Title: Early Scenes in Church History

Author: George Q. Cannon, Legacy LDS Audiobook Foundation

Narrator: Michael Neeb

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-08-18

Publisher: Legacy LDS Audiobook Foundation

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

Early Scenes in Church History, is the eighth in a series of 17 books called The Faith-Promoting Series. Published between 1879 and 1915, this series of books was published by the Juvenile Instructors Office for the Instruction and Encouragement of Young Latter-day Saints. It was George Q. Cannon's inspiration that produced the series, however.

In 1866, Cannon, then a member of the Quorum of the 12, began publication of a magazine for youth and young adults called The Juvenile Instructor, which he owned and published until his death in 1901, when his family sold the magazine to the LDS Church's Sunday School organization. Thus, in 1882 when the present work, Early Scenes in Church History, was published, it was a work undertaken under the direction of Cannon, with the blessing of the Church's governing leadership.

In the preface, the publisher provides that the purpose of the work is to preserve stories of faith from early Church history before they are lost, primarily for the benefit of the next generation of Latter-day Saints. The underlying premise for the work is that the rising generation of Latter-day Saints understand the legacy of faith bequeathed to them and thereby be inspired to acquire their own faith to carry on in the work of the Lord initiated by their spiritual, if not literal, forbearers.

Put another way, the premise for the work was to remember what God has done for this people, both collectively and individually. Portions of The Faith Promoting Series, including the present work, amount to almost an oral history project of people from Joseph Smith's generation. The simple narratives presented amount to the raw material of history, and preservation of these narratives saved from oblivion many personal and profound experiences of conversion and service.

Prophetically writing in one preface, Cannon observed that "men will seek with avidity" for such firsthand information "but a few years hence."

Members Reviews:

Unequalled in its explanations about God.

This book gives the explanations and answers for all the questions that any truly seeking person may have, whether it is about God, our Lord Jesus Christ, reincarnation, karma, the purpose of our lives, sin, original sin, the way to salvation etc. It is absolutely necessary that it be read with an open and unprejudiced mind. May God grant that those who are truly seeking find in this book. Amen.

Bad Religion

By sectioning a "moment" in the continuum of indivisible eternity through the mythical "Let there be Light", the author believed to be in possession of a starting point were he could initiate his descriptions of the Universe. But those who follow the grail message "knowledge" up to the end, end up facing a really disconcerting problem. Please explain to the readers: Exactly when, how and why the divine beings themselves came into existence inside a divine sphere that has forever existed? The author says it was THEIR formation that ultimately caused the sedimentation of the "residual" beings (the so-called "little clouds") inside the external edges of the divine realm, whose plea for a conscious existence was presented as the reason to the creation of the Universe. In such sequence of events, the first absent explanation is critical and essential for any TRUE answer. At this point the author deliberately and conveniently presents no explanations, offering to his readers, in fact, TOTALLY SECONDARY REASONS to the origin of Creation!

This absence of answer were solved by the author through a divine decree (a dogma): On what happens inside the heavenly sphere the human beings can not reflect nor understand, because our origin does not allow that. Any attempt would expose, according to the author, the human presumption and arrogance typical of a doomed spirit destined to disappear in the Last Judgment always just about to come ...

Title: Irony and Meaning in the Hebrew Bible

Subtitle: Indiana Studies in Biblical Literature

Author: Carolyn J. Sharp

Narrator: Jason Zenobia

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-02-18

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

Was God being ironic in commanding Eve not to eat fruit from the tree of wisdom? Carolyn J. Sharp suggests that many stories in the Hebrew Scriptures may be ironically intended. Deftly interweaving literary theory and exegesis, Sharp illumines the power of the unspoken in a wide variety of texts from the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Writings. She argues that reading with irony in mind creates a charged and open rhetorical space in the texts that allows character, narration, and authorial voice to develop in unexpected ways.

Main themes explored here include the ironizing of foreign rulers, the prostitute as icon of the ironic gaze, indeterminacy and dramatic irony in prophetic performance, and irony in ancient Israel's wisdom traditions. Sharp devotes special attention to how irony destabilizes dominant ways in which the Bible is read today, especially when it touches on questions of conflict, gender, and the other.

Published by Indiana University Press.

Critic Reviews:

"Engaging, erudite, and rich with insight.... This is a must-read for anyone interested in literary criticism, theory, and the Hebrew Bible." (Timothy K. Beal, Case Western Reserve University)

"This book offers a fascinating exploration of the the presence and the power of irony in the Hebrew bible." (Tony Cartledge, Campbell University Divinity School)

"Carolyn Sharp has offered a magnificent exhibit of the thickness of the Hebrew Bible. Her work is a profound and exquisite invitation to reflect on prophetic imagination in its subtle subversion." (Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary)

What a lovely read. Sharp's prose is gorgeous and thick as she weaves through the multiple levels of irony in biblical stories. Attuned to issues of violence, class, gender, etc., this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the literary and rhetorical dimensions of the Old Testament.

Title: The Initiates of the Flame

Author: Manly Palmer Hall

Narrator: Dennis Logan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-05-17

Publisher: Game Winner LLC

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

Few realize that even at the present stage of civilization in this world, there are souls who, like the priests of the ancient temples, walk the earth and watch and guard the sacred fires that burn upon the altar of humanity. Purified ones they are, who have renounced the life of this sphere in order to guard and protect the Flame, that spiritual principle in man, now hidden beneath the ruins of his fallen temple.

As we think of the nations that are past, of Greece and Rome and the grandeur that was Egypt's, we sigh as we recall the story of their fall; and we watch the nations of today, not knowing which will be the next to draw its shroud around itself and join that great ghostly file of peoples that are dead.

But everywhere, even in the rise and fall of nations, we see through the haze of materiality, justice; everywhere we see reward, not of man but of the invincible One, the eternal Flame. A great hand reaches out from the unseen and regulates the affairs of man. It reaches out from that great spiritual Flame which nourishes all created things, the never dying fire that burns on the sacred altar of Cosmos - that great fire which is the spirit of God. If we turn again to the races now dead, we shall, if we look, find the cause of their destruction. The light had gone out. When the flame within the body is withdrawn, the body is dead. When the light was taken from the altar, the temple was no longer the dwelling place of a living God.

Degeneracy, lust, and passion, hates and fears, crept into the souls of Greece and Rome, and Black Magic overshadowed Egypt; the light upon the altar grew weaker and weaker. The priests lost the Word, the name of the Flame. Little by little the Flame flickered out, and as the last spark grew cold, a mighty nation died, buried beneath the dead ashes of its own spiritual fire. But the Flame did not die. Like spirit of which it is the essence, it cannot die, because it is life, and life cannot cease to be.

Title: What Does Silence Sound Like?

Author: Dan Pedersen

Narrator: Dan Pedersen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-17

Publisher: Dan Pedersen

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

This little audiobook is a reminder that if we want to find ourselves, we need to invite silence into our life.

There's only one place to find the peace we want. And each of us is capable of finding it.

The secret, is silence.

Peace is found in silence, because silence is home. Silence is where truth resides. Silence is where God speaks.

It's not easy to put this idea into words, as words are so rudimentary. Words tell only part of the story. We have to discover these things for ourselves. We have to make room for our own silence. To go beyond the chatter in our mind. To reach the mind beyond the mind.

I hope my words will help lead you there.

Members Reviews:

Silence is key

I like it so much, I listened to it more than once! I might have to listen to it everyday! Thank you so much!

Definitely worth reading

And I will read it again.

I just finished reading WHAT DOES SILENCE SOUND LIKE. I am smiling and bemused

This little book is full of one or two sentence statements that are worth going back and reading it again, picking out the nuggets that are in it.

The nuggets I pick out will be different from yours. But each one will be valuable to think about -.

Don't read this if you are looking for a logical explanation of silence. But, if you are wanting to have

your mind stimulated and tweaked by thoughts about silence...then try this.

Lovely short read

Even just reading this book returns me to silence. Such a quick un-burdensome read that reaches deep and speaks with simple wisdom and truth. Whatever or whomever we believe in, this applies to all of us. If we took the time to digest and integrate this in our lives, the world would be a very different place.

Silent in coordination with God

This pamphlet describes why silence is a good thing to be able to achieve. Being able to remove yourself from the ongoing babbling of the world is a life skill to be practiced. The author views this learning through the lens of a relationship with God. This can be a good thing for most people. But not all but I came away feeling put off.

Hit or miss chapters

There are a few good and creepy stories in this book. Unfortunately, they get mixed in with stories about people who lose things and then find them later on, fairies, and stories that are so ridiculous there is no way they are remotely true. I also found it pretty tasteless to bring up 9/11 by saying demons were there, etc.

The narration is decent. Some of the voices he uses can be grating though.

Overall, not as good as any of the Warren books.
