King Follett Discourse . . . --and-- International Perspectives of a Black Artist in a ... (WMV)

King Follett Discourse in the Light of Ancient and Medieval Jewish and Christian Beliefs, John A. Tvedtnes; (read by Matt Roper), Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research, 2004, WMV.

Tvedtnes presents support found in the Hebrew Bible, early Christian writings, and other ancient and medieval texts for concepts found in the King Follett Discourse, including some that were not available during Joseph SmithÆs time.

Review Excerpt:

"I have been listening to the CD of the Tvedtnes conference talk in the car as I drive to and from work. It relates the teachings of the King Follet discourse with many of the early writings.

All I can say is WOW! It is fabulous! The only problem I have with it is I am going to have to listen to it several times to pick up on everything. This talk is very much like what Barry Bickmore did with his book on early Christiainity. If you listen to John's talk you learn that Joseph Smith was either the greatist theological mind of our time--bar none, or he was a prophet of God." --Scott Gordon, 2004

International Perspectives of a Black Artist in a "White" Church, Alex BoyT, Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research, 2004, WMV.

Boye was a top-performing artist in Europe for many years. As a convert to the Church he eventually found that stardom was not harmonious with LDS principles—and so he walked away. BoyeÆs enthusiastic presentation recounts many of the anecdotal events in his life and his claim to music stardom. This presentation is not only uplifting and entertaining, but it also showcases BoyeÆs vocal talents.

As a recording artist, Alex BoyT has sold over 500,000 copies of his hit singles in over fifteen European countries. His voice has also supported such megastars as the Backstreet Boys, N'SYNCH, Mary J. Blige, Chrissy Hind, and George Michael, to name a few. He has performed at the Hale Center Theatre as Jim in the much talked about production "Big River", and has also played the role of Frederick Douglass in "The Civil War." Among Alex's notable accomplishments, he says the highlight of his career thus far has been placing a copy of the Book of Mormon with Prince Charles at one of his concerts. Alex also enjoys his time as a motivational speaker, and doing firesides and musical devotionals across the Wasatch Front and nationwide.
