New Release from Polar Star Press

Is eternity real, or just wishful thinking? In his new book, Historical Society president Glenn Thomas Carson shows that eternity is both real and an exciting place to be. While tackling issues about what happens to us in this life and the next, The Eternity Principle addresses the real connections between our world and the spiritual world. For those who yearn for a closer relationship with God, this book points the way with fresh ideas and new approaches.

The President's Desk

Dear Friends,

The light flows into my office through beautiful stained glass. The mixture of colors blend together to form a wonder for the eyes that no one color can do alone. It reminds me each day that we may be separated by miles and time-zones, but the commitment to our faith story that we share joins us in a way that makes the distance disappear. Indeed, your light shines here so brightly, it's like having a second sunrise. And, again, I say thank you.

Keeping Our Promise,
glenn
