Support

If you like what I do here and want to support me, then first of all - thank you! That having been said, I'm not interested in monetizing this site, it isn't a business. If you want to support me anyways, then I presume that our interests are aligned and the best support that I could receive is access to greater resources for researching Book of Abraham-related topics. So if you've come this far and desire to go a step further, the following list of books are on my Amazon wishlist and relate in some way to my Abrahamic studies (I'll update this list as it changes). And thank you to those who have supported me!

Post a comment at the bottom of this page if you want to contact me about supporting me with any of the books below, or email me directly at mcbarka at hotmail.com (Subject line: Book of Abraham).
