The Lost Language of Symbolism

Filed under: Good Books

The last book I want to mention is one that I hope to have further thoughts on as I read it.
I picked it up several years ago but was unable to read it for many reasons. Now I have picked it up again, and it is fascinating to read. I would suggest anyone that has the book to read along, and comment here on things you like until I get the next post up.

Until then, get The Lost Langauge of Symbolism by Alonzo L. Saskill and enjoy the new insights you may get from learning how so many things are symbolic in nature.

As stated on the flap insert, once you understand the symbolism the scriptures and the ordinances of the temple can open up to you. Again it is a great reference book and one that would go hand in hand with the other books I have mentioned.

  1. I have a copy of The Lost Language of Symbolism and read it awhile back. It was interesting and full of information. There is too much to just remember, but it does make a good reference book in that you can look up particular things that you have run across. One thing it did for me was to open my eyes to all the symbolism that can be in a passage of scripture that I had previously had no idea was there. Symbolism is a very interesting study, and I appreciate your mentioning some of the books you’ve run across about it.

  3. I’ll get the book out this evening and start thinking about what I might say in a post about it. That’d be kind of fun, really.
