Embrace Ennobling Experiences: Thoughts on The Verities Of Life – A Personal Journey
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99In every life there are those milestones that are transformative for our souls such as baptism, receiving saving ordinances and marriage in one of God’s temples, and certainly the birth of children.
I want to share with you some experiences that have changed how I think, feel, and who I am. These are not the regular milestones of life, as important as they are. These are less visible experiences, but I see in them the Hand of the Lord providing education and blessings that may be unique in their impact on me, as they would be for each person. However, they are vital to our spiritual wellbeing and progress in mortality.
God does not perform inconsequential works. I have come to know them as ENNOBLING. -
Turtletoes: Following the Steps of An Angel
Price range: $3.99 through $25.99Life seems to always provide the experiences and people we each need for our development and maturity, even happiness. Turtletoes is about one of those people, a daughter born with birth defects, whose influence helped raise the author, her father, to become a better man than he could have on his own.
The book is about Tracy Purles, who was born with congenital heart disease and intellectual disability. Tracy endured being different. Physical, and mental challenges became a life-light for her family and friends. Her faith in God, determination to “be like everyone else,” resilience, and enjoyment of life’s little pleasures blessed the lives of her family and many others throughout her 20 years of life.
This is not a book about tragedy, but about the value and beauty of life, no matter at what level it must be lived. It is a story about how one little girl meets the challenge of staying alive with such faith, hope, and grace that her influence invites Heaven’s blessings for all. Her father writes that her passing from this life and going “Home” was one of the most spiritual experiences of his life. If you want an uplifting, “real world” experience that will touch your soul and invite you to thank God for your own life, read Turtletoes, Following the Steps of An Angel. -
Called to Discipleship: Turning to Christ with Full Purpose of Heart
Price range: $3.99 through $20.99Called to Discipleship
TURNING TO
CHRIST
WITH FULL PURPOSE
OF HEART
Following Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, He met with several of His disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee as they came in from fishing, Peter’s former career. Confusion is apparent regarding what they should do following those two events that tested their faith and changed their lives forever. Christ posed a powerful question to Peter: “Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?” It was not a question about fish, but about devotion.
Peter answered that he did love the Lord, and Christ replied, “Feed my sheep.” He asked the question three times. In doing so, Christ was clearly testing and reawakening Peter’s commitment and calling him once again to a life of discipleship.
Peter had been called to follow the Lord-and so have we all. The unanswered question for each of us is this: Will we, like Peter, turn to Christ with full purpose of heart?
This book explores the essential relationship between love and discipleship.
