Life After Death: 6 Insights into the Spirit World
Brent L. Top
- In 1990, I attended the annual conference of the International Association of Near-Death Studies, held that year in Washington, DC with Robert Millet. We didn’t quite know what to expect. Was the conference going to be comprised of “UFO chasers,” people with aluminum foil hats, and the like? But it wasn’t like that at all. There were scientists, medical doctors, scholars from many academic disciplines, theologians and clerics from diverse faiths, and many good women and men who had experienced some sort of encounter with the spirit world and sought to make sense of it all. As impressive as this gathering...
Bearing Your Testimony: 5 Powerful Tips
Kelsey Berteaux
- Sitting in the back of the chapel during fast and testimony meeting feels like a safe bet—until we get the spiritual prompting to stand up and bear our testimonies. For several minutes, we struggle with whether or not we really should. We rationalize. We're teaching Gospel Doctrine this week. We just bore our testimony last year, right? We don't have anything special to say. We're scared. Unlike a talk, which is usually prepared in advance , testimonies are usually given spur of the moment, and that makes them a whole different kind of difficult. But a personal testimony, accompanied by the...
3 Tips for Preparing Your Children for Baptism
Jenny Spencer
- As the aunt of 10 nieces and nephews, I love to watch my brother and sisters raise their kids. Among the grandchildren in my family, we’ve got two daredevils, two wild-childs, one bossy pants, and the sweetest autistic boy you’ll ever meet. Needless to say, wrangling—I mean, parenting—these kids is never the same for my brother and sisters. So when the children near the age of eight, how do they—and parents everywhere—decide on the best way to teach their child about the importance of baptism? And how much does the child actually understand? ► You'll also like: 9 Books to Help...
"The First Time I Saw the Missionaries Was Through the Scope of My Rifle"
Malcolm Leal, adapted from "Faith Among Shadows"
- The first time I saw the LDS missionaries was through the scope of my sniper rifle—their white shirts strikingly visible against the intense green of the jungle. Who would dare be so visible in the middle of a war? During my seven years in the Cuban military, I was trained by the Soviets and Vietnamese to carry out special warfare and insurgency operations throughout the world. We smuggled guns, ammunition, people, and explosives to 27 countries. We exploited revolution in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. We made war—that was our only purpose. Though I had no faith of my...

Grace: One Profound Explanation That Will Answer Your Questions
Tad R. Callister, excerpted from "The Infinite Atonement"
- The Power to Exalt Us One might appropriately wonder how the Atonement can be effective in the lives of mortals. Even though we seek to be worthy and to repent of our sins, in the end we are all, in one way or another, unprofitable servants (see Mosiah 2:21 ). Given our weakness and our recurring failings, how are we able to receive the many blessings of the Atonement in our lives? How are we able to receive of its cleansing powers, or peace, or succor, or freedom? How does the perfection and exaltation of an imperfect being come about? Nephi...

Danielle B Wagner
- Superhero creator Stan Lee was a titan of comic book history. The 95-year-old former editor-and-chief of Marvel Comics was known for his powerful writing and unlimited imagination. “Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created," Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger said in a statement. "A superhero in his own right to Marvel fans around the world, Stan had the power to inspire, to entertain and to connect. The scale of his imagination was only exceeded by the size of his heart." To help remember Lee and his incredible talent as a comic book writer, we have compiled a...

- The impressive professional resume of President Henry B.

Trent Toone, for LDS Living
- Taysom Hill, the once injury-prone BYU quarterback, is now making his way in the NFL as a jack-of-all-trades.
