Old Testament |
|
When I bought my E-Reader I wrote to my LDS church
headquarters scriptures department and asked if they had .rtf versions of the scriptures
I could load to my e-reader - they told me to simply cut and paste
from "THE SCRIPTURES CD", so that is what I'm doing, but it still requires a
lot of reformatting. I will post the files here as I complete the
formatting.
NOTE: I am formatting a few things a little differently than in
the printed versions for ease of searching and reading on the small
screen. These also do not have the study aids the printed versions or
the CD has - if you want to use an electronic version with study
aids then you need to buy THE SCRIPTURES CD ($6) from the
Distribution Center or go to
http://scriptures.lds.org/.

HYMNALS
Do you know of other hymnals I can offer here?
|
|
Olney
Hymnal |
|
An old beloved favorite; published in 1779 and
written by John Newton and William Cowper; two men who
personally understood God's Love, Mercy, and Grace for His
children. |
|
Isaac Watts |
|
Includes 'Psalms of David', 'Hymns and Spiritual
Songs' (3 volumes), and 'Divine and Moral Songs for Children'.
|
1835 LDS
Kirtland
Hymnal |
|
The very first LDS hymnal. Complied by Emma
Smith, it shows incredible taste and understanding on hymns to
be used for general congregational use. Some texts are seriously
dated to her time, but they are still good ones. |
|
1840 LDS Manchester
Hymnal |
|
While Emma Smith was compiling a successor to the
Kirtland Hymnal, church leaders in England compiled a hymnal for
Latter-day Saints in that country, Parley P. Pratt acting as the
main editor and compiler. It became the church's standard hymnal
for several decades. Some texts are seriously dated, but they are
still good ones. |
1841 LDS
Nauvoo Hymnal |
|
Emma Smith's second hymnal, this one contained many more
general Christian hymns and many more LDS-written texts. Some
texts are seriously dated to her time, but they are still good
ones. This is the only LDS hymnal to include that time-honored and
proven 'Amazing Grace'. |
|
1985 LDS Hymns |
|
The current LDS hymnal minus those hymns
that have copyright notices not allowing them to be freely copied. |

Declaration of Independence & Constitution |

These files are formatted from the
U.S. Constitution page of
this website and includes many of the explanatory footnotes I've
written. It all began as a home-school aide and just kept
growing. Please visit the website for extensive information -
but here are some of the essentials. |

Stevenson Poetry |
|
The collected volumes of poetry by Robert Lewis
Stevenson. I had not read any of his poetry since childhood, and I
have only recently discovered he wrote more then "A Child's Garden
of Verses". I think he's one of he the best poets ever. |
