Teachings of George Albert Smith 11: Revelation from God to His Children

RS/MP Lesson 9: “Open Your Soul to the Lord in Prayer” (George Albert Smith Manual)
Pres. Smith says, after God saved him from his harrowing, near-death experience, “my heart was filled with gratitude and humility that the Lord had . . . spared my life” (p. 95). What strikes me most about this lesson is the link between prayer, gratitude, and humility. On p. 99, we...

Relief Society Lesson #10: The Scriptures, the Most Valuable Library in the World
I’ve cut much of what GAS has written and would recommend having a lesson primarily on the scriptures and how to study them while supplementing with GAS’s words. My notes are in regular font, his are in italics. From what GAS says in the manual, it’s clear that this is a prophet with a...

Updating the RS/PH Manual Mid-Year?
Last night I noticed a change on lds.org. I’m not sure when it happened, but a new page has been added called “Common Questions for Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith, 2012.” (Notice the site dates the GAS manual itself as 2010, so this is evidently quite new.) Only...
RS/MP Lesson 8: “Temple Blessings for Ourselves and Our Ancestors” (George Albert Smith Manual)
As always, these notes provide insights into scripture with the intent that individuals will come to their own conclusions on how best to present the material in the manual. I know of no better way of accomplishing that task than by reading the scriptures. In my own lessons, quotes from the manual...

The “No Relief” Society?
MR says: A big thanks to Mormon Women for mentioning our article. I just happened upon this article at LDS Living, written by a woman named Chrisy Ross who is not a member of our faith. I appreciated how she candidly explains what it has been like to live in a community surrounded by members of The Church...
RS/MP Lesson 7: “The Immortality of the Soul” (George Albert Smith Manual)
In sports, sometimes a team is said to be playing not to lose, rather than playing to win. What does that mean, and how can it be applied to thinking about immortality? I don’t think immortality in this lesson is referring just to the absence of death, as we usually think of it. Rather, I think...
