September 2015 Home Teaching Message: "Families and Prayer"

Once, as I sat by my father’s bedside through the night, he talked about his childhood. He spoke of the love of his parents in difficult times and of the love of his Heavenly Father and the Savior.

Quiz: What Would Your Book of Mormon Name Be?

By LDS Living Staff

Most of us have met an Isaiah or two in our lifetime, or maybe even a Jeremiah, Esther, Adam, or Ruth. The practice of naming children after Bible figures isn't new and has existed for centuries. In fact, I remember watching the old classic Seven Brides for Seven Brothers growing up, where a set of backwoods parents humorously give all seven of their sons Bible names, alphabetically of course: Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frank (short for Frankincense), and Gideon.

A single statement made by a single leader on a single occasion often represents a personal, though well-considered, opinion, but is not meant to be officially binding for the whole Church.
