Kimball influenced millions of Church members throughout his ministry. He observed, "I do not claim to be a scholar. In all my sermons, my objective is to get people doing things, the good things, and the right things. Knowledge is of no value unless used."President Kimball's sermons and writings showed men and women how to follow the Lord's commandments. The quotations in this book have been selected from seven hundred sources- books, articles, letters, and sermons delivered in many settings. They provide instruction and inspiration on a wide range of gospel topics, including recurring themes about our dependency on the Savior, our responsibility to keep his commandments, our need to pursue perfection by "lengthing our stride," and our hope of a marvelous joy now and in eternity. This timeless book is an indispensable resource for every Latter-day Saint home.Paperback Published: January 2003 Pages: 688

    Stephen R. Covey teaches that these events answer seven foundational questions, each of which affects our capacity to fulfill our divine potential. •WHO? Who is God? Who is Christ? Who am I? Who are you?•WHOSE? Whose are we? To whom do we belong? Who paid the price? Who is the source of our salvation?•HOW? How do I get back to my God, my Father, my Creator? How can I become a partaker of the divine nature?•WHERE? Where do I go? Where can I find support, opportunity to serve, and direction for my life?•WHAT? What do I do? What is my work in mortality?•WHY? What's it all about? Why am I on earth? Why do I need to be married for time and eternity?•WHEN? The seventh question is answered in the sequence of the six events.

    Her words resonate with those who feel trapped, but who long to be restored as the "princesses" God created them to be. As she shares her life experiences, Serita's insights and encouragement will surround readers with hope, giving them the courage and strength to break free and experience wholeness in Christ.

    But she can find power in her seemingly endless and ordinary tasks when she sees how they symbolize her covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. In this insightful exploration of domestic life, Stephanie Dibb Sorensen shows how everything a mother does, from folding laundry and washing dishes to refereeing arguments and taking temperatures, is designed to bear record of the Savior’s atoning mission. Through scriptural exploration and personal experience, she illustrates how the ongoing chaos of an active home enables a mother to develop the Lord’s attributes as a creator, teacher, healer, provider, and cleanser—thus giving her the opportunity to do for her family, on a smaller scale, what Christ does for the human family.[Release Date in March 2013]

    

    While all churches have truth and do many good things, the scriptures speak of "One Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Ephesians 4:5). The Lord's true Church can be identified by how it follows the blueprint of Christ's Church as He established it on earth. Tad R. Callister's book outlines the basic principles of that blueprint and demonstrates the strength of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the one church that matches it. He also clearly teaches the core doctrine of the Church to help members share it in a clear and powerful way. This book is a helpful resource for new converts, those preparing to serve missions, and experienced members who want to better understand basic principles and doctrines or share them with others.
