The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded by Joseph Smith in 1830 in the so-called "burned-over district" of upstate New York, which was producing seers and prophets daily.

Park presents a fresh, sweeping account of the Latter-day Saints.

In his new book, Kim shares some of the amazing stories of accurate prophecies that God has been giving him.

"You're going to love my evangelist." Nita Shoemake first heard those words from her uncle James during a family visit to San Antonio.

If you preach God’s Word, you long to do so with the same scriptural philosophy and spiritual power that marked the preaching of the apostle Paul. In one brief New Testament passage, Paul explains the unique source of his power. In first-century Corinth, the Greeks highly prized and even idolized the ability to speak intelligently and eloquently. Unfortunately, many in the church in Corinth had embraced those secular standards, even causing serious division in the church.
