Here is a modern, dramatic, re-telling of historical facts secretly related to the 2012 Presidential campaign. These facts uncover a sinister pattern of deception utilized by Mormon leaders since their religion's beginnings in America of the 1830's. This portrait, paints such a contradictory personal character to the one portrayed by the Romney campaign, that people will be shocked to find out just how deep Romney's roots are buried in the Mormon aristocracy. The controversy is placed on the notion that Mormon leaders have secretly planned a take-over of the United States government based on a prediction by their leader Joseph Smith in the 1840's, known as the White Horse Prophecy. Blood Oaths... explores the basis of this belief and traces the tactics of the Mormon Church leader's efforts to cover it up. Throughout the book, numerous articles and opinions which criticize the Mormon hierarchy are sited, including Park Romney, cousin to Mitt Romney. These sources have been scrutinized and re-confirmed by our organization, the Nathaniel Rigdon Society, for this research. Our group of concerned voters, joined together to research this project while observing the 2012 primary debates. At first, what started as cursory inquiries into Mitt Romney's statement "...I will not distance myself from my faith and the faith of my fathers," quickly turned into a discussion about the history of Mormonism's founders. One fact after another reconfirmed the notion stated by Park Romney that, "...Mormon Church leaders, knowingly and willfully misrepresent the historical truth of their origins and of the church, for the purpose of deceiving their members into a state of mind that renders them exploitable." Readers will be given insightful knowledge about some of the controversy surrounding Mormons most celebrated leaders, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young as well as a lesser known prophet who helped create the LDS traditions, Parley Pratt, fore-father to Mitt Romney. This is done thru highlighting various news articles, eyewitness testimony and books, both current and historical, to develop a modern-day character portrait of Willard Mitt Romney, who the book reveals, gets his name from a man in the room at the time of Joseph Smith's murder in a Carthage, Illinois jail. The audience of modern-day soap operas and dysfunctional family, reality shows, will find this drama-filled history, extremely captivating. An advance promotion quotes, "Destroying angels, secret rituals, massacres, blood oaths passed down through generations and a plot for one world theocracy...sounds like an historical-fictional Dan Brown novel. But what if it was all true and the 2012 election was the key to the fulfillment of a prophecy?" mittromneybloodoath.comhttp://mittromneybloodoath.com

Joel Osteen, the smiling preacher, has quickly emerged as one of the most recognizable Protestant leaders in the country. His megachurch, the Houston based Lakewood Church, hosts an average of over 40,000 worshipers each week. Osteen is the best-selling author of numerous books, and his sermons and inspirational talks appear regularly on mainstream cable and satellite radio. How did Joel Osteen become Joel Osteen? How did Lakewood become the largest megachurch in the U. S.? Salvation with a Smile, the first book devoted to Lakewood Church and Joel Osteen, offers a critical history of the congregation by linking its origins to post-World War II neopentecostalism, and connecting it to the exceptionally popular prosperity gospel movement and the enduring attraction of televangelism. In this richly documented book, historian Phillip Luke Sinitiere carefully excavates the life and times of Lakewood’s founder, John Osteen, to explain how his son Joel expanded his legacy and fashioned the congregation into America’s largest megachurch. As a popular preacher, Joel Osteen’s ministry has been a source of existential strength for many, but also the routine target of religious critics who vociferously contend that his teachings are theologically suspect and spiritually shallow. Sinitiere’s keen analysis shows how Osteen’s rebuttals have expressed a piety of resistance that demonstrates evangelicalism’s fractured, but persistent presence. Salvation with a Smile situates Lakewood Church in the context of American religious history and illuminates how Osteen has parlayed an understanding of American religious and political culture into vast popularity and success.

This book will kick up a lot of "religious" dust in all of us. It's what we do when the dust settles and our eyes are opened that will determine where we go from here. It is only when we see Him, that we see our destiny. We must not get offended with the truth. The truth is the only thing that will set us free. The enemy is behind offenses, as he does not want us to reach our destiny. Each one of us has a marvelous, unique destiny marked out by the price Christ paid for it. Hebrews 12:1b puts it simply, "Let us lay aside every weight and sin which does so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." We would all agree that the church has a message for the world, but would we all agree that the world has a message for the church? They, most assuredly, do. Their cries identify the reason Christ came to earth as a man and became the sacrifice for those cries. For every cry, there is a provision in His sacrifice. Has the church in general disclosed the real Christ and His sacrifice that brings wholeness and purpose for all people; regardless of denomination, race and background? The world is crying out to the church, "Show Me This Man Called Jesus"! This book reveals truths to the world and the church that will awaken "hope" in both. Hope awakened in the church will bring her out of law into grace. Hope awakened in the world will bring the world to Christ!
