This anthology is a thorough introduction to classic literature for those who have not yet experienced these literary masterworks. For those who have known and loved these works in the past, this is an invitation to reunite with old friends in a fresh new format. From Shakespeare's finesse to Oscar Wilde's wit, this unique collection brings together works as diverse and influential as The Pilgrim s Progress and Othello. As an anthology that invites readers to immerse themselves in the masterpieces of the literary giants, it is must-have addition to any library.

This is the definitive work on the Savior. Talmage explores all aspects of the Savior's life including the premortal existence, Christ's visit to the American continent and the spirit world. It is not a quick overview of Jesus's life but is amazingly in depth. The reader should also read the notes as they contain many interesting insights into Jesus's world from the temple tax to formation of the Sanhedrein. Not only is it a great scholarly account but its spiritual content is unparrelled. It will bring one closer to Christ than any other (non scriptoral) book.

Notes
Also have Jesus the Christ - James E. Talmage (1948) from Dad's mission.
