Brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty insist they were commanded to kill by God. In Under the Banner of Heaven, Jon Krakauer's investigation is a meticulously researched, bone-chilling narrative of polygamy, savage violence and unyielding faith: an incisive look inside isolated Mormon Fundamentalist communities in America, this gripping work of non-fiction illuminates an otherwise confounding realm of human behaviour.

Every child of God, despite our past spiritual experiences, can expect to have our faith and testimony tested during our spiritual journey. Doubt is a normal part of our faith experience. The question is not whether moments of doubt will arise in our lives, but where we will turn and who we will look to when they do arise. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, taught us where to look when doubt threatens our faith.

Paul says in 2 Timothy 4:3, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears” (telling them what they want to hear). Verse 4 says, “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” So, are the Mormons teaching fables?

As I held my infant son in my arms, I began to ponder some difficult questions regarding LDS priesthood blessings. If his life ever became threatened by illness or accident and I needed to administer a priesthood blessing, how could I possibly know what to say? How could I know whether my feelings were from inspiration or from my own desires? If my duty was to tune into the frequency of the “Still, Small Voice” prompting me, then how could I possibly tune out the fatherly instincts screaming inside my head?

Who is Heavenly Mother, and do we have an individual imperative to seek Her as we do the Father and the Son? If so, how do we come to know Her?

What follows is an exploration into the symbolic realm of the tree of life, Mother's chosen metaphor in scripture.

Do you ever wonder what decisions will shape your destiny? For Lindsay, one of those decisions was made at the young age of 13, when she converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints—known to the world as "the Mormon church". Over the course of a decade, Lindsay would take a journey into one of the most secretive and powerful religious organizations in the world, a journey that would cause her to lose her true self as she submitted to the doctrine of the Mormon church. Little did she know that two people would come into her life and take her on a new journey.

Big Bang Theory vs. the Bible has a truly unique comparison between two seemingly opposite perspectives. It brings religion and science together by using the truths of the Big Bang Theory, evolution, astronomy, mathematics, statistical probabilities, and the solar system. It reconciles the calendar of the creation recorded in the Book of Genesis with the calendar of the Big Bang Theory—as the two calendars perfectly and mathematically correlate.

Putting On Christ is a road map of our heroic journey to spiritual rebirth, also referenced in the holy writ as “the gate” that leads to eternal life. This gate is the first comforter which is received and initiated through a “baptism of fire” and the manifestation of the Lord’s spirit. The Savior said, “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: For many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able” (Luke 13:24). For the true seeker and truth seeker, Putting On Christ may prove a valuable guide for the journey.

Forming deep relationships with God and with others is the most important aspect of mortal life, and yet one of the most vexing problems many face during their time on this Earth is the lack of love - the inability to receive and give love as the savior did. In Filled with His Love, Russell T. Osguthorpe, former Sunday School General President, addresses the question of how we can increase our capacity to give and receive love so that we can have secure, healthy relationships with God and with others.

Indeed, in our day and time, it seems that there are many misconceptions about faith and a general lack of good understanding on the subject. Some of the issues that abound include things like poorly worded or narrowly defined dictionary entries, belief that faith is only a religious thing, not knowing what the relationship between faith and knowledge is, and then not being able to state which one of these comes first with anything better than a 50/50 guess at a right answer, and others.
