This illustrated edition has been revised and offers a new postscript by the author.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Go to, let US go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.

21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.

22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a laying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a laying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.

For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

Surely prince of the power of the air will do nothing, but he revealeth his plans unto his servants, the false prophets.

I’m not a mormon -redacted-"

The pharmaceutical companies have indicated that they will give volume discounts in 'special' circumstances. :)
