For over 50 years, For the Strength of Youth has been a guide for generations of Latter-day Saint youth. I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It’s also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn’t make decisions for you. It doesn’t give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.

Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God’s unconditional love. It’s a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God’s grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.

During his NDE, he described heaven with details shockingly similar to what sighted people around the world report seeing — despite never having seen anything on earth himself. But there was one experience in heaven that stayed with him more than anything else. Brad encountered something so beautiful, powerful, and deeply moving that it awakened a passion inside him years before he would ever pursue it on earth. Later in life, Brad fell into a deep depression and reached the point of wanting to end his life. But in his darkest moment, the memory of what he experienced in heaven — and the passion it ignited in him as a child — came rushing back and ultimately saved him. In this emotional conversation with John Burke, Brad shares the breathtaking details of his near death experience, the uncanny similarities between his account and those of sighted people, and the heavenly encounter that changed the course of his life forever. --------------------------- Stay Connected 📖 Books and Audiobooks by John Burke Imagine Heaven Audiobook on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0cEt1lYP Imagine the God of Heaven Audiobook on Amazon: https://a.co/d/08bV7Mje Imagine Heaven Devotional: 100 Reflections to Bring Heaven to Your Life: https://a.co/d/fDRHWcH 👉 Follow Us on Socials Facebook: / imagineheavenbook X: https://x.com/JohnBurkePodcast Instagram: / johnburkepodcast TikTok: / johnburkepodcast 👉 Visit Our Website imagineheaven.net 🎙️ Listen to the Imagine Heaven Podcast Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4gLfumV iHeart: https://ihr.fm/4gSOd1e Amazon: https://bit.ly/4gxfNBr Apple: https://apple.co/4gTFH1V Music from Artlist.io and Soundstripe, Cody Martin New Orbit UFTJQBTHYCZ1VIDO #NearDeathExperience #NDE #LifeAfterDeath #ImagineHeaven #Heaven #Afterlife #JohnBurke #BlindSinceBirth #NDEStories #Faith #Hope #Miracles #WhatHappensAfterWeDie #AfterlifeStories #DivineEncounters #NearDeathExperience #NDE #ProofOfGod #GodsLove #LifeAfterDeath #Heaven #Faith #Spirituality #ImagineHeaven #JohnBurke #DivineEncounters #WhatHappensAfterWeDie #ReligiousExperiences #TeenNDE #faith #imaginethegodofheaven #TrendingNow #ViralVideos #FYP #ForYou #ForYouPage #MindBlowing #UnexplainedMysteries #FaithJourney #NearDeathExperience #NDE #LifeAfterDeath #Afterlife #Heaven #Spirituality #Faith #MysticalExperience #God #Jesus #Extradimensional #5thDimension #EternalLife #InspirationalStories #SupernaturalEncounters

About the book- The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left by Dinesh D'Souza https://www.amazon.com/Big-Lie-Exposing-Roots-American/dp/1621573486 "Of course, everything [D'Souza] says here is accurate... But it's not going to sit well with people on the American left who, of course, are portraying themselves as the exact opposite of all of this." —RUSH LIMBAUGH The explosive new book from Dinesh D'Souza, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Hillary's America, America, and Obama's America. What is "the big lie" of the Democratic Party? That conservatives—and President Donald Trump in particular—are fascists. Nazis, even. In a typical comment, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow says the Trump era is reminiscent of "what it was like when Hitler first became chancellor." But in fact, this audacious lie is a complete inversion of the truth. Yes, there is a fascist threat in America—but that threat is from the Left and the Democratic Party. The Democratic left has an ideology virtually identical with fascism and routinely borrows tactics of intimidation and political terror from the Nazi Brownshirts. To cover up their insidious fascist agenda, Democrats loudly accuse President Trump and other Republicans of being Nazis—an obvious lie, considering the GOP has been fighting the Democrats over slavery, genocide, racism and fascism from the beginning. Now, finally, Dinesh D'Souza explodes the Left's big lie. He expertly exonerates President Trump and his supporters, then uncovers the Democratic Left's long, cozy relationship with Nazism: how the racist and genocidal acts of early Democrats inspired Adolf Hitler's campaign of death; how fascist philosophers influenced the great 20th century lions of the American Left; and how today's anti-free speech, anti-capitalist, anti-religious liberty, pro-violence Democratic Party is a frightening simulacrum of the Nazi Party. Hitler coined the term "the big lie" to describe a lie that "the great masses of the people" will fall for precisely because of how bold and monstrous the lie is. In The Big Lie, D'Souza shows that the Democratic Left's orchestrated campaign to paint President Trump and conservatives as Nazis to cover up its own fascism is, in fact, the biggest lie of all.

Like so many Americans who have been targeted in the last decade by biased prosecutors, Peters never belonged there in the first place. Peters was railroaded at the insistence of election officials in Colorado who were trying to punish her for her investigation of the compromised 2020 presidential election. Singled out as she was for exemplary punishment, Peters was subjected to abusive conditions and periodic assaults by fellow prisoners. All of this was for following her conscience as county clerk and recorder of Mesa County, Colorado, in acting to prevent and detect election fraud. Concerned (correctly) that there was evidence of fraud in the 2020 presidential race in her county, she made copies of voting data before it could be destroyed—an act that Colorado authorities convinced a biased judge was criminal. Although her political enemies clearly hoped that she wouldn’t outlive her long, outrageous sentence, it was recently and mercifully commuted by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, thanks in part to pressure brought on them by the Trump administration. Peters’ full story deserves to be made into a movie about the corruption of justice in our country. But another film, unjustly forgotten, tells a remarkably similar tale: 1991’s Prisoner of Honor, directed by Ken Russell and starring Richard Dreyfuss. The film depicts the persecution, imprisonment, rigged trials, and final vindication of French Army Captain Alfred Dreyfus—commonly known as the Dreyfus Affair. The American actor (no relation to the film’s subject) doesn’t portray the Jewish captain, but the Catholic Col. Georges Picquart, who defied orders and became Dreyfus’ champion. The film, which you can watch for free on YouTube, is brilliantly acted, straightforward, and faithful to events—a fine way to introduce yourself to a controversy that had ripples extending for decades, even into the politics of Vichy France, and the vindictive postwar purge by French Communists of thousands of innocent Catholic patriots falsely labeled “collaborators.” (I learned this about the “épuration sauvage” from Catholic philosopher Thomas Molnar, who witnessed its outrages firsthand, but thankfully escaped.) In 1884, Captain Alfred Dreyfus was the only Jewish Frenchman who had been able to rise to the General Staff, when he was charged with spying on behalf of the hated Germans, who’d utterly humiliated the poorly led French army in 1871 during the Franco-Prussian War, toppling the Second Empire and stripping France of Alsace and Lorraine. The French Army had been seething ever since that defeat, preparing for a rematch, and keeping a keen eye for scapegoats and “traitors.” Like the case against Peters, the case against Dreyfus was flimsy from the beginning. As Sean Durns noted of the Dreyfus Affair at Commentary: In September 1894, French counterintelligence came into possession of a document known as a bordereau, or note. It had been found, ripped in several pieces, in the trash of the office of the German military attaché. The bordereau offered to supply information about the workings of the hydraulic brake of the 120-millimeter cannon, as well as information about troop maneuvers, artillery formations, and French policies relating to its colony, Madagascar. Dreyfus was an unlikely candidate to be a spy. Independently wealthy, he seemed to lack a motive. The author was uncertain in the note about artillery matters—a subject in which Dreyfus was well versed. Moreover, the author of the bordereau said that he was going on maneuvers at a time and place that would have been impossible for interns of the General Staff, including Dreyfus. And the handwriting sample that Dreyfus provided didn’t even match the note. At the time, the French Army had become the bastion of patriotic, conservative Catholics—who were systematically excluded from government positions by a Third Republic which organized itself around Masonic lodges, even keeping spies at local churches to report on which notables attended Mass, so they could be blackballed. Public schools had been secularized and pushed Jacobin agitprop that justified atrocities such as the Revolutionary genocide in the Vendée. France would become one of the last Western countries to grant women the vote—after World War II—because women were regarded at the time as more devout and therefore more likely to vote in defense of the Church. The politicians of the Third Republic believed in managing their electorate. Whether those Army officers who’d filed the charges believed in Dreyfus’ guilt at first, his innocence was soon obvious to them and their superiors. It even turned out that the information provided to the Germans was of no military value. Rather than take the public relations hit of admitting its mistake, however, the Army hardened its position vis-à-vis Dreyfus. Top-ranking officers resented the presence of a Jew in their midst, even one as manifestly patriotic and competent as Dreyfus. So they forged fresh evidence and denied Dreyfus’ counsel the opportunity even to inspect it during the trial, which was held in secret. Within 90 days, Dreyfus was convicted, publicly stripped of his uniform, and shipped off to Devil’s Island, where he was expected to die of some tropical plague. A newly popular gutter, anti-Semitic press trumpeted the exposure of the “foreign” traitor. Dreyfus would languish for years in wretched conditions on Devil’s Island, while the French Army held one rigged forum after another. At one point, the actual traitor who was responsible for offering military secrets to the Germans came to light: Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy, a debt-ridden, libertine gambler who also worked in French military intelligence. His handwriting was a conclusive match to that on the bordereau. Yet the French Army held another trial, in secret, and acquitted Esterhazy. As an institution, the Army had staked its credibility on Dreyfus’ conviction and preferred to keep a genuine spy in its ranks rather than admit its collusion in these unjust and embarrassing proceedings. (Does any of this sound familiar to those who have followed leftist lawfare since 2016?) This cynical stratagem backfired for the corrupt military officers involved, spawning a decade of controversy, in which the bitterly anti-Catholic French left championed Dreyfus’ innocence—and used the case as a stick to beat both the Army and the Church. Meanwhile, a viciously anti-Semitic far-right press scapegoated Jews in general and Dreyfus in particular for the secular mistreatment of patriotic French Catholics—almost all of which mistreatment came at the hands of secularized French Gentiles.
