What the Saints Never Said


Book Description

"God helps those who help themselves." - The Bible? "Preach the gospel always; when necessary, use words." - St. Francis of Assisi? Sayings like these are such a part of modern pious tradition that we assume they come from the Bible, the mouths of saints, or the pens of famous Christian writers. In What the Saints Never Said, apologist Trent Horn takes over forty of these well-known but dubious sayings and attempts to track them to their true source. In so doing he finds some that are close to what was really said, many that were mis-attributed or twisted beyond their original meaning, and more than a few that were just plain made up! Trent Horn sets the record straight,




The Klutch Duet


Book Description

Lies That Sinners Tell & Truths That Saint Believe The Klutch Duet in one beautiful hardback... Lies That Sinners Tell Darkness asked her to dance. It started with a cold stare. An arrangement. A deal with a devil in a bespoke suit. He was wicked. Cruel. No sane person would fall in love with him. But sanity abandoned her the second she agreed to be his. She chose to take his hand. It started with a white dress. With ocean eyes. With a woman he had to have, even though he had no business touching her porcelain skin. She was never meant to enter his world. He dragged her in anyway. It was meant to be about his twisted, selfish desires. She gave him a glimpse of the man he could've been had the world not turned him into a monster. He led her into the abyss. There, in the darkness, she learned wicked things. He knew he'd ruin her life, loving her. So he lied. Like the sinner he was, he broke her gentle, precious heart. Like only a devil could. But the dance had to end. Truths That Saints Believe The dance is over. The battle begins. Broken hearts never heal quite right.

Saints: The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days


Book Description

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).




Liars and Saints


Book Description

A richly textured novel tells a story of sex and longing, love and loss, and of the deceit that can lie at the heart of family relationships. “Each chapter…has the seductive aura of a finely crafted story. Liars and Saints is instructive and bittersweet and yet somehow never nostalgic” (Los Angeles Times). Set in California, Liars and Saints follows four generations of the Catholic Santerre family from World War II to the present. In a family driven as much by jealousy and propriety as by love, an unspoken tradition of deceit is passed from generation to generation. When tragedy shatters their precarious domestic lives, it takes astonishing courage and compassion to bring them back together. By turns funny and disturbing, irreverent and profound, Liars and Saints is a masterful display of Maile Meloy’s prodigious gifts and of her penetrating insight into an extraordinary American family and into the nature of human love. “Meloy may be the first great American realist of the twenty-first century: The Santerres aren’t real but they feel like they are, and the reader will not soon forget them” (The Boston Globe).
