by Dennis D. Doddridge (Author) Brigham Young truly brought much insight into understanding the reality of our Father and God. One concept of which he spoke throughout his ministry as the Prophet, Seer and Revelator of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was "Composition and Decomposition." Yet, the world of literature is peculiarly absent in addressing this profound and simple doctrine that helps to explain so much about how eternity operates. This book changes that.This doctrine provides an explanation how and why all things including mankind organize from "native element" and may disorganize. It explains how the Gods implement "eternal progression" and the consequences of obedience or disobedience to the eternal and inviolable laws that controls this universe.Additionally from these teachings, a comprehensive theory has been developed and is detailed in this book that also provides possible answers to many mysteries that are dangling in the Bible and other scripture. Who were the giants in the Bible, who were the sons of God who married daughters of men? Why did Noah qualify who and what went into the ark with "wherein there is the breath of life?" Why did the ancients such as Methuselah live to be over 900 years of age? What did we look like before we came to earth?This book provides possible answers to these and many other questions."Composition, Decomposition and Eternity" is the second of a two volume set called the Journal of References. Volume 1 of this set is also available, titled "The Adam-God Revelation." Composition and decomposition are at the root of President Young's teachings and his perception of eternity; they help to understand how his Adam-God doctrine is a reality. Author Biography Dennis Doddridge was raised in several of the Protestant religions. His father, Fredrick, freelanced part time as an independent minister, preaching what today would be regarded as Evangelical. When Dennis was about twelve years old, he with his family converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Dennis served a successful two and one half year mission to Germany in the West German Mission, and has since filled many different Church positions. Dennis confesses to be a bit of a non-conformist in his thinking as some of his writings will bear out. Now semi-retired, he enjoys studying, writing and tinkering in his shop.
