The Threshing-Floor Of Faith: Enduring To The End

There is a movement today affecting the Latter-day Saint youth and seasoned adults causing many to fall away from the faith of their fathers. The "Threshing Floor of Faith" takes a look into the causes of this spiritual calamity that has or will affect almost every family in the Church. Often parents cannot understand why active children are choosing to leave their faith with a distrust for the Church and priesthood leaders. Many adults are also falling away disgruntled with the Church organization that was restored by revelation and the Prophet Joseph Smith. There are questions being presented and asked that seem to be unanswerable, yet, there are answers found in scripture. Part I of this book will take a look at the purpose of the Church organization and the responsibilities of the priesthood and its leaders and where the foundation of testimony should lay. "The Threshing Floor of Faith" will use the scriptures to present information and doctrine that could be used for a lasting and enduring testimony, not only in Christ but also the organization that is to administer His Gospel. Part II will address some of the questions that are causing many to turn from the faith they once embraced, using the scriptures to answer the questions. "The Threshing Floor of Faith" will address questions and present scriptural answers to topics such as: * Science and Religion; creation and scripture, * Translations of the Book of Abraham and the Book of Mormon,* Past restrictions of the Priesthood,* Polygamy,* Women and the Priesthood, * Same sex attraction, * And others.The scriptures are the best commentary on the scriptures rather than opinions, traditions and interpretations; and this book will use that standard of scripture as the foundation from which to build faith and testimony. No one reached the Tree of Life in the dream of Lehi except by the 'Iron Rod,' nevertheless; many fell away even after having partaken of the fruit. The center and foundation of all faith must be in Jesus Christ and the Atonement. "The Threshing Floor of Faith" is written for the faithful and those questioning their faith, presenting a view that connects the questions causing doubt, the organization of the Church and its Priesthood Leaders to the Atonement and Gospel of Jesus Christ.
