It includes an account of visions of the spirit world, a series of vignettes of apocalyptic last-days scenarios, and describes Spencer’s foretold role in preparing the world for the second coming of Christ. Their recipient is an anonymous informant called “Spencer” in the book. Visions of Glory is written by John Pontius and recounts several visions and spiritual manifestations. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.Review of: John Pontius, Visions of Glory: One Man’s Astonishing Account of the Last Days (Springville UT: Cedar Fort, 2012). That's a humble man and a true disciple of Christ. He knows his place and makes it clear he's not trying to become above anything. ![]() of fame' off of him for various, honorable reasons and keep it where we know it belongs to. ![]() I love that he wants to remain unknown to keep the '15 mins. There is no doubt in my mind this man experienced these things, that has been confirmed to me and I appreciate him sharing this for those who are ready to hear and learn from it. It really is an eye opener and puts things in a whole new perspective to some of the 'behind the scenes' stuff we don't normally see, hear or realize exists and to what degree and in that kind of detail. What an awesome book!! While it's an account of one man's personal experience and visions it is interesting to read what he saw and experienced. I recommend this book! if you are not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints, try to read this without prejudice, if you are a member, ask God for guidance and some amazing things may be opened to you. ![]() The "Afterward" mentions that some of the events change from fact to a metaphor and this change is ongoing. Then again, I don't believe that anyone should take any of these as direct events and facts that will take place in specifically the same ways. The Second Coming of the Lord now seems even more realistic and a lot of events described in this book seem very very plausible. I wasn't sure, at first, if I should take any of that to heart, but I prayed to Heavenly Father and received some amazing inspiration through the author's story. Being a church member, a lot of things actually felt very close to my heart. This book affected me in such a way that my love for the Savior has grown since and this vision sort of became my own. but I allowed myself to read it (listened to audiobook) simply as someone's story, and not an attempt to create a new prophecy, or a scripture, but simply a vision of the brother, who was trying to share with the world about their life and the visions that they have experienced. I was very critical of this book, at first. Always follow the living prophet! Seek personal revelation! Live righteously! And, recognize the worth of a soul is great! I highly recommend this book! -Amazon This has lead to many personal meditations and realizations regarding our purpose in life. I did find however, my mind was opened to a better understanding of certain principles and scriptures. It is important to remember that these visions were specific to one person and not intended to be prophetic or supersede any counsel from LDS General Authorities. Whether you find the story believable or not, it certainly gives one something to ponder. The insights gained from reading this book have been almost overwhelming. After reading other books by Brother John, (as he would sign off on his blog), and having many friends recommend it, I could no longer put it off. I resisted reading Visions of Glory for quite some time. ![]()
