Marriage's central role in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints distinguishes the faith while simultaneously reflecting widespread American beliefs. But what does Latter-day Saint marriage mean for men? Holly Welker presents a collection of essays exploring this question. The essayists provide insight into challenges involving sexuality, physical and emotional illness, addiction, loss of faith, infidelity, sexual orientation, and other topics. Conversational and heartfelt, the writings reveal the varied experiences of Latter-day Saint marriage against the backdrop of a society transformed by everything from economic issues affecting marriage to evolving ideas about gender. An insightful exploration of the gap between human realities and engrained ideals, Revising Eternity sheds light on how Latter-day Saint men view and experience marriage today.

****WARNING: Because of the abuse Luna endures and the demonic behavior of Lucifer's sons, Demon Slayor or any other book in the Saving Demons Series may be disturbing to some readers. If you are looking for a warm, fluffy read, Demon Slayer is not the book for you **** I killed him. And the scariest part about it was that I liked it. Lucifer's son hurt Izzy. He hurt Roman. And he hurt me when he took from me the one thing I held most sacred in my soul, and imbedded a seed within me that will undoubtably bloom into the darkest, most evil era of my life. What Lucifer's son had done to me woke something far more frightening, far more dangerous than my warrior instincts. Grandmother Jade said that I would wake from my dreams a warrior, but she was wrong. I woke a demon slayer

The criminal justice system is the instrument Governments use to control crime, believing it is more efficient than other types of public expenditure. The relative importance of law enforcement, economic and socio-economic variables in determining South African crime is assessed. An inter disciplinary theory is developed, using the economic model and variables from sociology and political science. Statistical analyses of data show that all categories of variables significantly influence crime. Expenditure exclusively on the criminal justice system to prevent crime is thus not most effective, other types of public expenditure must also be used. Specifically to improve education, which is surprisingly significant, well-being in female headed households and reduce poverty. Analysis of law enforcementshows increases in policing personnel alone do not increase output. Expenditure must enhance competency. A decade after this study, for the first time South African crime shows a significant downward trend, police use more crime intelligence and now use tactical response teams. Education is the most important outcome of the Government and crime prevention is among the priority outcomes.

The story began when the Little Star fell to earth from way up there somewhere and it forgot itself - who it was, what it was all about.
Lost in a strange world, it decided to claim the world and its inhabitants for itself, to own it, to be served and obeyed.
Through no doing of its own, it finds itself on a journey of discovery that is dual in purpose. On the one hand, discovering what it is and what it isn't, and on the other, which qualities in beings are admirable and which are not.
Based on these discoveries, the Little Star makes important choices. Without these, it would not have been able to find its purpose on earth, which may well be its actual purpose where it came from.
The Little Star discovers pain, empathy, death - the latter being a completely alien concept to it - and, most importantly, love.
