The author demonstrates that the Book of Mormon is a native Mesoamerican book (or codex) that exhibits what one would expect of a historical document produced in the context of ancient Mesoamerican civilization.

"In this great, eternal work, mothers have carried the torch of faith and family from the beginning. The need for that torch to burn brightly and dispel darkness has never been greater," writes Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Filled with hope and encouragement, their message will resonate mothers in all of life¿s stages.

This book contains proceedings of the Inspiring Service panel-a significant collaboration of members of various Christian traditions (Roman Catholic, Methodist, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Anglican) in dialogue at the University Church, Oxford, under the umbrella of Oxford University Faculty of Theology and Religion. The English Reformations and more recently the Oxford Movement witness profound theological and spiritual conflict. At Christmas 2018, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland and Sister Patricia Holland arrived and triggered a different Oxford Movement-marked by listening, understanding, dialogue, and friendship. Elder Holland spoke at the university and in Pembroke Chapel at a Nine Lessons and Carols celebration. Eminent speakers from the Catholic, Anglican, and non-Conformist traditions joined him to commit enthusiastically to common service and exploration, and an agenda has been set for further dialogue, action, and deeper friendships. Archbishop Rowan Williams, Lord David Alton, and the Revd. Professor Frances Young were among the contributors, whose words, with the subsequent discussion, are all gathered here.
