| Setting the Record Straight: Blacks and the Mormon Priesthood Written by Marcus H. Martins, Ph.D. For over a century The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prohibited the ordination of men who had Black African ancestry to offices in its priesthood. This "priesthood ban" was lifted in 1978 to the delight of most Church members, but puzzling questions and folklore surrounding the origin and reasons for the ban have lingered in Mormon popular culture. In a deeply doctrinal discussion of this controversial subject in Mormon history, Professor Marcus H. Martins shares personal reflections based on his experiences as a Black member of the Church who lived through the final years of the ban. His analysis debunks old myths and folklore, and it introduces a gospel-based framework for racial and cultural relations in contemporary societies. Paperback Retail: $9.95 CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE |
| The Promised Land of Recovery: An LDS Guide to Overcoming Addiction Written by Brad Bertelsen The Lord saved Abraham, Lehi, the children of Israel, the Jaredites, modern pioneers, and many others from destruction and bondage. After their rescue, they were led to a land of promise where they could be blessed beyond measure and beyond their wildest dreams. The journey to the promised land became symbolic of their redemption and ultimately their return to the presence of God to enjoy exaltation and eternal life. The Promised Land of Recovery is a spiritual allegory demonstrating how Twelve-step recovery applies to scriptural patterns established in ancient and modern times. It is a message of hope and inspiration for those seeking recovery and discipleship, as seen through the eyes of a recovering alcoholic. Paperback Retail Price: $14.95 ISBN: 978-1-932597-67-7 |
| Marcus Martins was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Martins family joined the Church in 1972. In February 1978, Marcus Martins became engaged to Mirian Abelin Barbosa, who had just returned from serving in the Brazil São Paulo South Mission. Initially they planned on getting married in May 1978, but then postponed the marriage until after the dedication of the São Paulo Brazil Temple, so Mirian could be sealed to her parents at the same time. However, Mirian then decided not to follow that plan, and so they set a new marriage date of August 5. On June 8, 1978, Official Declaration—2 was announced. After much contemplation and prayer, Martins decided to serve a mission rather than get married immediately. He served in the Brazil São Paulo North Mission. |
| After returning from his mission, Martins married Marian. He worked for ten years as a systems analyst. During this time he also served as a bishop. In the late 1980s, Martins was involved in making a new translation of the Book of Mormon into Portuguese. Martins then went to Provo, where he studied for six years at Brigham Young University (BYU). He eventually earned a Ph.D. in sociology at BYU. He then worked as a religion professor at Brigham Young University–Idaho before taking his current position at BYU Hawaii. He is also the chair of BYU Hawaii's committee to promote a full understanding of English by its foreign students, who constitute over half of the student body. |
