The Foundations of Scriptural Understanding
Scriptural Reference and Exploration Series, Volume 1: Foundations of Scriptural Understanding serves as a beginning for scriptural studies introduced in succeeding volumes focusing on the foundations and principles for understanding biblical literature. A description of man’s relationships with the universe; covenants, their composition and purpose, with attendant ordinances are considered as a prelude to the dispensation of the Mosaic Law followed by the names, signs, tokens, seasons, festivals, and feasts that are predictive of the promised Messiah. This volume also delves into a fuller description of the Messiah and his missions as described through Israelite patriarchal blessings. Throughout the writings are references to the ancient tabernacles, sanctuaries, and temple worship. Drawing from the best available resources, these words of instruction will help the readers better understand the culture, settings, and customs of those who wrote the scriptures. It is written for the lay reader as well as for scholars who desire an additional resource.
My Best for the Kingdom: History and Autobiography of John Lowe Butler, a Mormon Frontiersman
""My Best for the Kingdom provides a valuable history of several little-known events in early Mormon history--the Church in Tennessee and Kentucky in the 1830s, the Danites in Missouri, Mormon resistance to Missouri persecutions, ... the James Emmett expedition, [and] pioneer Spanish Fork, Utah...John L. Butler's autobiography, given here in full, rivals and adds to the accounts of Hosea Stout and John D. Lee in telling the Mormon story of the 1830s, '40s, and '50s. Butler was a valiant militiaman, missionary, frontiersman, and bishop. A fast-moving, informative, well-researched and well-told account of Mormonism on the frontier...and pioneer Utah.""--Leonard J. Arrington quoted on the back outside jacket.

Desert Patriarchy
On the high desert plateau of northern Mexico, outsiders have taken refuge from the secular world. Here three Anglo communities of Mormons and Mennonites have ordered their lives around male supremacy, rigid religious duty, and a rejection of modern technology and culture. In so doing, they have successfully adapted to this harsh desert environment. Janet Bennion has lived and worked among these people, and in this book she introduces a new paradigmÑ"desert patriarchy"Ñto explain their way of life. This perspective sheds light not only on these particular communities but also on the role of the desert environment in the development and maintenance of fundamentalist ideology in other parts ...
My Own Pioneers 1830-1918
Follow the fascinating true stories of one family through the Mormon pioneer era—stories that follow four generations and several of the author’s family lines as they and their fellow pioneers help shape the early history of the Mormon Church, the American West, and even Mexico. This memorable journey is the culmination of fifteen years of painstaking research as the author carefully reconstructs the pioneer struggles from before 1830 to 1918 using information from family journals, memoirs, histories and letters. Volume III (The Last Pioneers/Refuge in Mexico, 1876-1918) concludes the family history by explaining how polygamous family pioneers moved from Utah to settle Arizona and New Me...
