About the Book:

For over a century The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prohibited the ordination of men who had Black African ancestry to offices in its priesthood. This "priesthood ban" was lifted in 1978 to the delight of most Church members, but puzzling questions and folklore surrounding the origin and reasons for the ban have lingered in Mormon popular culture.

In a deeply doctrinal discussion of this controversial subject in Mormon history, Professor Marcus H. Martins shares personal reflections based on his experiences as a Black member of the Church who lived through the final years of the ban.

His analysis debunks old myths and folklore, and it introduces a gospel-based framework for racial and cultural relations in contemporary societies.

He Did Deliver Me 20th Anniversary Edition

Title: He Did Deliver Me from Bondage 20th Anniversary Edition

Author: Colleen C. Harrison

Client: Hearthaven Publishing (formerly Windhaven Publishing)

Date of Work: 2012


About the Book:

He Did Deliver Me From Bondage is the book that introduced the 12 Steps to the LDS Church, explaining the principles in the steps in terms of the restored gospel. First published in 1989, He Did Deliver Me From Bondage was adopted in 1991 by LDS Family Services (then LDS Social Services) as the only text used in their LDS Addiction Recovery Program. To date, more than 160,000 copies have been sold, definitely making it a best seller.

He Did Deliver Me From Bondage had its origin in research Colleen did looking for the principles found in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in the Book of Mormon. Colleen reasoned that if these principles that had helped so many alcoholics and other addicts find recovery, they must be part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Her search uncovered a multitude of verses teaching the principles found in each of the steps. Although there wasn't room to use them all, these verses formed the framework for He Did Deliver Me From Bondage.

Available from Hearthaven Publishing and soon to be available at local LDS bookstores.

About the Book:

Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes we all fall down . . .

When Navy SEAL Rafe Kelly is taken hostage by a man with a bomb strapped to his chest, reciting that nursery rhyme, memories of his last covert mission in Afghanistan hit him hard. Realizing the war he left behind has followed him home, Rafe must use all of his skills to figure out who wants him dead—terrorists or a secret faction of his own government that thinks he knows too much.

As a hostage negotiator, Claire Michaels has seen death up close and personal. But when a Navy SEAL is taken hostage and the prototype of a military precision weapon is used on innocent civilians, Claire must turn to the one man who can help her, someone who holds the key to national secrets, someone she wants to believe in—her father.

Can she trust a man she barely knows and unravel the web of deceit before anyone has to die?
