Danielle B. Wagner

How This Aspect of the Book of Mormon Helped a Man Come Back to the Church
Tad R. Callister, excerpted from "A Case for the Book of Mormon"
- The story is told of a church that evidently lost some of its parishioners to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In an effort to counterattack, the church put on its marquee the following message: “Don’t read the Book of Mormon—that is how they get you.” And in fact, that is how the Spirit does “get you”: by bearing witness of the truth of that sacred book. I have no doubt that many critics of the Church and of the Book of Mormon are intelligent people, but recognizing and receiving spiritual truth is not a function of one’s IQ;...

There have been dozens of important inventions by Latter-day Saints throughout the years, but this is merely a sampling of some...

How the Temple Helps Us Apply Christ's Atonement
Bruce C. Hafen and Marie K. Hafen, excerpted from "The Contrite Spirit"
- The following excerpt originally appeared on LDS Living in October 2015. The role of sacrifice in the temple illustrates how the temple ordinances embody and teach higher Melchizedek-level principles.
