Celestial Symbols By Allen H. Barber

Making a search on Ebay I found this book and I thought it was very interesting the topics that cover and I would like to know if any of you heard about it. Is it a normal book covering LDS doctrine or is it an Anti-Mormon book?.

It appears to be a book true to the topic and not anti. I found this https://www.cedarfort.com/catalog/0882903446.html description of it.

Thanks Tena. It looks like an interesting book to purchase, particularly the part that explains the symbols used in Temple Ceremonies.

I may have actually gotten this link off this forum, I can't remember. However, it seems like a good site dealing with this exact subject.

It is a good book. I believe that this author was a Bishop when he wrote it. It was out of print for the longest and was hard to come by, but it was made available again in the past few years. This book as a good book and was difficult to come across at a good price when it was out of print. The publisher has been republishing some of the hard to find popular books. It is a good book that looks at LDS temple symbolism.
