Riveting--A Must Read in History & Culture Classes

Revisado: 10-25-21

"Code Talker" is a fantastic read. History and culture was extremely well presented and well written (and well narrated).

Makes me wonder why my culture-awareness, English-class professor didn't choose this book verses the one that berates Navajo men. Oh. The Prof's wife was of the same decent as the major enemy discussed in this book . . . hmmm.

A great read in or out of school! I just hope all history and culture-awareness classes include "Code Talker" as a must read!

Food for Thought but a Little Wacco (4 paragraphs)

Revisado: 10-24-21

“Visions of Glory by John Pontius” (a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) is food for thought but a little heavy duty. Although I generally had a good feeling when reading this book (definitely better than a violent novel), I’m giving it a four instead of a five because of the book’s constant claiming of the word visions (in fact the word vision from the title should have been defined, per writing norms) when some of the happenings were in real time and some were in dreams/his subconscious, and some were, actually, metaphors (not noted until the appendix and not noted as to which happenings ‘were or were not’ metaphors).

As to the Savior’s hair color the protagonist saw, I know someone else--to whom I would not doubt--saw the Savior with blonde, fluffy hair. So whose vision was accurate? Or were they both dreams? Moreover, why even mention the Savior’s hair color in a book, of all things, when prophets have told us the most important thing to remember and to focus with Jesus Christ is His almighty atonement and His many good works and miracles.

Regarding the future events the protagonist saw [or dreamed], I hope they can be approached the same way the Bible’s King Hezekiah handled his death prophecy from Isiah, wherein King Hezekiah was granted 15 more years to live because of his righteous pleadings. Fortunately, we have lots of leaders and citizens praying for our Nation; so, hopefully, those prayers will be advantageous to future situations, overriding many of the negative visions/dreams mentioned.

I appreciate the author including a few more revelations/visions from other people. But I believe these types of personal visions should not be proclaimed to the world in a book unless done so through a prophet, seer, and revelator. I think Church leaders want us to focus on improving ourselves and being kind to our loved ones while calmly preparing for the second coming of our Savior Jesus Christ. And while Church leaders might believe much of the information presented in this book, they might prefer material that can't cause readers to get historical over such futuristic specifics, which might be partially the reason "Visions of Glory" wasn’t and isn’t (to my knowledge) sold at book stores designated for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latte-Day Saints (unless the book was sold out at those stores).

Too Much Using the Names of Diety

Revisado: 10-10-21

I revere Joseph Smith as the Prophet, but this book had an abrupt use of the Lord's and the Father's name more than any of my non-religious books. The lingo might have been the thing back then but was too distracting for me today -- and is all that I can remember of it!

Contains Intriguing Experiences

Revisado: 01-16-21

Although this Mormon lady Skipped the "Weird Sex" chapter, I found Comey's mob, etc. experiences extremely interesting and the book well written, underscoring the author's values. I would have changed the title's wording after the colan to Intriguing Criminal Experiences and More, because it was riveting to me.

"Animal Farm" fantastically mirrors some political parties and leaders; but America will overcome this delima, right?

Revisado: 05-26-20

Although Crashback portrayed the Obama administration as softies, it was very educational and interesting -- and sometimes scary -- with great narrating.
