    Grace or Money: Rediscovering the Gift of Grace in an Age of Greed – 1011

    Justin Pack’s Grace or Money: Rediscovering the Gift of Grace in an Age of Greed is a provocative and timely exploration of two fundamentally different ways of understanding the world: the divine “order of grace” and the human-made “order of money.” Drawing from scripture, anthropology, and philosophy, Pack challenges the modern assumption that scarcity is natural, arguing instead that God created a world of abundance meant to be shared. Through engaging analysis of ancient societies, biblical teachings, and contemporary economic systems, he reveals how our obsession with meritocracy and wealth distorts relationships, erodes integrity, and blinds us to the generosity woven into creation. With wit and clarity, Pack exposes how money—far from being a neutral tool—breeds thoughtlessness and even “BS,” turning life into a game of status and calculation. At once a celebration of grace and a critique of capitalism’s spiritual emptiness, Grace or Money calls readers to rediscover a more life-giving order rooted in gift and community. Whether reflecting on his own Latter-day Saint upbringing, unmasking the myths of progress, or examining the moral hazards of meritocracy, Pack offers a compelling vision of how rejecting the logic of money can heal our societies and souls. For anyone seeking a deeper understanding of faith, justice, and what it means to truly flourish, this book is a bracing, hopeful invitation to choose grace over gain.

    Hearken, O Ye People: The Historical Setting of Joseph Smith’s Ohio Revelations – Mark Staker –

    More of Mormonism’s canonized revelations originated in or near Kirtland than any other place. Yet many of the events connected with those revelations and their 1830s historical context have faded over time. Barely twenty-five years after the first of these Ohio revelations, Brigham Young lamented in 1856: “These revelations, after a lapse of years, become mystified [sic] to those who were not personally acquainted with the circumstances at the time they were given.” He gloomily predicted that eventually the revelations “may be as mysterious to our children . . . as the revelations contained in the Old and New Testaments are to this generation.” Now, more than 150 years later, the distance between what Brigham Young and his Kirtland contemporaries considered common knowledge and our understanding of the same material today has widened into a sometimes daunting gap. Mark Staker narrows the chasm in Hearken, O Ye People by reconstructing the cultural experiences by which Kirtland’s Latter-day Saints made sense of the revelations Joseph Smith pronounced. This volume rebuilds that exciting decade using clues from numerous archives, privately held records, museum collections, and even the soil where early members planted corn and homes. From this vast array of sources he shapes a detailed narrative of weather, religious backgrounds, dialect differences, race relations, theological discussions, food preparation, frontier violence, astronomical phenomena, and myriad daily customs of nineteenth-century life. The result is a “from the ground up” experience that today’s Latter-day Saints can all but walk into and touch. Mark Lyman Staker was a senior researcher in the Church History Department of the LDS Church when this was written. He received his PhD in cultural anthropology from University of Florida. For more than fifteen years, Mark has been involved in historic sites restoration and nineteenth-century expressions of the Latter-day Saint experience. He received the J. Talmage Jones Award of Excellence for an Outstanding Article on Mormon History from the Mormon History Association, and he has been involved in numerous museum exhibits. He and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of seven children and live in West Bountiful, Utah.
