"The oak can develop itself, the lion feels its strength through its nerves, but the human has sunk down to the delusion that nature is too stingy towards him, and had only given him alone no positive powers and no innate growth. The human has like any other creature his peculiar stamp; when he does not blur this, he gets to know nature and himself. But when he loses it, then he can indeed play with words and expressions learnt by rote, but he will obtain no sparks of pure knowledge and truth. The truth of humanity is based on the consciousness of immortality!"To show how to obtain the consciousness of immortality, Krebs describes by way of examples a form of letter mysticism composed of the concentrated thinking and feeling of letters through the parts of the body.

People always wonder how a book like this comes to be . . .McArthur: I have spoken of Heavenly Mother to thousands of women. Every single time, I see the Spirit move women with such power. Women get lit on fire! I was thinking about what Mother in Heaven means to every single person, and I wanted to hear their voices. Ashli: I had a project on my heart. I felt inspired to create a book of poetry about Heavenly Mother that included the stunning artwork of Latter-day Saints who are inspired by this doctrine, a sort of "Grown-Up Girl's Guide to Heavenly Mother." For months, the Spirit prompted me to reach out to McArthur and I finally sent her a message. We spoke on the phone and gave ourselves twenty-four hours to pray about it. I fasted and went to the temple. As I enteredthe Celestial room and sat down to pray, the revelation came. "yes, Ashli! This joyful doctrine is true. This is our work. Write the book. Just make sure you are still pointing people to Christ." I called McArthur from the car and shared this revelation. She went quiet for a few moments, then replied, "Wow. I got the same revelation. Let's get to work!"Trina: I saw a social media post from McArthur and Ashli asking for contributions for a new Heavenly Mother book, and immediately wanted to be part of the project. I'm a writer and editor so that's a typical reaction to seeing book proposals. But this time felt different. It was a prompting I've had before: the Spirit points and says, "There. Go. Right now." And I am restless until I follow through. I'm not a poet or an artist, but I can organize the heck out of manuscripts. Within minutes, I sent McArthur a message. In a few more minutes, my phone rang and that was that.Joined together, we asked: What does Heavenly Mother mean to each of us? What does Heavenly Mother mean to others? This is not a book of doctrine. This is not a book of speculation. This is not a book intendedto answer all, or any, spiritual questions. This is a book of musings of the soul. Everyone was welcome to contribute. Every person is a beloved child of Heavenly Mother and Father, and that means something different toeach of us! The mediums of poetry and art are just two of many ways for us to communicate spiritually. If our Heavenly Parents are infinite beings, then there are infinite touch points to honor Them.We organized the contributions around the Gospel Topics Essay "Mother in Heaven," to support study of that vital document. We also included scriptures and quotes from prophets and other Church leaders to help guide us. The Church is the "scaffolding" to our faith, but we want to be clear that the vignettes are personal. We hope the offerings within these pages bring joy to your soul. You have a Mother in Heaven!

As a niche field, pilgrimage studies has long been multidisciplinary and draws interest from pilgrims, practitioners, and academic scholars. Despite the burgeoning corpus of pilgrimage literature, there is a gap related to disciplinary-specific publications which reflect how pilgrimage is conceptualised and studied by academics. Moreover, many academic publications assume the reader is familiar with particular research methods and/or theoretical paradigms that inform the work, which is often not the case. The goal of the current volume is to present a foundational text for understanding various disciplines that contribute to the field of pilgrimage studies and to bridge the gulf between academic scholarship and ¿popular¿ pilgrimage literature. To this end, each chapter is organised in a similar format, which includes an overview of the discipline or field of study, a brief history, and the types of questions that are addressed by the discipline. Building on this foundation, the chapters include a section on contemporary literature pertaining to pilgrimage or pilgrimage-like phenomena. Authors further consider theoretical perspectives and methodological concerns. Finally, authors explore recommendations for future research and/or directions for advanced exploration. The volume includes chapters from disciplines formerly silent on pilgrimage phenomena such as public administration, information studies, and digital humanities.

We all go through seasons of waiting, times when God just seems to have closed His ears to us and turned His back. During those seasons, it's easy for us to give up hope and lose heart. But what if we hold on to the hope that God is working behind the scenes, even if we can't see Him? What can we learn from those times of waiting? Shannon Brink has experienced those seasons herself-after various injuries forced her to stay in bed for weeks on end, while she was facing possible infertility but longed to be a mother, as door after door closed on her dreams of living in a far-away land, and now as she waits for sleep to come while battling chronic insomnia. As a former nighttime nurse, Shannon knows that the hardest time of the waiting season is at night, when our thoughts take over and worry invades. Drawing from her own experiences and from the examples of God's people in the Bible who also experienced seasons of waiting, Shannon encourages the reader to hold on to the One Who created us and has only our good in mind. While waiting in the dark, cling to the Light.

"When life throws you a curve ball, it takes resilience, determination, and hope to continue walking by faith and not by sight. In her book Hiding Hope, Linni Weishaar shares her personal story-and her faith in the sure promises of God-in the face of deep challenges, loss, and God-given miracles. With candidness and transparency, she takes you on a journey to walk closer to Jesus through every twist and turn on life's path." ★★★★★-Dr. Ché Ahn, Senior Pastor at Harvest Rock Church, Pasadena, CA, President at Harvest International Ministry, International Chancellor at Wagner University---If you have grieved the loss of a baby, you are not alone.Linni's deepest desire was to one day be a mama. She had spent years dreaming of what it would be like to hold her baby-only for multiple miscarriages and an infertility diagnosis to come crashing down on her faith. What followed would test Linni's courage to confront painful emotions while wrestling with unanswered questions about who God really was for her. She seemed alone, misunderstood by the church, and unseen by her husband. In the midst of pain and uncertainty, could she hold onto hope that Jesus would heal her body, mind, and spirit when circumstances were screaming the opposite of God's promises?Editorial Review★★★★★Endearing, inspiring, and heartbreaking all at once, Hiding Hope is the perfect book for anyone struggling with fertility issues. Linni does a wonderful job addressing the various stresses that come with trying to conceive-and facing the strong probability of that just not being an option-especially when living within a community that places fertility and childbearing on a high pedestal. Readers will appreciate the open rawness of Linni's honesty, and sympathize (if not empathize) with her struggles, her triumphs, and her genuine "Hero's Journey". It's real and genuine with every word, while still maintaining respect for everyone regardless of their helpful, and sometimes hurtful, perspectives. Linni doesn't hold back, and it's this passionate adherence to the truth and the opening of her heart to readers that truly touched me as I hope it will touch you.-Nikki Auberkett, Tala Editorial
