So a careful study of this book should not lead you down this path. But it is emphasized by Spencer that this is not what we are to do. What bad could come from it? I suppose one could make all their decisions based on the information in this book and ignore the Spirit and the prophets of the church. These are good things that the prophets have been encouraging us to do for years. If the events described in the book from SpencerвЂ™s visions are literal, then what? Well, it makes me want to be more prepared spiritually and temporally. We may gain insights from it, but we should seek our light and knowledge through study and prayer and seeking to learn by the Spirit. But Spencer reiterates often that this vision was to teach him and was for him. I believe as Joseph Smith stated the the Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on earth.Д«ut I still find his visions and interpretations of his visions fascinating. I donвЂ™t think the book is perfect and I donвЂ™t expect it to be. Throughout the book, I didnвЂ™t notice very many glaring contradictions to what I have learned throughout my life in the church. I found some people take his vision very literally, while others completely dismiss it. He is referred to as вЂњSpencerвЂќ throughout the book.ДЄfter reading the book I could certainly understand why he wanted to remain anonymous and I couldnвЂ™t argue with his reasoning. The man who had the visions remains anonymous. I did more research to hear othersвЂ™ thoughts on it. While I found it fascinating, I really didnвЂ™t want to be deceived. It took the whole trip there and back to complete the book from the point where I had left off.

I started listening to it alone, but my wife joined in and listed with me on a long trip from Salt Lake City to Boise, Idaho. I thought this whole book was fascinating. Ultimately, after getting to know John Pontius better I became far more interested in Visions of Glory and decided to purchase the audiobook. But that is another story IвЂ™ll blog about later. It wasnвЂ™t until he loaned me his copy of Journey to the Veil and I read a few excerpts that I got much more interested in John Pontius and his writings. I never took the time to read them though. My father-in-law had actually recommended a few books by John Pontius. IвЂ™ll simply share my thoughts from having read (listed to) it. I wonвЂ™t go into what the book is about as I think that can be covered elsewhere. My thoughts: ItвЂ™s about a manвЂ™s dream or vision.
