Talmage continued to publish new editions of the book throughout his life as new academic research and church revelations became available. It sold out quickly, along with a second edition. “Jesus the Christ” was first published in September 1915. Holzapfel said it is hard to determine the total number of copies sold because other publishers continued to print the book after its copyright expired. 1- selling book in church history, with over 1 million copies sold,” said Richard Holzapfel, Ph.D., BYU religion professor and former mission president. “If you don’t count the Standard Works, it’s probably is the no. To celebrate the centennial year of “Jesus The Christ,” two BYU religion scholars will examine the book - chapter by chapter - during the annual campus Education Week. Yet he wrote one of the most enduring works ever published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Talmage was a scientist, not a bible scholar. Talmage was a chemist and geologist who was asked to turn his intellect to writing about LDS doctrine including works like “Jesus The Christ” and “Articles of Faith.” ![]()

![]() ![]() In this book the reader can’t help but experience Harpie’s life the way it is because she shares all the garbage and the unsightly secrets of her soul, as well as that which is wonderful and fascinating. Harpie’s been abused physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually all her life, but she’s still standing, marching to the centre of the ring every time the bell signals in a new round, eyeballing the opposition as if screaming, ‘Come on life. Her son’s being violently bullied by boys five years his senior, she’s got a house full of animals, including polecats that bite, and she’s desperately searching for love. This is a radical step when it comes to losing weight, but Harpie is if nothing else radical and extreme. We join author Harpie after having most of her stomach and intestines removed in a gastric by-pass, all of which means she doesn’t get physically hungry at all. This isn’t Nine and a Half Weeks or Indecent Proposal. Harpie’s novels are always written in diary format, and this book doesn’t get sexually graphic until January 24th. This isn’t one of those fashionably erotic books where the guy’s got a six-pack and a penis that twangs harder than a piano string. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Organized by the major geographical sections of the city-Ile de la Cite the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank Montparnasse Northern Paris on the Right Bank the Marais-each chapter is accompanied by Marion Ranoux’s beautiful four-color photographs. Stand in the basilica of Saint-Denis, where Joan of Arc prayed with her soldiers in the Hundred Years' War, and gaze at the murals of Saint-Sulpice painted by Eugene Delacroix, or visit the village of Auvers where Vincent van Gogh painted the lovely Gothic church of Notre Dame d’Auvers-sur-Oise. This spiritual tour is interwoven with the artistic and cultural history of Paris, from the medieval Crusades through the Resistance of World War II. Susan Cahill's Sacred Paris is a guide for seasoned Parisian visitors, novices, and armchair travelers to the historic religious sites of the city, from the well-known landmarks to the sacred spots off the beaten track, from the magnificent towers of Notre-Dame and the sweeping arches of the Grand Mosque to the serenity of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre. It holds a sacred history that goes beyond words, beyond religion, and its legendary places of worship are truly its crown jewels. When visiting the City of Light, the spirit of Paris can be felt everywhere. From the author of Hidden Gardens of Paris and The Streets of Paris comes a beautifully illustrated guide to the history of Paris through its renowned and beloved places of worship. ![]() ![]() ABOUT THE AUTHORĪct Your Age, Eve Brown is the third (and possibly final) novel in The Brown Sisters Series, the first being Get a Life, Chloe Brown which I wrote about for my August Book of the Month post!

Swift, who was a reporter for the Virginian-Pilot, now teaching at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, spent a year (2016-17) asking questions, listening, getting to know the local families and traditions, crabbing, attending church, and going to daily afternoon gatherings with crabbers to talk weather, crabs, erosion, or government (in what they call “The Situation Room”). Swift’s book covers these challenges thoroughly, but it covers much more for those who love the Chesapeake, care about its heritage, treasure the seafood, and respect the whims of time and tide. The National Geographic, New York Times, New Yorker, Washington Post, Politico, and CNN have all run stories about the disappearing island’s challenges due to erosion and climate change. ![]() Tangier has received more attention in recent years than you’d expect of a remote island with a population now under 500.
