Loosely based on an experience in Joseph Conrad's life, this short novel tells the story of one man's journey into darkest Africa--and the darkness of the human heart. Both thoughtful and compelling, The Heart of Darkness takes measure of "the thin line between civilization and barbarity." Virginia Woolf wrote of Conrad, "His books are full of moments of vision. They light up a whole character in a flash. . . . He could not write badly, one feels, to save his life."

The Book of Mormon is filled with Hebrew-style poetic parallelisms, including chiasmus. This volume rearranges the entire text to highlight those parallelisms. These forms of expression present the book in an unforgettable and fascinating way.

Chiasmus is a form of poetry where ideas are expressed and then repeated in reverse order. Ancient Hebrew poetic writing is filled with chiasmus. For example, the Old Testament has hundreds of chiasms. A simple example of chiasmus is found in Matthew 23:12:A Whosoever exalteth himself B Shall be abased; B And he that humbleth himselfA Shall be exalted.Significantly, chiasmus is also frequently found in the Book of Mormon, which also, ultimately, has ancient Hebrew origins. Book of Mormon Chiasmus brings together nearly three hundred extraordinary examples of chiasmus found in this holy scripture.This book will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone who loves the Book of Mormon and desires a deeper understanding of its connections to the Hebrew world.

In the spring of 1820, a fourteen-year-old boy in upstate New York witnessed one of the most transcendent visions in all recorded history. The boy was named Joseph Smith, and in response to an earnest prayer, he saw a glorious manifestation of God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ.In that encounter, Joseph was told that his sins were forgiven--and that the Lord had appointed him to do a vital work on the earth.That vision was followed by others, and it therefore came to be called the First Vision.This book brings together several accounts of the vision that Joseph personally shared during his lifetime. It also features a new, single-narrative harmony of those accounts, published here for the first time.Other sections of the book present accounts of the vision given by those who personally knew Joseph Smith, followed by teachings and testimonies of others, including prophets and apostles.The Heavens Were Opened: Joseph Smith's First Vision will be a valued addition to any Latter-day Saint library and an essential resource for the study of the First Vision of the founding prophet of this dispensation, Joseph Smith.

Joseph Smith was a prophet of God just like Moses or Abraham or Nephi or John the Baptist.But he wasn't always a prophet.When he was a boy, he helped his father on their farm. He sold root beer out of his parents' store. He played with his brothers and friends in the fields.When he was seven, he had a horrible leg infection. The doctors had to cut deeply into his leg to save his life.He lived in a log cabin that had only two rooms, plus an attic.Then, when he was fourteen, he was visited by God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. They called him to be a prophet. Following their instructions, he organized the church and gave us the Book of Mormon.But a prophet doesn't spend all his time reading the scriptures and teaching the people.Joseph met a beautiful lady named Emma and married her.He stopped the horses on a runaway stagecoach, saving the people inside.He played with children whenever he could, and he wrestled with the older boys.And, sadly, he spent much of his time trying to stay away from people who hated the truth and wanted to kill him.This is the story of Joseph Smith, the boy who became a prophet. It tells what he was like, what his family was like, and what happened in his life.Fully illustrated.

The Book of Mormon is filled with parallelisms, a form of ancient poetry. The poetic patterns serve, as they do in the Bible, to structure and emphasize messages, define and expand them, and make them more memorable. One form of parallelism, chiasmus, has been extensively studied; the Book of Mormon has an abundance of chiasmus, as well as other forms of parallelism. The prophets of the Book of Mormon were inspired in their stylistic choices, employing word combinations that greatly expand our understanding of what they had to say. In the process, they used more than 25 different types of parallelism--and those forms were transmitted to us through the translation of the Book of Mormon from its ancient language into English (and subsequently into other languages).Poetic Parallelisms in the Book of Mormon: The Complete Text Reformatted gives us the entire Book of Mormon in a new format. Parts of the book are presented in narrative form (which typically doesn't use parallelisms), but this volume also arranges in their poetic form 325 instances of chiasmus and hundreds of additional parallel structures.Reading the Book of Mormon in this format will heighten our understanding and deepen our appreciation of this marvelous book of scripture.
