The Standard Works are surprisingly clear, yet concise, in answering the question, Does life exist on planets other than Earth? The universe is immense and filled with "kingdoms," as latter-day revelation informs us: "And there are many kingdoms; for there is no space in which there is no kingdom; and there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a greater or a lesser kingdom." (Doctrine and Covenants 88:37.) As God revealed the immensity and substance of His kingdom and dominion to Moses, he began to gain an appreciation of the magnitude of the creative works of God. "And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son created I them, which is mine Only Begotten. And the first man of all men have I called Adam, which is many. But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you. For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away by the word of my power. And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them." (Moses 1:33-35) This scripture clarifies the truth of a number of important Gospel topics. Not only does the revelation proclaim the existence of other life-sustaining planets and the existence of life on those planets, it informs us that humans, children of our Heavenly Father, live on those planets.

Human Experience explores different aspects of the human mental nomenclature, our mental makeup. What can we learn from Adam and Eve's act of disobedience and the consequences passed down through the human experience? Dive into studies of the negative and positive structures that exist in humanity. At the core of our existence, "we are spiritual beings on a human journey and not human beings on a spiritual journey." This book reveals the true human experience as we struggle with the knowledge of GOOD and EVIL, as well as the pros and cons of who we are.

Sacrifice is a part of life. There are many things we seek that require us to give up things we have possession of already. The act of correcting a life that started wrong requires sacrifice. It is taught and it is lived. Still, it is the art of obedience that must be taught and must be put into practice. Obedience relieves the need for sacrifice in many situations.

The Word of God's full purpose is to teach, correct, and establish a Kingdom mindset. Satan, the devil - whatever you want to call our mortal enemy - does not want this to happen. Even though he is a defeated foe, he is busy at work seeking to deceive anyone he can so he can accuse them before God as being sinners without the hope of redemption. He is a liar whose only purpose is to oppose God. The enemy's plan is to steal, kill, and destroy. To steal our joy in serving God by trials of financial burdens or relationship issues (Adam and Eve). To kill the spirit of life given to us by God, to kill the breath of God which is the Holy Spirit, to kill the Spirit's influence in our lives. To destroy the very foundation of God's Kingdom before it can become a physical reality. To contaminate the minds of all of God's creation. All of his children. God's Kingdom begins in our heart and this is where His will must be done. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through to the pulling down of strong holds... 2 Corinthians 10:4

Salvation is often proclaimed but rarely understood. And in these times when religion is confusing, varied and corrupt, can a person ever know the truth? Dr. James Thompson brings back sound biblical teaching and guidance to help you see victory in life, work and ministry. It is by understanding the fullness of the sacrifice of Christ that you stop accepting failure as an option or defeat as a possibility. Your victory has already been paid for.

Narratives of Architectural Education provides an overview of life as an architecture student, detailing how a layperson may develop an architectural identity. This book proposes becoming an architect as a personal narrative of professional development structured around various stages and challenges associated with identity transformation.

This book provides previously unexamined insights into not just the academic development of an architect, but also the holistic and experiential aspects of architectural education. It would be ideal for those in the educational field of architecture, to include students, educators, interns, and mentors.

James Thompson's incomparable Inspector Vaara is back in a new chilling Nordic mystery. An Estonian woman begs Inspector Kari Vaara to find her daughter, Loviise, a young woman with Down syndrome who was promised work and a better life in Finland... and has since disappeared. One more missing girl is a drop in the barrel for a police department that is understaffed and overburdened, but for Kari, the case is personal: it's a chance for redemption, to help the victims his failed black-ops unit was intended to save, and to prove to his estranged wife, Kate, that he's still the man he once was. His search will lead him from the glittering world of Helsinki's high-class clubs to the darkest circles of Finland's underground trade in trafficked women and straight into the path of Loviise's captors, who may be some of the most untouchable people in the country.
