We have been advised to “Keep a history . . . of all things that transpire” (D&C 85:1). I hope that my record will have longterm value for our children, their spouses, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I have tried to express my gratitude and goals, and deep love, for each member of this remarkable family. I have described our beliefs, traditions, successes, challenges, and the special miracles that we have experienced. We have been blessed, with many great events in our lives and at times in which we have felt divine guidance and infl uence, for which we are very grateful. This history has given me an opportunity to relive memorable experiences and learn more about myself and what I consider to be the most important aspects of mortal life and my eternal potential. I hope that my history helps those that I love understand me better and infl uences their lives.
Sexual abuse is a nightmare no child or adult should experience. However, this horror continues to exist, and the terrifying part is that the perpetrators are individuals the victims thought they could trust. La-Rhonda Courtney courageously shares her experiences as a victim of sexual abuse in the hands of those she thought would never hurt her. At the age of six, she was molested by her then thirteen-year-old cousin, and it happened in a place where she felt safe and secure, in a trusted relative’s house. Enduring the pain alone, she was transformed from a bubbly child into a neurotic individual, helpless and full of rage. But she realized she didn’t have to suffer in silence and it was not the end of the world, as she found solace in the knowledge that God is always with her. Now she makes it her life’s mission to aid victims like her to get back on their feet and take control of their life once again.

War memorials are symbols of a community’s sense of itself, the values it holds dear, and its collective memory. They inform us more, perhaps, about the period in which the memorials were erected than the period of the war itself. Kelly McMichael, in her book, Sacred Memories: The Civil War Monument Movement in Texas, takes the reader on a tour of Civil War monuments throughout the state and in doing so tells the story of each monument and its creation. McMichael explores Texans’ motivations for erecting Civil War memorials, which she views as attempts during a period of turmoil and uncertainty—“severe depression, social unrest, the rise of Populism, mass immigration, urbanization, industrialization, imperialism, lynching, and Jim Crow laws”—to preserve the memory of the Confederate dead, to instill in future generations the values of patriotism, duty, and courage; to create a shared memory and identity “based on a largely invented story”; and to “anchor a community against social and political doubt.” Her focus is the human story of each monument, the characters involved in its creation, and the sacred memories held dear to them.
In Spaces for the Sacred, Philip Sheldrake brilliantly reveals the connection between our rootedness in the places we inhabit and the construction of our personal and religious identities. Based on the prestigious Hulsean Lectures he delivered at the University of Cambridge, Sheldrake's book examines the sacred narratives which derive from both overtly religious sites such as cathedrals, and secular ones, like the Millennium Dome, and it suggests how Christian theological and spiritual traditions may contribute creatively to current debates about place.
From a severe electrical injury that brought about a "near life experience" and ignited his sixth sense, to the recurring dream that changed the course of his life, best-selling author, award winning talk radio host and producer, internationally known speaker, and popular TEDx presenter John St. Augustine has been on an incredible journey. This collection of true-life experiences, includes profound life lessons that can be learned when we open up to the energy of the Universe, push past the boundaries of our beliefs, and allow ourselves to be filled with a greater sense of wonder, faith and the absolute knowing that we are never really alone.
It is the wonders that lie on the other side of haze that makes someone a seeker, a sage , a pilgrim at heart. At every step, it becomes a deepening into the sea of silence, delving into the unmoving for it is not a journey of your body alone, but a journey of your spirit. It then becomes a pilgrimage of your soul. The soundless maze pulls you deeper into the bliss from the lips of heaven, for in not knowing the unknowable lies the acceptance that there is something far reaching of a colossal beauty that is beyond our understanding. We can only attempt to walk through the mystery, but a part of it may always be beyond our grasp. Still the walk we must take, for in it is the fulfillment of the body and soul. The purpose of this pilgrimage is to capture the eternity at every moment for no moment comes back again, and you never get another chance at life. It is in this spiritual odyssey, that you live to your fullest as from your wearied self, flowers shall grow again and your fragrance will release for you will sense the spell of eternity. Every moment will be a meeting point where you are brought home to yourself, for the wonders will light your eyes. You have finally found the secret of living for living on the earth, you remain above the earth, as what goes around, does not confine you. You remain in a splendor, eternal it is for your soul has sensed an enchantment in silence.
