It has been two thousand years since the Savior "spake..unto the multitude in parables"(Matthew 13:34), but for those with ears to hear, his parables reveal events of the latter-days and expectations he holds for this dispensations and beyond. In Scriptural Parables for the Latter Days, authors Andrew C. Skinner and W. Jeffrey Marsh show that ancient parables contain much more than wise sayings and sound principles. Many parables bear witness of the Restoration, the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, the growth of the latter-day kingdom of God, and events related to the fulness of times.

Latter-day Saints are well aware of the significance of the great city of Jerusalem in our theology and in the history of God's dealings with his people. Here is a unique contribution to the literature of the Church prepared by three professors who have a combined total of thirty-five years residence and experience in Jerusalem. Jerusalem, the Eternal City studies the Holy City from 2000 B.C. to A.D. 2000 — from Melchizedek to the Millennium. It is the first treatment of the significance of Jerusalem from an LDS point of view. Through the disciplines of theology, history, geography, anthropology, archeology, linguistics, and political science, the book is a comprehensive analysis of Jerusalem's multifaceted influence on world history through forty centuries.

The concluding scene in the most crucial drama of all time and eternity! On a Friday afternoon almost two thousand years ago, in an obscure part of the Roman empire, the crucified Son of God was laid to rest in a borrowed tomb outside Jerusalem’s city wall. Consumer with grief, his disciples did not realize that within three days, as the Jews measure time, earthshaking events would culminate in Jesus’ resurrection, the which they would all become eyewitnesses. The Garden Tomb tells the story of the Savior’s burial, mission to the world of the spirits, and triumph over death – all of which constitute the third act in the singular drama that was and is the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
