By A Thread
"By a thread by Marco Martinez is a gem in both genres of history and spirituality. It uses a unique mix of American and LDS history combined with scripture and literature to paint a picture of why we are where we are in the history of this country (and world). Through his wealth of resources and quotes he leads us through his analysis which is both logical and full of wisdom. He uses examples from the past as he shows us what certain societies did successfully and unsuccessfully in pursuit of Zion.
He invites us to shed the deceit of Babylon as we love first God, then neighbor and defend the constitution to attain peace inwardly and outwardly. After reading this book I strengthened my appreciation for the constitution and Book of Mormon, my love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and my desire to become a better person. This book is filled with hope and motivation."
It is a paperback book and is sold at cost; no royalties are made from it. I just gave away more copies to neighbors and local friends by request. The following is an excerpt from the final page of my book. If you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for?
"Don't try to escape from reality. Like the pressures of deep water to the pearl diver, it is a sign you are in the right place, doing what you are meant to do.
Don't try to avoid pain. If you are reconciled to God, pain is the revelation of what you lack.
Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die. Everyone wants to be a beast until it’s time to do what beasts do. Embrace the vision of who you really are when it matters the most, when you are neck-deep in pressure and the only way out is through. True happiness is found only in facing and embracing all the undesirable things in this world! You do not receive happiness in the world to come in the same way people try to find it here. It isn’t that the undesirable things are taken away, it is that you have transcended them.
Sacrifices were required of brave men and women who ran to the sound of battle to found a nation, which became the cradle of liberty to a people with the opportunity and the solemn duty to “lift up an ensign to the nations,” (Isaiah 5:26) and to form a peculiar people—a light unto the world, even Zion. It will yet require the sacrifices of brave men and women who run to the sound of battle that is subtly being waged on the world stage by that great whore Babylon. Zion as yet remains unredeemed and the Constitution hangs by a thread. Are you embracing the vision of who you really are? Now is when it matters most. It’s time to take a stand, choose a side, and make your voice heard because the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing."

Re: By A Thread
I forgot to note that I have made my book available to download freely. I am currently narrating it chapter by chapter in my new Youtube channel because I have had requests for it to be made available as an audiobook. This book has helped a lot of members understand better what Joseph Smith was trying to do which the church doesn't talk about today. It's not part of today's narrative.

Secret combinations are more obvious today than ever. More people are longing for Zion and tired of Babylon and all its trappings. Have you read Buy A Thread yet?

Re: By A Thread
I just finished the book this week. I really enjoyed it. It is well thought out and the chapters flow well. It would make a good primer to give to an LDS member who's not as familiar or oblivious to the secret combinations around us and the embracing of Babylon even within the church. There are some good quotes and scriptures that i was unfamiliar with and/or had forgotten. Thanks for all your study and labor in producing such a fine work. I look forward to any future publishing works of yours.
Hardcopies are only around $5! I'm buying some to give away to family and friends.

I haven't read it all but I've read several portions and it's really good so far. I was fascinated by some of the things about Lincoln. Thank you for writing it! I will finish it and give feedback.
