Almost the whole of the New Testament is devoted, not to the portrayal of the significant and inspiring religious life of Jesus, but to a discussion of Paul’s religious experience and to a portrayal of his personal religious convictions. The New Testament is a superb Christian document, but it is only meagerly Jesusonian. One of the most important things in human living is to find out what Jesus believed, to discover his ideals.

In 1820, a young farm boy in search of truth has a vision of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Three years later, an angel guides him to an ancient record buried in a hill near his home. With God’s help, he translates the record and organizes the Savior’s church in the latter days. Soon others join him, accepting the invitation to become Saints through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. But opposition and violence follow those who defy old traditions to embrace restored truths. The women and men who join the church must choose whether or not they will stay true to their covenants, establish Zion, and proclaim the gospel to a troubled world. The Standard of Truth is the first book in Saints, a new, four-volume narrative history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Fast-paced, meticulously researched, Saints recounts true stories of Latter-day Saints across the globe and answers the Lord’s call to write history “for the good of the church, and for the rising generations” (Doctrine and Covenants 69:8).
This condensed book has been compiled of twenty-four books. Each book was given directly from Almighty God's Holy Spirit to His Servant Arnold Gabriel, whom He calls Elijah. The book takes you from the past, to the present and into the future. The prophet takes you beyond the grave and reveals mysteries, which the Lord God has shown to him. Arnold Gabriel reveals the full forthcoming twelve to fifteen years on the earth. He has met and seen the Lord on numerous occasions, has been to the center of the earth, and has seen countless millions of souls in prisons waiting for the great day of Judgment. He has prophesied to many nations, even the full happening of Zimbabwe from 1998. Word for word, all has come to pass even foretold only God would take President Mugabe out. He prophecied Cape Town and Los Angeles will be under the sea in these years, and also many islands.Every human on the planet will be affected.
Almost the whole of the New Testament is devoted, not to the portrayal of the significant and inspiring religious life of Jesus, but to a discussion of Paul’s religious experience and to a portrayal of his personal religious convictions. The only notable exceptions to this statement, aside from certain parts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, are the Book of Hebrews and the Epistle of James. Even Peter, in his writing, only once reverted to the personal religious life of his Master. The New Testament is a superb Christian document, but it is only meagerly Jesusonian.

Molly Tauber owns Mollys Sunshine Bakery in River Oaks, a small, Northern California town. While her head is in the oven, her fianca doctoris on the East Coast, sewing up faces in a never-ending quest for more abbreviations to add to the end of his name. Forever making divine wedding cakes for her customers, Molly wonders if there will ever be one for her. Judging by the length of their engagement, she may be right to wonder. How long can a girl wait? In Molly Takes the Cake, the first installment in the Taylor Sisters River Oaks Series, Mollys Sunshine Bakery hosts a constant parade of charming, small-town characters who consider her bakery the heart of their community. Unlike the baked goods her customers scoop up almost as fast as she can make them, Molly's heart is growing stale. Should she trade in her doctor fianc for a nerdy fritter fanatic, a man of self-proclaimed mystery and intrigue? Molly Takes the Cake is refreshingly different from the typical romance novel. Sprinkled with humor throughout, it bakes up into a veritable dessert of romantic comedy.
After Ice Age, prehistoric animals gone, todays animals, birds, and fish inhabit the earth. The North and south poles develop during the iceage, and due to their location, they do not thaw. At least not yet. I believe the earth was one piece until the thaw, but, not being an artist, would not perform this act. The reason the earth seems to grow is that it is being observed as if from the sun. It is moving back into its present location, which was its location prior to the ice age.
After teaching and ministering twenty two years as a Christian pastor and evangelist, author Dhungarvn the Grey became disillusioned with the self-righteous membership and church politics. He left the ministry and began searching for the truth. In his re-evaluation of his concept of God and prayer, he reconnected with nature and the idea of nature-based spirituality. His soul stirred with a yearning toward paganism. From Pulpit to Pagan is the story of Dhungarvn the Grey's journey from Christianity to paganism and his quest for truth. Horus, Mithra, Krishna, and Jesus all told their followers, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." The truth about Christianity frees the pagan of the guilt-trips inflicted by well-meaning family members. It frees them from the tendency to credit Christianity, the Bible, and Jesus with more truth than is valid. It frees them from the missionary traps and ignorant attacks by evangelicals. Dhungarvn suspects that many in the pagan community are programmed by their family experience and Christian upbringing; they hold onto the Bible and Jesus out of unconscious fear and guilt. From Pulpit to Pagan details Dhungarvn's struggles, but also provides hope for other pagans to become truly free.
