Skousen provides historical context and a clear...

Americans living in virgin wilderness in the first half of the nineteenth century became convinced that the kingdom of God prophesied in the book of Isaiah had finally come to pass. In celebration of the dawning of a new age they gathered in communal societies, built villages, and sought to live holy lives. Far less well-known than the Civil War, the idealism of this era is a fascinating and vital part of American history.

In the 1840s one of these communities sent missionaries to England. A young man named Jesse Griffen had his heart inflamed with the promise of a place in America...

The ministry of Jesus has been celebrated by billions of people over the last two millennia. Perhaps no single person has transformed the world more. Many believe that the ministry of Jesus ended two thousand years ago. But if Jesus represents the divine eternal, might He be speaking to us today? Amazingly, the answer is “yes!”

In his groundbreaking work, Roy L. Hill provides a unique perspective of Jesus by people who interacted with Him during near death experiences. Their stories are noteworthy due to the high consistency between hundreds of reports. Indeed, research...

Italian Catholic priest, an...
