Explanation |
|
Old Testament |
|
When I bought my E-Reader I wrote to my church
headquarters 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. |

Pilgrim's Progress |
|
John Bunyan's immortal
work. One should own a hard copy with all the good notes they
have (I like the Barnes & Noble Classics edition), but if you
must a have an electronic copy, here you go. |
|
Celestial Railroad |
|
American author Nathaniel
Hawthorn's 1846 sequel to PILGRIM'S PROGRESS - a must-read for those
who believe they don't need to put forth any effort to enter the
Celestial City. |
|
Celestial Omnibus |
|
Edward Morgan Forster's 1911 short
story modeled after Bunyan's journey theme |
|
Mowgli Stories |
|
After publishing the Jungle Books, Kipling gathered
just the Mowgli stories and published them chronologically and in
a single volume. Here is my recreation of that volume. |
|
Paradise Lost / Regained |
|
Milton's most famous work. |
|
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. |
