My Library (in part)
Today I wanted to give you some information that took me years to collect. It is some of my favorite books that I have used in my research about death and the Spirit world. I have read everything I could find since I was 16 years old. Some I loved and re-read and kept for my library, some I read and gave away, some were library books. One thing that I have found is I love my faith! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has the most complete and plentiful information in regard to this subject anywhere in the world.
Check out their web site if you want more information.
LDS.org- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
As stated in the 13 Article of Faith “If there is anything hvirtuous, ilovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
I know that through my research that I have discovered wonderful things from good people that have added to my knowledge. I just get very frustrated when I have more knowledge at my fingertips and I want to settle for less? Makes no sense to me, but I believe we can all add to the conversation of life in meaningful ways. I do not believe in the phrase, “it is just the mystery of God and we do not question.” One the first page of my website I use a quote from Joseph Smith that states my belief and love for my Father in Heaven perfectly.
All men know that they must die…
It is but reasonable to suppose that God would reveal something in reference to the matter, and it is a subject we ought to study more than any other.- Joseph Smith
Our Father in Heaven wants us to know and research this topic of discussion for it is something we will all have to address at some point in our existence. And I love that there is so much wonderful information out there. But I have had a unique blessing of regular communication with my son. He has taught me many things but mostly reaffirmed the information that I have learned through my years of study.
