New Releases by Alan Armstrong

David Alan Armstrong found Jesus Christ in a most unexpected place—sitting in church. One simple sermon by a lay member of his congregation awakened a recognition of the need for a Redeemer, a need that had lain dormant for more than twenty years after his baptism at the age of fifteen. Thirty years after that revelatory moment, the author shares his journey toward a living faith in Jesus as the living Savior. His personal story unfolds as he follows the biblical account of Christ’s public ministry recorded in the Book of St. Matthew. The focus is not on Jesus’s sermons and preaching, but on His actions. Every act of Christ was intentional and designed to reinforce His teachings. Rather than discuss Jesus’s parables, this book presents the Savior’s life as a series of informative, living parables. Each chapter quotes a selection of verses from Matthew describing an event in Jesus’s mortal ministry. A brief analysis of the event follows, putting it in context and elaborating on the meanings that can be derived from what Jesus did. The author then relates how the principle has played out in his life. The result is the author’s personal testimony of how studying Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection has brought him closer to Christ as he walks the covenant path.

This book is a compilation of selected verses from the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Accompanying each verse is a thought and comment to expound on the meaning and significance of the scripture to the author. This book is not intended as a doctrinal dissertation but a collection of inspirational messages of hope, comfort, faith, strength, and grace. The fullness of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ is contained in the Book of Mormon. The author has highlighted only a few verses that reflected the depth and richness of the Doctrine of Christ and the glorious principles of His gospel. The Book of Mormon is the keystone of the religion of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The hope for this book is that it will inspire both those who are completely familiar with the Book of Mormon and those who perhaps have never opened its pages. The selected verses will feel like old friends to those who have studied this volume of scripture, and the accompanying commentary may spur new thoughts and different perspectives. To those not yet acquainted with the Book of Mormon, these passages may serve as an introduction to the vastness of truths contained in this book of revelation. In any case, the author desires to share his love of the Book of Mormon, his testimony of its truthfulness and authenticity, and his love of the Savior and Redeemer of the world, Jesus Christ, who is the central figure in the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

Biography of bagpipe composer and author John Grant (1876-1961) based on his own writings and received letters.

All my life I have heard people say that the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament is impenetrable, enigmatic, and indecipherable. Yet some of the most sublime and oft-quoted prophecies of the Messiah came from the quill of Isaiah, If it is so full of powerful prophecies and promises of hope that should cause us to rejoice, why do people say it is so hard to understand? Why would the Lord hide His greatest statements in a book that no one wants to read? I finally decided I wanted to know for myself what was contained in this mysterious collection of writings. I determined to rea Isaiah in the LDS Church edition of the King James Version word for word, verse for verse, and see for myself what it had to say. This is not a scholarly work in the tradition sense. The reader will find no footnotes or endnotes to corroborate my musings and conclusions. My intent in undertaking this study was not to learn what others had to say about Isaiah, but to learn for myself throuugh the instrumentality of the Holy Ghost what Isaiah''s message is to me personally.--Back cover.
