Cover for "Behold the Mother of My Lord" and another book announcement

Happy St. Stephen's Day (or "Boxing Day" for those in the UK).

Two announcements: My book, Behold the Mother of My Lord: Towards a Mormon Mariology is in the final stages of editing and should be sent to the publisher in the next few days. Here is the cover:






I have also edited my notes on the LDS Priesthoods, and that will soon be published as a book, too. The tentative title as of this post is:

"After the Order of the Son of God": The Biblical and Historical Evidence for Latter-day Saint Theology of the Priesthood
