This book includes a number of talks and spiritual thoughts I have given as I have worked with people in a religious context. It is meant to be a resource to help individuals study and understand the divine. I hope that it helps you look at common teachings with new perspective. The scriptures are full of amazing teachings. The stories have many different meanings and lessons to be learned. I hope the perspectives in this book help you to see these stories and scriptures from new angles. I hope they ignite your curiosity. I hope they help you develop a habit of pondering the mysteries of God. I hope the thoughts bring you closer to God and help you deepen your relationship with Him. I have gone back to these talks many times and I keep adjusting them and adding new perspective as my understanding increases. May you do the same. One of the great gifts our Heavenly Father has given us is the opportunity to search out His mysteries. May you ever find joy in this pursuit.
