"Latter-day Liberty"

The New Hampshire GOP Presidential Primary provided momentum for three candidates: 2 Mormons and 1 libertarian Constitutionalist.

The LDS community has always rejoiced when Mormons achieve mainstream success.  But should they rejoice about the showing of a Republican who is a very libertarian leaning conservative, Ron Paul?

Many young Mormons shout, "Yes!"  Passionate young men and women insist that the natural LDS political philosophy is libertarianism. In a recently published book that is selling like hotcakes, Latter-Day Liberty: A Gospel Approach to Government and Politics, BYU graduate Connor Boyack declares:

"American Latter-day Saints once were mostly Democrats, and now they have tied themselves by and large to the mast of the Republican Party. This book will discuss why Latter-day Saints might instead consider associating themselves with a political philosophy that is both grounded in the gospel and tied to true principles. That political philosophy is popularly identified by a single word: liberty".

Christmas at Temple Square

If you are anywhere near Utah, during the season of Advent, you will want to make a trip to Salt Lake City and Temple Square.  The light display is beautiful and unlike any other in the nation. There are millions of lights, reflecting pools, and nativity scenes.  You can even view the display from above, from the top floor of the Joseph Smith Building, where there are also free Christmas musical programs all day long.

Hope you can visit this year!

The Cleansing of America

One of the best books I've read this year is the new book by W. Cleon Skousen, author of the bestseller, "The Five Thousand Year Leap". His newest book, "The Cleansing of America" is a sequel to "The Majesty of God's Law", and was just published by his family. (Skousen passed away in 2006) He told his family he didn't feel comfortable about going public with the book until "the time was right." This book deals with prophecy and the latter days.

Before Skousen passed, his family asked him when that "right time" to publish the book would be, and he said, "You will know. It will be dark time when the Constitution is being abandoned, when economic turmoil boils on every level of society and government. It will be a time when people give up hope." (from Preface to "The Cleansing of America")

This is a book you need to read!
