Someone suffering from addiction lives in a fantasy world – one where the world seems hostile, judgmental, and unforgiving. Those with the disease cannot see their true role in the universe, and they rationalize, justify, and deny their anti-social and criminal behaviors. M. Hilliard Patterson knows because that is what he did as an addict. In this testimony, he recalls the pain of addiction and what it felt like being trapped in a world of self-doubt. More importantly, he shares how he escaped a prison of his own making so that others can: overcome unpleasant thoughts and feelings; appreciate how family trauma and loss can lead to addiction; find freedom through faith in the Lord. While the author does not pretend to have the answer to the problem of addiction, he does know what worked for him and how God has helped him overcome his problems. Through hard work and faith, he has found a renewed sense of meaning and hope. Take control of your life, stop making excuses, and help others walk with you to a better place by joining the author on his journey.

A gripping story of how an entire family, deeply enmeshed in Mormonism for thirty years, found their way out and found faith in Jesus Christ. For thirty years, Lynn Wilder, once a tenured faculty member at Brigham Young University, and her family lived in, loved, and promoted the Mormon Church. Then their son Micah, serving his Mormon mission in Florida, had a revelation: God knew him personally. God loved him. And the Mormon Church did not offer the true gospel. Micah's conversion to Christ put the family in a tailspin. They wondered, Have we believed the wrong thing for decades? If we leave Mormonism, what does this mean for our safety, jobs, and relationships? Is Christianity all that different from Mormonism anyway? As Lynn tells her story of abandoning the deception of Mormonism to receive God's grace, she gives a rare look into Mormon culture, what it means to grow up Mormon, and why the contrasts between Mormonism and Christianity make all the difference in the world. Whether you are in the Mormon Church, are curious about Mormonism, or simply are looking for a gripping story, Unveiling Grace will strengthen your faith in the true God who loves you no matter what.

Originally published in 1977. This volume recovers the allegory in Dante's Divine Comedy and presumes that readers' deficient knowledge of or interest in allegory have led to misinterpretations of Dante's poem. None of the dozens of commentaries on the Comedy published in the first half of the twentieth century was concerned with allegory more than sporadically, says Singleton, and so these treatments directed readers' attention to the merest disjecta membra of that continuous dimension of the poem. From Singleton's perspective, the allegory of the Comedy is an imitation of Biblical allegory, which was acknowledged by thinkers in the Middle Ages but not by intellectuals during and following the Renaissance. Singleton attempts to restore the allegorical elements to the foreground of interpreting the Comedy.
