Cleansing of America by Dr. Cleon Skousen to be Released

For the fans of the great Dr. Cleon Skousen's work, you are in for a HUGE treat. Dr. Skousen is well-known for two particular books Glenn Beck took a huge liking to: The 5,000 Year Leap and Making of America. So let me tell you a little bit about the exciting news we have in store for you.

There comes a moment in every person's life when a defining moment occurs. We can take that moment and fulfill it to the fullest, or we can let fear override us and walk away. I think it's safe to say that I have never been one to walk away.

Several months ago I caught wind of some unpublished manuscripts by a noted Constitutional scholar and theologian and started seeing what I could do to get Valor Publishing Group the publishing rights. Dr. W. Cleon Skousen has long been one of my favorites. The 5,000 Year Leap, Making of America, and The Living Christ, both volumes, are prominently displayed, and well read, in my home library. So I didn't give up, I kept chipping away and doing what I could to speak with the sons of W. Cleon Skousen.

In the meantime, I started researching Dr. Skousen and came to admire the man tremendously. Of course, I was a fan of his work--obviously--but until I learned more about the man I didn't understand how amazing he truly was.

Yesterday I signed a contract with the executors of C&J Investments, the legal entity for the Skousen family, to publish and distribute Dr. Cleon Skousen's Cleansing of America, which details the prophecies concerning America leading up to the latter days. Valor Publishing Group begins taking pre-orders today and Cleansing of America will be released, nationwide, on April 1, 2010. Those who reserve their copies of this incredible book in advance, will have it signed by Paul, Harry and Brent Skousen and shipped to your door one week prior to April 1st.

Dr. Cleon Skousen spent the majority of his life researching the gospel, the U.S. Constitution, the founding of America and writing numerous books and articles on the topic, and he is one of the most well-known, respected apologists of America and the gospel the world has ever known. At the time of his passing in 2006, his work was not yet finished. His book Cleansing of America, written in 1994 and given into the care and keeping of his sons, is now being brought forth for the first time ever.

Included in these pages are the events and stages the Lord has predicted, through his servants, the winding-up scenes of this world. It helps the reader understand: the nature of prophecy, the known chronology of prophetic events, and the importance of staying close to the Lord and his Prophets during the difficult and challenging years prior to the Second Coming. We are fast approaching those prophetic events. Some are upon us even now.

If we are prepared and obedient, we need not fear these events, but rather embrace them for the blessings they portend.

And here was what I learned about this great man:

W. Cleon Skousen (1913-2006), an ardent supporter of God, country, and the unlimited potential for greatness in all people, passed away at his Salt Lake City home on January 9, 2006, of natural causes incident to age, just eleven days shy of his ninety-third birthday. He was lovingly surrounded by many family members, and Jewel, his wife of sixty-nine years.

Dr. Skousen was the author of The Making of America, and was known by millions for his devoted understanding and support of the U.S. Constitution, his love of the gospel of Jesus Christ, his insights into politics, religion, good government, and human nature. He leaves behind an exhaustive work of scholarship created over three-quarters of a century and covering dozens of specialties. Among his 46 books he wrote are the bestsellers, The Naked Communist, The Naked Capitalist, So You Want to Raise a Boy, The Five Thousand Year Leap, and Fantastic Victory about the Israel-Arab war of 1967.

His books on religion, such as The First 2,000 Years, Prophecy and Modern Times, Isaiah Speaks to Modern Times, Treasures from the Book of Mormon, and Days of the Living Christ, reached millions of readers in the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic communities.

His speech entitled "A Personal Search for the Meaning of the Atonement" is perhaps the most widely distributed CD among members and missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-a fact that made him smile in astonishment. "I've had missionaries tell me that speech has been translated into Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French, and has been passed around on every continent where missionaries serve."

Skousen served sixteen years in J. Edgar Hoover's FBI as an agent and the communications director during the waning years of the gangster era and WWII. He also was the editor of the nation's leading police magazine, "Law and Order."

He was a popular teacher of several thousand students at Brigham Young University for sixteen years, and a highly respected speaker across the country where he sometimes gave as many as 300 speeches a year. His devotion to America's Founding Fathers and the Constitution led to the creation of "The Freeman Institute," later known as the "National Center for Constitutional Studies," an organization through which his speeches and writings educated and united large segments of voters to elect senators, congressmen, governors and presidents who loved the Constitution.

Known for his untiring devotion to principle and integrity, he served as Salt Lake City's chief of police and created what Time Magazine called "A model police force." After four years of service, the city mayor created a firestorm of protest when he fired Skousen on trumped-up charges, an event the mayor later called the worst political mistake of his life.

Skousen and his wife maintained a modest home in Salt Lake City that became a stopover for any person with political aspirations in Utah and beyond. Friends and visitors included ecclesiastical leaders of all faiths, politicians from each major parties, students of all ages, and of course, the local missionaries, every Sunday night.

Skousen was born in Raymond, Alberta, Canada on Jan. 20, 1913, and was educated in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. He served a two-year mission for the LDS Church at age seventeen. He earned his PhD at George Washington University. He and Jewel are the parents of eight children, 50 grandchildren, and 100+ great-grand children.

Just before Dr. Skousen died, he completed the manuscript of Cleansing of America . He asked his sons to hold on to this manuscript until certain conditions were met. His sons feel the current climate of America meets their father's conditions and are thrilled to release this previously unpublished work of the man who was affectionately known as “a living national treasure.

We at Valor Publishing Group feel deeply honored to play a small part in releasing Cleansing of America to the world.
