In 1878, Elder Joseph Standing traveled into the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia, seeking converts for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sixteen months later, he was dead, murdered by a group of twelve men. The church refused to bury the missionary in Georgia soil; instead, he was laid to rest in Salt Lake City beneath a monument that declared, "There is no law in Georgia for the Mormons." Most accounts of this event have linked Standing's murder to the virulent nineteenth-century anti-Mormonism that also took the life of prophet Joseph Smith and to an enduring southern tradition of extralegal violence. In these writings, the stories of the men who took Standing's life are largely ignored, and they are treated as significant only as vigilantes who escaped justice. Historian Mary Ella Engel adopts a different approach, arguing that the mob violence against Standing was a local event, best understood at the local level. Her examination of Standing's murder carefully situates it in the disquiet created by missionaries' successes in the North Georgia community. As Georgia converts typically abandoned the state for Mormon colonies in the West, a disquiet situated within a wider narrative of post-Reconstruction Mormon outmigration to colonies in the West. In this rich context, the murder reveals the complex social relationships that linked North Georgians--families, kin, neighbors, and coreligionists--and illuminates how mob violence attempted to resolve the psychological dissonance and gender anxieties created by Mormon missionaries. In laying bare the bonds linking Georgia converts to the mob, Engel reveals Standing's murder as more than simply mountain lawlessness or religious persecution. Rather, the murder responds to the challenges posed by the separation of converts from their loved ones, especially the separation of women and their dependents from heads of households.

Often we view prayer as an activity reserved for a certain time, in a certain place, offered in a specific way. But Scripture encourages us to pray continually. This exhortation is an opportunity for prayer to permeate every aspect of our lives--when we're alone or in a crowd, when it's quiet and when it's chaotic, when we feel like it and when we don't. Praying with Eyes Wide Open shows us how to make continuous prayer a natural part of our lives rather than something on our daily spiritual checklist. It helps us encounter God in new ways as we learn to - open our eyes to see his presence and the world around us - open our ears to hear his voice - open our hearts to experience freedom and power as we pray - and open our lives as we pray for and with others Anyone desiring a richer, more transformative prayer life will welcome this fresh take on conversing with our Creator.

God's Spirit Lives in You. Do you believe it? What's more, are you experiencing His power in your life? All too often we settle for merely learning about God rather than experiencing the present reality of His Spirit. But you have access to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit right now and if you want to live out your Christian faith with vibrancy and authenticity, it is essential that you get to know Him. Father, Son, and the Other One addresses the vital importance of the Holy Spirit in your life and shows you how to experience His presence as a transforming, empowering reality. If you have ever wondered if the Christian faith is more than mere creeds, doctrines and denominations, or if you long to know that the Jesus of history still lives and dwells in you by the Spirit of God, or if you struggle to tap into God's presence as a transforming, empowering reality, this book is for you.

Life is a battleground and it is a fundamental truth that we all encounter painful experiences in life that leave us paralyzed one way or another and as we journey through life, we are marred by self-inflicted limitations. Limitations are circumstances that restrain or restrict our movements in life. Some are spiritual limitations while some are self-imposed limitations, which is as a result of past experiences. A limited man is a restricted man and limitations are designed to prevent many from living the abundant life already made available for them through the finished works of Christ. In order to live a limitless life, we must make a conscious effort to shatter the limitations that are holding us back and this book is compiled to help you understand that self-inflicted limitations are destructive, detrimental and causes life to derail. We must not set limitations on ourselves based on the challenges we encounter in life. To help you understand that regardless of the obstacles that may present themselves in our lives, we must consciously go after our dreams fearlessly and not be afraid to break barriers and push forward towards our destiny. It is also compiled to help you understand that freedom is not the absence of limitations but the choice as to what you choose to restrain and restrict your progress because ultimately your freedom is in your hands.
