This is a collection of my LDS warning publications. Obviously these are the latter-days and that times are going to get tough, but there will come a severe testing that will be so bad that there will be a great division of the LDS Church. This book goes over all the issues, but includes ways out or ways to endure the upcoming danger. This book is not meant to scare members, instead it is meant to inform, so that members can prepare and be prepared like the five wise virgins from Jesus' parables.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is a restored religion. As such, there are several restorations left to occur. Will they strengthen or test your faith?

As a religion, the Egyptian's documents are therefore to be considered scripture. A translation is herein given along with a scriptural text based upon the translation.

In this book I break down every astronomical occurrence. I tell its historical context and how they are to be interpreted by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. And I give examples of actual fulfillments of signs in the heavens along with predictions for 2017.

Philosophy of Mormonism is the first of its kind in taking the LDS theology and rendering it into a philosophical manner of speech. It also includes an overview of logic and ethics. To Be Mormon Literate is the controversial book that goes over the different types of scripture study illiteracies. And Idolatry is a comprehensive book on the topic.

All of us dream. It's our body's way of resting after our day. But what has surprised me is that I have dreams that are prophecy dreams. These are dreams that tell me my future. All of these prophecy dreams have been identified as such by the Spirit. The Spirit is that entity from the presence of God that communicates God's will for us. I've never known how they will come to pass, but as the time for fulfillment draws near I marvel as I watch it unfold.

Finally a dream interpretation guide book for LDS members that could benefit anyone generally. Learn what dreams mean and how to remember them. Does not contain a symbol dictionary. This is just a discussion about dream interpretation.

Miracles happen because of my faith. My faith is not my will, but God's will for me. By following the Spirit, I learn what God's will is and then I implement it. God doesn't want bad things to happen to anyone, so when we follow the Spirit the way is paved for us to accomplish what God has revealed to us. Sure, there are evil people who come along to try and hinder our progress, but that is not God's fault. By following the Spirit, God will get us back on path and turn the weakness caused by others into a strength.

I endured deprivation torture for the first two weeks I spent in jail. All for the crime of redressing grievances about my kidnapped children. Yet in this darkness I was given a light to carry me through and endure.

This book is an anthropology of Mormonism paper I wrote back in 2004. It subsequently became a part of the book, Mormon Philosophy, already published. It is published here separately.

With the Egyptian creation story vignette being translatable on different levels, Travis Wayne Goodsell has applied these levels to other vignettes. The results are that Joseph Smith was correct with his explanations, but shows that he was incomplete on the facsimiles' translations. Travis has identified nine level translation types and goes over each character of facsimile number one from the Joseph Smith papyri hieroglyphic vignette at each level of translation.

The Egyptians were a visionary people. They had Seers, what they called "Peter" in Egyptian. What scholars refer to as myths are in reality prophesies and therefore can be referred to as scripture. One such prophesy has to do with the Egyptian god Osiris. The Greek historian Plutarch wrote about the death of Osiris beyond what the Egyptian texts do. In his account Osiris was the king of Egypt.

In this book I go over the signs in the heavens on the day of Lavell Edwards' death. What I found was a celestial tribute to this prominent man.

These two articles were submitted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for inclusion in their Ensign magazine. The first deals with Joseph Smith's manner of translation covering several doctrinal topics. The second is all about charity.

On the 7th January 2017, news broke out about the astronomical prediction that two binary stars in the Cygnus Constellation would collide on the 15 March 2022. Such an event would appear as a new star in the heavens by being so big and bright. Being one who has studied the ancient ways and therefore can interpret the signs in the heavens, I thought I'd check my AstroViewer to see what the skies would look like on the 15th of March 2022.

The spirit is not well known in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is not the Holy Ghost, but is what the Holy Ghost is made of. This book goes over what the spirit is from scripture and also how to identify it.

What if by using the principles of logical argument, we can identify a true religion? Could we then not identify its existence from among the world's religions? And should we not promote that religion as the one and only true religion? The idea of a Utopian religion shouldn't scare anyone, but rather it should be sought after and embraced. The idea that we as a people can identify a true religion means that we must discard false or illogical religion and religious concepts.

The millennial Moses is not a known subject in the church. There is only one direct scripture which talks about him in Doctrine and Covenants 103:15-16. All other scripture references are indirect or alluded to, just as the opening scripture in Jeremiah. Basically there is to be one like Moses who will bring to pass much restoration, the final gathering, the Great Division or Sifting, and lead the Saints to their millennial inheritances in New Jerusalem.

This year, a leap year, is a Presidential Election. But this year is different in that there are big scandals on the personal character of the two main candidates of the two major political parties. People are being forced to choose their party, choose the other main party, or choose a third party candidate. Yet we are witnessing the potential of the first female president after the last two terms of seeing the first black President take office. So I thought I would give my two cents on this election.

Travis' vision for a Utopian world society is presented with new ideas as to how to run and organize the system. It is a different twist on what many others have tried to propose.
