Timed to publish with the opening of the Statue of Liberty Museum, this is Lady Liberty's untold story of her building, restoration, and iconic place in the world as brought to life through the fascinating lens of archival images, ephemera from the museum's collection, and today's most compelling photography--restored and resplendent against the New York City skyline. Following Rizzoli's acclaimed series with the September 11 Memorial and Museum--The Stories They Tell and No Day Shall Erase You--we now are partnering with the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation to publish this official book on the Statue of Liberty. The material from the book will be drawn from the collections and archives that will be on display in the brand new Statue of Liberty Museum--opening in May 2019 The Statue of Liberty is more than a monument. It is a symbol of freedom that draws more than four million visitors annually from around the world. Officially named "Liberty Enlightening the World," the statue was a joint effort between America and France to commemorate the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence. The book follows the story as told in the new Museum--from its conception and creation to its restoration in 1986 to Lady Liberty's place as a shining icon to the world.

The principal doctrines defining Mormonism today often bear little resemblance to those it started out with in the early 1830s. This book shows that these doctrines did not originate in a vacuum but were rather prompted and informed by the religious culture from which Mormonism arose. Early Mormons, like their early Christian and even earlier Israelite predecessors, brought with them their own varied culturally conditioned theological presuppositions (a process of convergence) and only later acquired a more distinctive theological outlook (a process of differentiation). In this first-of-its-kind comprehensive treatment of the development of Mormon theology, Charles Harrell traces the history of Latter-day Saint doctrines from the times of the Old Testament to the present. He describes how Mormonism has carried on the tradition of the biblical authors, early Christians, and later Protestants in reinterpreting scripture to accommodate new theological ideas while attempting to uphold the integrity and authority of the scriptures. In the process, he probes three questions: How did Mormon doctrines develop? What are the scriptural underpinnings of these doctrines? And what do critical scholars make of these same scriptures? In this enlightening study, Harrell systematically peels back the doctrinal accretions of time to provide a fresh new look at Mormon theology. “This Is My Doctrine” will provide those already versed in Mormonism’s theological tradition with a new and richer perspective of Mormon theology. Those unacquainted with Mormonism will gain an appreciation for how Mormon theology fits into the larger Jewish and Christian theological traditions.

Using the concept of "classical republicanism" in his analysis, Kenneth Winn argues against the common view that the Mormon religion was an exceptional phenomenon representing a countercultural ideology fundamentally subversive to American society. Rather, he maintains, both the Saints and their enemies affirmed republican principles, but in radically different ways. Winn identifies the 1830 founding of the Mormon church as a religious protest against the pervasive disorder plaguing antebellum America, attracting people who saw the libertarianism, religious pluralism, and market capitalism of Jacksonian America as threats to the Republic. While non-Mormons shared the perception that the Union was in danger, many saw the Mormons as one of the chief threats. General fear of Joseph Smith and his followers led to verbal and physical attacks on the Saints, which reinforced the Mormons' conviction that America had descended into anarchy. By 1846, violent opposition had driven Mormons to the uninhabited Great Salt Lake Basin.

Did you know that many of America’s Founding Fathers—who fought for liberty and justice for all—were slave owners? Through the powerful stories of five enslaved people who were “owned” by four of our greatest presidents, this book helps set the record straight about the role slavery played in the founding of America. From Billy Lee, valet to George Washington, to Alfred Jackson, faithful servant of Andrew Jackson, these dramatic narratives explore our country’s great tragedy—that a nation “conceived in liberty” was also born in shackles. These stories help us know the real people who were essential to the birth of this nation but traditionally have been left out of the history books. Their stories are true—and they should be heard. This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.

In comparing the Book of Mormon with our day, there are many interesting parallels. The For Our Day documentary series explores these prophetic parallels referencing statements from latter-day Prophets of God and the Standard Works. For Our Day: Divinely Sanctioned Governments is the second DVD in this series, and compares the Nephite and Latter-day governments of liberty. Covering principles of liberty including: Unalienable Rights, Oath of Office, Federalism, the U.S. and Israel connection and the Laws of Mosiah—this DVD adds an understanding of governmental principles as they are taught in the “most correct book,” the Book of Mormon. Divided into two 45-minute parts for easy viewing, this DVD can be used for educational curricula, group discussions, family nights, religion or Constitution classes, and much more. Discover the origin and source of our Constitutional government, as witnessed by the Founders' words and actions, and revealed in the Constitution itself! Learn why Mormon deliberately placed in his abridgment details, too often considered insignificant, regarding the Nephite government, the Laws of Mosiah and the unique characteristics in the Nephite “Cause of Christians.” Be encouraged as you discover your own personal oath and covenant to protect and defend the Constitution during our modern age of Constitutional neglect, apathy and willful destruction—essentially the same oath and ordinance made by those in the Book of Mormon. Learn the historical context of the First Presidency's response to the Communist threat in America, and the implications of New Deal policies. Find clear scriptural definitions of Unalienable Rights, Federalism and Separation of Powers. See the purposeful design of our nation's Capital city and symbols of our government—constructed to acknowledge God. Finally, examine the stunning similarities in comparing the very words of Captain Moroni and George Washington as we explore the fact that the cause of freedom and liberty has been the Cause of Christians throughout time! Disc includes two parts: Part 1: Foundations (45 min) Laws of Mosiah, Unalienable Rights, Bible, Federalism, Christian Architecture, Israel, Title of Liberty, Checks & Balances, U.S. Seal, Historical Revisionism Part 2: Forsaking (45 min) New Deal, Socialism, Oath of Office, Washington's Oath, Divine Constitution, Nephite Judges, Broken Covenants
