Home: The Savior of Civilization

This is the book upon which this website is based.

A pdf scan of an original copy can be found on Google Books. (original)

The book is organized into three main parts.

These readings are being posted as podcast episodes, with a generated audio, and the full text of the reading.

Changes in my versions.

There were a bunch of page references which I removed. In every instance, I’ve made it easier to find the referenced information, either through a page on this website, or in a more prominent place in the book. For example, every daily reading entry used to have a listing that said, “Program for Daily Council, page 81”. Since the new versions have different pagination, and the same content will be in the book and on the website, I gave that information its own page, program for the Home Council meetings. In the new ebook and physical copies, this program will easily located in the table of contents.
I removed sections that were regularly placed in the text to use as a weekly family journal. There are much better ways to record those things these days, from high-quality notebooks to Google docs.
I have rearranged a couple of the helps, for instance, I’m moving the daily program to be the first item of Part III.
I’ve corrected any obvious typos that I have found.
I’ve have updated spellings of many words to modern versions. The biggest change this way was “to-day” to “today” in many places.
There was a brief piece of Part I which I removed entirely. I do not believe that it fit in with Christ’s teachings and the spirit of the rest of the book. I believe readers could instantly be turned off by it and thus miss all the wonderful teachings presented in the rest of the book.
