Visions Of Glory *****

As told by John Pontius

I really loved this book.
Like all the other books in this genre, I feel the same as John Pontius disclaims in his afterward comments.

"I do believe that Spencer saw what he saw. But I don't believe it should always be interpreted as literal, or even prophetic, for anyone but Spencer himself... Anyone who has studied the Latter Days, the Second Coming, or the building of Zion in scripture will quickly admit that is is hard to interpret, and most of it is given as metaphor or type of things to come, rather than as specific and actual events to watch for. I wouldn't expect Spencer's vision to be any different."

That said, this book was very enjoyable. It made me want to purify my heart, to know my Savior deeper. It made me feel peace while looking forward to a wonderful-beyond-description future with our Savior and loved ones. Filled with happiness and glory!

I know that this is a human's interpretation of Last Day events she claims to have been shown while on the other side of the veil, regardless of wether it is exactly how it will happen does not deflect from the Christian message in this book. True or not, this book made me want to be better prepared for the Last Days - Physically and Spiritually.
