But her longtime publisher, Covenant Communications Inc., has refused to pick up her latest book, arguing "The Captain of Her Heart" includes offensive material inappropriate for a Christian audience. Covenant, which has published all 25 of her books, refused to back the romance novel because its protagonist has premarital sex, Stansfield said. And two major LDS book retailers have said they won't stock the book even though Stansfield created her own company to publish the book. Stansfield, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, says that's unfair because her books have always dealt with "real-life" issues - including adultery and rape. "I have dealt with these issues, but I've dealt with them in a way I felt was appropriate and non-offensive," she said. "All of a sudden, they just rejected this book based on the premise that the characters committed a sin." Deseret Book judges works by any author on an individual basis, said Keith Hunter, the company's vice president. "We're a retailer, not a library. We choose our inventory based on research from customers and purchase the ones they think people will want. "In the case of this particular book, there were concerns about the content," he said. Hunter emphasized that the store would special order the book for customers who requested it. Seagull Book & Tape also is not carrying the book. A spokesman for Covenant Communications did not immediately return a phone message left by The Associated Press seeking comment. Stansfield says she's convinced that only a fraction of her audience is offended by the work. However, she says it's an enthusiastic minority giving the impression that she has offended more readers than is actually the case. "In the world, sexual issues are discussed very lightly and very crudely. Some people are so offended by that they don't want to talk about it all, because they're afraid it will put them in the same category," she said. "It's something that's a part of our lives, and it's something that should be discussed appropriately." [And here's a press release from Stansfield:] STANSFIELD SAILS WITH NOVEL REJECTED ON MORAL GROUNDS The Captain of Her Heart by best-selling author Anita Stansfield In 1994, Utah girl, Anita Stansfield, came out of nowhere to take the LDS book market by storm. Her approach to romantic fiction took on a whole new twist-it was based in reality. While Stansfield's novels always center around a relationship, her characters face tough issues, and the storyline is always focused on a healthy resolve of those dilemmas. She began writing at the age of sixteen and her first novel was picked up for publication sixteen years later. First Love and Forever shattered the previously idealistic take on Mormon fiction by putting its protagonist, Emily Hall, into-of all things-an unhappy temple marriage. While Stansfield's approach is respectful and appropriate to her religious beliefs and the issues she tackles, it's become evident that not everybody wants to take off the rose-colored glasses of idealism. "It's impossible to make everybody happy," Stansfield points out frankly. "While there have been only a small number of complaints in less than ten years, they have complained loudly and caused a tremendous stir." Covenant Communications of American Fork, the publisher of Stansfield's first twenty-five books, has apparently changed their tune in regard to that stir. With their logo on Stansfield's earlier titles dealing with premarital sex, adultery, rape, and many levels of abuse-among other issues-any reader would assume that they stood behind a bold facing of topics in a suitable way that might validate and educate those readers living in the real world and faced with real problems. In 1997 Covenant presented Stansfield with a special award for "pioneering new ground in LDS fiction," and three years later they refused to publish The Captain of Her Heart, based solely on the fact that the main characters had premarital sex. "I'd written about such things before," Stansfield says, "even more boldly than it was handled in this book. What was alright then, suddenly wasn't alright anymore." While Stansfield's reputation through more than a dozen novels, at that point, had clearly become her ability to deal with sin and abuse in an appropriate, value-oriented way, with consequences and healing clearly in place, her work seemed to be suddenly cast out for the same reason it had previously been embraced. "There was no warning as to the change in policy," the author goes on to say, "and months of work became a big hole in my publishing schedule." Apparently the "stir" began with the novel The Gable Faces East, a book that Stansfield describes as, "A passionate story that addresses some sensitive issues with very defined boundaries, and a strong protagonist who sticks to her values." If knowing there's scandal attached to this book prompts you to go out and buy it, you might be disappointed to find absolutely no reference to body parts or any offensive love scenes. "While I was hearing rumors that the book was considered 'pornographic and highly offensive,'" Stansfield says, "I was getting letters from mothers of teenaged girls thanking me (in regard to the same book) for writing a clean historical romance their daughters could read. Obviously personal opinion dictates what is offensive." It doesn't take much effort to find die-hard, loyal Anita Stansfield fans, but you might find it difficult to actually locate one that's disgruntled for any reason. The Captain of Her Heart, Volume I of The Buchanan Saga, has been picked up by Crosswalk Books, a new, independent publisher, and the book is sailing off the shelves with a sequel on the not-so-distant horizon. Seagull Book and Tape, a sister company to Covenant, has refused to sell this new release, claiming it does not meet their standards. Deseret Book has taken the same stand, and will not carry the book in their stores, a fact that has Stansfield confused. "I was told many months ago that Deseret Book's stand included a willingness to carry books that dealt with sin and abuse, as long as it wasn't written offensively and the consequences were clearly in place. The Captain certainly fits that description, but they still won't carry it." Dianne Empey, sales manager for Crosswalk Books, feels confident that loyal readers will find a way to get their hands on the book. "We have stores calling us and begging to carry the book," she says. "It's a powerful story with some great messages. I'm certain the few who might be offended are far outnumbered by those who will be touched for good through these characters." The Captain of Her Heart can be found at Borders and Media Play, as well as a number of independent LDS bookstores.

Anything less than the powers given these two people would minimize and gloss over the dynamic story of Joseph and Emma's lives. That is not to say that these to actors are qualified, personally to act the part. The powers we are each born with are listed in Isaiah 11:2. The Saviour, as stated, has all four. It is my hunch that in every marriage will be found all four. And to make that so, I am finding it is very likely that each person is given two of these powers. They are not gifts that are lost. They are the powers that our spirits hold in completeness. Our mortal bodies only allow two to be manifest. This creates some of the mathematics that allows Heavenly Father to be able to "know all things". The most powerful way these mathematics are manifest is on a pedigree chart and a family group sheet. I would be happy to share more of the small knowledge I am laboring to develop. It is my opinion that Joseph's powers were Counsel and Might(Valor) with Wisdom and Understanding. It is my opinion that Emma's were Truth with Fear of God. Isaiah calls them "the spirit of...". I think it is because these are powers which every spirit child of God has before birth and that the veil is drawn by the body denying two of those powers sometime during the period of 7-9 years of age.

The goal is to get an e-mail to your desktop and have you read it. The spammer has no interest in you actually responding to them, but only in acting on the content in the e-mail. Because the Internet e-mail system has NO way of verifying that the From address line is accurate or authentic, spammers take advantage of this. In most circumstances, the From address in a spam message is false. The spammer knows that you are on the AML-List (probably from a virus or worm on a single AML user's desktop) and sends us messages because we trust the AML-List. The messages are sent directly to us all and the moderator of the AML-list does not receive them except as a normal user. In short, the spam is NOT coming from the AML-List.

Jesus loves me, and He loves all of = mankind enough to bless us all with the gift of the resurrection, but = over and above that He loves us enough to offer Himself as a sacrifice = and to live through unbelievable pain and suffering for our sins. Only = after He had suffered all, did He allow his soul to leave his body and = return to His father.=20 As I watched the movie, I thought to myself, How much physical abuse and = blunt force trauma can the human body endure?

The resurrection is a free gift which Jesus gives to all who have lived, = are now living, or will ever live.

Chances are that the aml-list and aml-digest email addresses are all but permanently messed up. One of the effects of the recent spate of viruses is that a lot of email addresses have been mined from peoples' individual address books and added to spam lists, as we've all seen recently. **This spate of spam is not the result of any action by AML-List, xmission, or any of their personnel.** It's an artifact of a virus that someone (perhaps several someones) on AML-List is infected with. The virus picks a name out of the victim's email address book and sends random messages out to other people in the address book using the first name as cover. Basically, the virus vectors off of names in your address book to hide where it's really coming from. A couple of notes about how to deal with the spam you're getting from AML-List. * Just delete it. * Don't acknowledge receipt in any way. * Don't visit any Web links inside the message. * Don't open any attachments. * Don't follow the "remove" link; it's a fake designed to verify your email address, not take you off the mailing list. If you try to remove yourself from one of these spams, you're only going to validate that you're a real, live target and the spam will never stop. Sadly, I know this one from experience. Only legitimate mass mailers actually honor "remove" links; the bad guys exploit them. ===== That I know of, there are only three real options at this point: * Wait it out. Spam lists get old and eventually AML-List will fall off the active list if no one responds. * Get xmission to implement some sort of spam filter. This can be a problem, as most spammers use rotating (often false) send addresses so traditional kill files don't work. Some text-based filters can skim a lot of the spam, but mass emailers are wont to intentionally misspell words do avoid screening. Sadly, spammers can adapt faster than ISPs in most cases. * Shut down the list and try it again elsewhere with a new email address. - ----- Again, the key thing is that you have to just ignore the spam that does come. It's obnoxious and often offensive (I got a porn spam today with full-color explicit pictures), but the only possible way to make unsolicited emails stop is to act as though they never arrived. I know this is all old hat for veteran email users, but it never hurts to review sound policy. I would happily participate in the class action suit against the virus maker(s) should s/he/they ever be caught.
