Amazed by Grace


Sheri Dew - 2015
    Yet how many of us truly understand grace and how to unlock the power it contains?In Amazed by Grace, author Sheri Dew considers four questions: What is grace? What difference can grace make in our lives? How does the Savior make His power available to us? And what must we do to gain access to the Savior's power?Expand your understanding of grace and broaden your gospel horizon with Sheri as she reminds us that "the central, most compelling, most life-changing message of all time is that Jesus Christ already triumphed over sin, death, hell and every kind of misery. Surely there is nothing our Father is more eager for us to understand than the breathtaking scope of the Atonement of His Son and the power the Atonement makes available to us."

Yesterday, Today, and Forever


M. Russell Ballard - 2015
    Russell Ballard bears a unique heritage. A descendant of Hyrum Smith and Joseph F. Smith, Elder Ballard was also blessed with two grandfathers who were Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hyrum Mack Smith and Melvin J. Ballard left volumes of their sermons, writings, letters, and family records. In studying their words, Elder Ballard was reminded of this truth: "God is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Mormon 9:9).His latest book shares a collection of his difficult-to-find messages given during his service as a General Authority, paired with related teachings from his grandfathers. "What I have taught," writes Elder Ballard, "is largely an echo of what was taught by my grandfathers."As the three Apostles share a common witness of the truths of the restored gospel, one thing becomes clear: although programs and policies may change, doctrine is eternal. It is both timely and timeless. The doctrine of the gospel is forever relevant to disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Awake As In Ancient Days: The Christ-Centered Kundalini Yoga Experience


Felice Austin - 2015
    It is clear from the many scriptural references to awakening that the ancients, and especially Jesus Christ were concerned about the state of sleepwalking through life. The ancient science of Kundalini Yoga, preserved for millennia and only recently taught openly in our day, is a wonderful technology for renewing the mind, purifying the heart, elevating the spirit, and awakening the divine potential within. Never at any time has this technology been more necessary and complementary to a faith-based life. Scriptural, yogic, and modern prophecies suggest that we have entered a new age of humanity. Life is accelerating, and all things are in commotion as we prepare to usher in the thousand years of peace. Join Nam Joti Kaur (Felice Austin) as she unravels layers of Christ’s teachings, her own story, and the stories of other faithful Saints on the Christ-centered Kundalini Yoga journey.
