My sister said the book come from this group:

 

http://www.livingtruthwithin.com

Appears to be led by a Loray Hattaway that channels a number of biblical persons as well as Joseph Smith.

She is also the leader of the Church of the Firstborn of Nampa, Idaho.

Never heard of that Mormon sect until now.

Jim

It appears to have at least 5 members...

I am not sure it qualifies as a Mormon sect since it looks as if it takes stuff from everywhere.  She does appear to be from a LDS family though.

I found this thread when I, too, was looking for information about this book. Other than its own webpage, this is the only Google hit for the title. Since I couldn't find reviews, I went with my gut and ordered, read the book.

This book is NOT produced by the LivingTruthWithin group and DOESN'T suggest or encourage any following. It ISN'T comparable to Denver Snuffer (whom I haven't read, but know his general beliefs/actions, and disagree with them). Perhaps your sister just wanted to be a part of a following so she looked at where the book was printed. 

The book is about the broad power of the atonement, and encourages a richer relationship with Christ. 

This is a good and inspired book with no quackery.

I'm interested in why you think they are not related.  I have researched it and I can show you how they are.  This book may contain truth, but it is from the wrong source.  Don't think that the adversary can't reveal truth

Please do share your research as that is good practice. Also, please read and share any falsehood you find in the book.  If it is good, then it can only be proven with the cover opened and pages turned. Don't be scared to find out! 

Without drawing attention to myself, I'd like to say that my opinion should have more weight than all the commenters who haven't read the book. I read since no one else had so that I could answer the original question authentically. And my opinion is that it is well worth the read and reread. I would love to hear others' thoughts but please read the book before forming and spreading them to avoid confusion.

Has anyone found additional information about this book? My brother was given this book a while back and is convinced that it is some sort of lost book that the general authorities have not told us about. I have read it and I am thoroughly convinced that it is not of divine origin. Although there are some decent things within the book (although there are also many things that are assuredly false), it has planted a seed of doubt within my brother, making him seek answers from this book rather than his priesthood leaders and general leaders. I feel it is a subtle way of undermining faith that will eventually lead to ill. It convinces the reader to partake in repetitious prayer (which the book of Alma tells us to avoid), to believe in administering without the need of laying on of hands, speaks at great length of heavenly mother (which we know, is a sacred personage that is intentionally not spoken of), and worst of all teaches a character of Christ that is inconsistent with who we know him to be. I would love if anyone has additional information that I could share with my brother. 

On a separate note, Sunflower above is either affiliated with the book’s publication or is the author. She claims that the book is not affiliated with LivingTruthWithin but the two (Christspeaks.info and Livingtruthwithin) share the exact same postal address and content from the book is found on both websites.
