No Bugs in Heaven


Book Description

Caskets should only come in one size. This was Jim's observation on the worst day of his life. Or was it? Jim was a typical father both loving and involved. But on this day, Jim's Tradition, charms on a bracelet, caused him to doubt how he fathered the most wonderful seven-year-old girl, Zoe. Jim traded this doubt for his sense of peace, and nothing he was doing helped. He needed help and the Journey, along with Zoe and the mysterious Abe, was there to do just that. With a sense of wonder, Jim was carried through a series of places and events. Each setting was more spectacular than the last, and each place was set up to teach and make Jim understand reality. Jim's search for peace could only be found through turmoil and hard work. And with each setting came a charm, a charm that was made by his own hard work and example of a father. In the end, he would find peace right where he left it, right in the middle of the truth. Jim was a great father, and all of heaven was there to teach. All Jim needed to do was let go and listen. All he needed to do was seek and find. The Journey was real, and Jim's Tradition didn't stand a chance. 253

Earth and High Heaven


Book Description

When Erika Drake, of the Westmount Drakes, met and fell in love with Marc Reiser, a Jew from northern Ontario, their respective worlds were turned upside down. Set against the backdrop of the first three years of the Second World War, Earth and High Heaven captured the hearts and minds of its generation and helped to shape the more diverse and inclusive culture we have today. Published in 1944, this classic novel was very timely; it spoke of the prejudices of its time, when Gentiles and Jews did not mix in society. Earth and High Heaven was the most successful novel of its time, winning many awards and prizes, including the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in 1945 (an award founded to reward books that exposed racism or explored the richness of human diversity). It was translated into eighteen languages and the film rights were purchased by Samuel Goldwyn for a remarkable $100,000. Earth and High Heaven was the first Canadian novel to top the New York Times bestseller list for the better part of a year.

The author-elect smashes into the face with a clear discernment and preponderance of evidence regarding human ignorance that contributes to the detriment of the society in which we live. This volume consists of two books, and took over twenty painstaking years to complete. And includes important revealing messages unique from God to all peoples of the world.




Revelation of John the Apostle


Book Description

To read the book of Revelation is to see a myriad of representations pass by our gaze, offering and kaleidoscope of bizarre and incongruent images. This world strikes us at first as fearfully and mysteriously strange and fantastic. But once these symbols are properly deciphered, they combine to present crucial messages for those living in the last days. These messages were designed by God to lead all successfully through these troubled times if they will read, hear, and do his will. This commentary presents a comprehensive analysis of John's book aided by the lens of LDS doctrine and Mormon experience. God delivered his messages in the form of images housed within discrete visions, with each symbol explaining, exposing, or emphasizing various aspects of the message conveyed. The challenge is getting beyond the symbols to the represented realities. Information is drawn from all the Standard Works, the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and from modern Prophets and Apostles.
