Key to the Science of Theology is Parley P. Pratt's all-embracing
account of religion's impact on everything in day to day life. The
author discusses religion, science, and the meaning of life in a
passionate and concise way. Pratt's insights into the importance of
religion and the presence of the Holy Ghost in our lives has lost
none of its poignant luster with the passage of time. We discover
here answers to all manner of questions concerning the dizzying
pace of scientific advancement, and the core spiritual principles
which all good Christians - be they Mormon or otherwise - must
cleave to in pursuit of a sublime life well-lived. All kinds of
philosophical concepts are brought to the fore by Pratt, whose
learning and researches are of stunning profundity. Topics include
the spiritual progress of mankind over the ages, the various
attributes of the heavenly afterlife, and the origin and destiny of
the universe around us.
This book introduces a new vision-a simple and comprehensive
approach to understanding different aspects of humanity, and the
complexities of this world, exemplified by a collection of
extraordinary stories, and supported by a pile of science and
evidence.
For thousands of years, humanity has been suffering from
illnesses at individual, societal, and international levels.
Anxiety, depression, prostitution, crime, and worldwide wars are
only a few of these examples. Despite hundreds of spiritual,
religious, and non-religious leaders, and in spite of tremendous
advancements in science and technology, our collective problems are
only growing. The question is why. What are we missing? The root of
these problems points to one common element-not fully understanding
the multidimensional human being. We cannot solve the dilemmas of
humanity with the same mind that created them
This book is intended to help the general population explore
some of the most complex mysteries of our world and seemingly
unsolvable problems created by mankind. It provides a fast track
for personal and global transformation based on science and
evidence, using a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual model. Many concepts
have been borrowed from outstanding scientists, philosophers,
researchers, teachers, and leaders in the past and present, and a
few more have been added by the author.
The book in your hand is a mandate that will unveil the essence
of living in the Christ purpose for your life and make you channel
your God-given potential in the right direction in life. And to a
be blessing to mankind and an useful vessel of honor to God.
In this book are some true-life encounters which I used as an
illustration portraying the thought and promises of God toward
us.
What's your dream? Do you believe that God will answer your
prayers so that you can fulfill that dream? Do you really believe
that He is faithful? Unrealized dreams can cause deep pain that
lasts for years. What takes away that pain? The journey through
life is a learning process that each human must endure. I say
endure because the learning is not always comfortable. You are not
alone in anything you do. The lessons learned and talked about in
this book can help anyone who is dealing with trouble, pain, human
interaction, or faith. By reading this book, the author hopes you
will learn a little about music, a little more about life, and a
lot about the love of God.
Like life, the Labyrinth] walk seems pretty easy at the start
when we're kids. You decide what you want to be when you grow up
and head that way, toward center. Then real life begins to happen.
Some of us carry the seeds of a physical, mental, and spiritual
malaise, one of the "isms" like alcoholism, for example. These
explode, reach the surface, and sprout. Our straight path zings
away to the side, we lose sight of center, and we circle around the
edge of what others seem to easily obtain. At some point on the
narrow path, I suddenly recall the day of my first marriage's
divorce, and I weep but keep walking. Around another tight curve on
the path, I recall my first AA meeting, while I was still in the
detox in South Amboy. Teasingly close to center again, the path
zags in the opposite direction. In obeying the order for this
second walk, I come to understand. Now I feel again the purposeful
turning away from recovery that I chose time and again, running
from salvation back to the slavery of bottle or line. My choices,
mine alone.
