 | Life of Our Lord
Charles Dickens wrote THE LIFE OF OUR LORD for his children. He set it down in his own hand for their eyes alone during the years to 1846 to 1849, about the time he was completing DAVID COPPERFIELD. For eighty-five years the manuscript was read only by family members, and was passed down from one relative to the next, with the admonition that it should not be published while any child of Dickens lived. When Charles's youngest son, Sir Henry Fielding, died just before the 1933 Christmas holiday, he left the manuscript to his survivors and freed them to permit its publication. Thus, THE LIFE OF OUR LORD went to press and became an immediate bestseller. In this little-known treasure, Dickens expresses his great faith and humility by retelling the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ in a very simple narrative. Just as it was a tradition in the Dickens family to read THE LIFE OF OUR LORD each year at Christmastime, so will today's readers be inspired to make this beautiful volume an important part of their own family celebrations.

 | The Prophet Puzzle by Bryan Waterman
Unraveling the complexities of Joseph Smith`s character and motives is difficult, but before the puzzle can be solved, all the pieces must be gathered and correctly interpreted. Parts of the picture are still missing only because they have been overlooked, ignored, or mishandled -- pieces which reveal previously hidden features of Smith`s complex, conflicted, and gifted personality. Some of the contributors to this anthology look at the religious side of the prophet and explore his inner, spiritual world. Others look at secular issues. Some view the relevance of his activity as a treasure seer, since this is one part of the puzzle that has not been fully investigated by Mormons generally. In pursuing the prophet puzzle, contributors seek to understand Joseph Smith, not to judge him, knowing that he is an enigma for believer and skeptic alike. As non-Mormon historian Jan Shipps, contributor to this collection, observes, The mystery of Mormonism cannot be solved until we solve the mystery of Joseph Smith . AUTHOR: Bryan Waterman
