In A Mormon's Four-Step Journey to Holiness, Kent Eyner Nielsen writes as one laborer to another—not from a pulpit, but from the same road you're on. Drawing on scripture, latter-day revelation, and hard-won experience, he lays out a practical path for the believer who senses there is more to discipleship than routine: a way to discover your true purpose, to meet trials as instruments of growth rather than signs of abandonment, and to align your whole life—heart, habits, and will—with the word of God.

But the settlers are breaking no law and no one is going to prevent them from building their homes and becoming a real town.

For Ky, it’s not just about liberating the star systems subjugated by Turek and defending the rest of the galaxy’s freedom.

Henry Bennion Eyring was born on May 31, 1933, in Princeton, New Jersey, bearing the first name of his father, who was fast building a reputation as a brilliant scientist, and the family name of his mother, who didn't care for the name "Henry" and insisted that he be called Hal.

The Oracle’s prophecy has been telling Ret for years that “one line has the rite", but Ret is gone, isn’t he? And ever since the collection of Mother Nature’s six, pure, original elements began, the world’s continents have been on an inevitable collision-course return to Waters Deep. Join Paige, Ana, Mr. Coy, and the rest of our heroes as they attempt to save the planet from utter destruction - all they have to do is use their relics, find some ancient pillars, and create physical Pangaeaic harmony before nuclear annihilation occurs. No problem, right?

The time has finally arrived to collect the sixth element and completely fill the Oracle, but there are more surprises than ever at Waters Deep. Ret bestows six gifts to his loved ones before venturing off to his final battle with Lye; our protagonist armed with Mr. Coy's latest invention. But earth-shattering revelations are about to come to pass: Ret's real family; the First Father's return; a friend's ultimate betrayal; the group's watery failure; Lye's deadliest weapon. Join Ret as he sacrifices everything he is to learn the hard way - family is what's most important.

All Mick Bogerman wanted to do was teach his little brother how to swim in the coolest swimming pool in town. He didn’t ask to take care of a bunch of Sea-Monkeys while he was there. He certainly didn’t mean to morph one of them into a mermaid by feeding it genetically enhanced super food. No one is more surprised than Mick when the creature starts luring unsuspecting adults into the deep end of the pool. Adults who don’t resurface.

Thanks to an ally at Waters Deep, our heroes learn a secret that takes them to a mysterious tree in Russia where Ret discovers a land lost in time. The stakes are high as the quest to fill the Oracle takes on a whole new dimension, including Lye's plan that eliminates his need of Ret entirely. Find out what the past can reveal about the present in the adventure to collect the fifth element - an adventure that will teach Ret about a different kind of element by revealing the mutant in us all.

The mounting burdens finally become too much for Ret, and he abandons his destiny to “cure the world”. But the Oracle has much more to teach our young hero, even powers unseen. Things heat up and then really cool down as the quest for the fourth element extends to the bottom of the globe. Join Ret as he braves an abominable snow beast, ventures deep inside Antarctica’s most ancient glacier, and then needs help from a certain loved one as he comes face-to-face with his toughest challenge yet: himself.

A third scar appears, pointing Ret to the Amazon rain forest, the Sahara Desert, and ultimately the City of Gold. Trouble at every turn, in lands where deadly curses abound. Somewhere, between golden arches and ancient ruins, an age-old secret is waiting to be uncovered. Ret’s enemies are multiplying, a grim reality that will try the hearts of his friends. The Oracle is wasting no time now, clearly hastening the gathering of its elements. Things are in full motion; Ret feels this. So does Lye; he is ready - and waiting.

Ret’s second scar makes its explosive debut. More of our world’s mysteries lead him to Fire Island and the second element. Ancient artifacts, a hot-air balloon, lines in the desert, a city in the mountains, tribal societies, and even the navel of the world all play their parts in Ret’s continued quest to fill the Oracle.

Armed with a pitchfork, miner's hat, and map, Mick Bogerman dares to hunt for pirate treasure in Zombie Cave. His little brother Finley is tied up at the beach. Literally - Mick tied him up. No one needs a little brother tagging along when you're going to slay the undead. But Mick soon wishes he'd taken some human company with him, because lurking in every corner, reaching from every crevice, is another hungry corpse. No wonder the place is named Zombie Cave! And finding treasure in the twisty tunnels is a lot harder when your map disintegrates.
