Ephraim's Rescue

Over the past six months I've been scoring original music for a film. I'm also producing the soundtrack.

After the success of "17 Miracles" in 2011, legendary Utah cinematographer and film-maker TC Christensen invited me to work on his next big independent film due in theaters June 2013.

I am honored that TC believes my heartfelt music would meshed wonderfully with his movie making skill to introduce listeners to the remarkable story of a faithful believer in God's power.

Both the music and the film capture the essence of pioneer era frontiersman Ephraim Hanks, a man filled with the Spirit of God, yet endowed with the profound gift of childlike faith.

From the haunting thematic melody of Traveler through period pieces and additional songs by Dallyn Vail Balles, Steven Sharp Nelson and Aaron Ashton, this soundtrack will take the listener on a journey through one of the most iconic events in Western American history.

Look for the soundtrack in Deseret Book, on iTunes, my website, and/or wherever you like to download music.

Search the Scriptures for Truth

In 1831, after the publication of The Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, Prophet for the Lord Jesus Christ said, "Search the scriptures—search the revelations which we publish, and ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, to manifest the truth unto you, and if you do it with an eye single to His glory nothing doubting, He will answer you by the power of His Holy Spirit. You will then know for yourselves and not for another. You will not then be dependent on man for the knowledge of God; nor will there be any room for speculation. No; for when men receive their instruction from Him that made them, they know how He will save them. Then again we say: Search the Scriptures, search the Prophets and learn what portion of them belongs to you and the people of the nineteenth century."

"You, no doubt, will agree with us, and say, that you have no right to claim the promises of the inhabitants before the flood; that you cannot found your hopes of salvation upon the obedience of the children of Israel when journeying in the wilderness, nor can you expect that the blessings which the apostles pronounced upon the churches of Christ eighteen hundred years ago, were intended for you. Again, if others' blessings are not your blessings, others' curses are not your curses; you stand then in these last days, as all have stood before you, agents unto yourselves, to be judged according to your works."

What Do I Believe?

Many of us spend our lives looking for something to hold on to, something that will last. We look for ways to avoid aging or to become famous or rich. But we eventually realize that mortal life is temporary. Friends and family members grow old and die, the famous are soon forgotten, and wealth is lost as quickly as it is won.

Our hope and happiness lie in knowing who we are, where we came from, and where we can go. We are eternal beings, spirit children of an eternal God. Our lives can be compared to a three-act play: pre-mortal life (before we came to earth), mortal life (our time here on earth), and post-mortal life (where we go after we die). God has had a plan for our lives since the beginning of the first act—a plan that, if followed, provides comfort and guidance now, as well as salvation and eternal happiness in our post-mortal life.

Understanding the following can help us live a happier life now and in eternity.


GOD IS OUR FATHER
God is the Father of our spirits. We are created in His image. We have a divine nature and destiny.




WE LIVED WITH GOD
Before we were born, we lived with God, the Father of our spirits. All persons on earth are literally brothers and sisters in the family of God.




EARTH LIFE IS PART OF GOD'S PLAN
Our life on earth has purpose. Coming to earth is part of God's plan for us to gain a physical body and learn to choose between good and evil.




JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY
Our Heavenly Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Savior and show us the way to live according to God's plan.




WE CAN FIND HAPPINESS
Following God's plan for us is the surest way to find happiness and endure life's challenges.




WE CAN LIVE WITH GOD AND THOSE WE LOVE AGAIN
Our lives will not end when we die. Our future lives are determined by the way we live our lives now.

The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon may have been made into a Tony Award Winning Musical, but few know the truth about it's message. I believe the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It helps reaffirm all that the Bible teaches about our Savior, Jesus Christ. Here are some people who have been changed by it's message.





Andy and Amos and The Book of Mormon
by John Mark Reynolds, Professor of Philosophy for Biola

I am no Mormon, but I have witnessed bigotry and ignorance directed against this American community. The LDS Church is placed in the difficult position of seeing their most sacred beliefs mocked in a nation that murdered their prophet in a shameful lynching. Broadway has given aid and comfort to the mob of ignorant folk who know nothing of modern Mormonism outside of their prejudices. Read More

Who is Joseph Smith?

I believe in Jesus Christ. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints better known as the Mormons. Our Christian faith began with Joseph Smith, who millions consider a modern day Prophet like Moses or Paul. This is the true story of his life and how the Mormon church began.
