joseph Smith. This book is the best treasure house of Joseph Smith's teachings. In fact, it is an unofficial source of theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It relies heavily on the rather bulky "History of the Church," but also has some documents that are not included in the official history. It is well organized, and these newer editions have the index compiled by Dr. Robert Matthews.              search for books american, approaching, autobiography, christmas, classics, collected, fablehaven, finnegan, fishers, forgotten, history, ignorant, literature, memories, peacegiver, personal, recollections, relations, remembering, screaming, scriptures, sergeant, setting, songbook, spiritual, tattered, teachings, touching, unlikely, unvalentine books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
