House of David: Life Everlasting

The House of David story has fascinated the minds of millions for over a century! It was a place in Michigan that was surrounded by mystery, religion, romance, baseball, travel, sex (or lack thereof), scandal, and huge wealth. It was all based on an unusual religious colony that called themselves the "House of David". Their leader and founder Benjamin Purnell preached that he was teaching the way to have "eternal life of the body" and the way to live forever on earth. Converts traveled from afar to hear the message and many would join their colony, giving up all of their worldly possessions in exchange for the promise of everlasting life.
