LDS Singer/Songwriter Calee Reed Sharing Hope After Mother Dies of Cancer

By Calee Reed

I remember the moment that I first heard contemporary Christian worship music: a friend of mine was sharing a song he was planning on playing at his youth worship services that coming Sunday. I listened out of politeness—I wasn't expecting to feel anything. Before the song was even halfway over, however, I was feeling something— something that moved me deeply. That friend and I spent hours talking about the similarities and differences in our faith over the weeks and months that we worked together.

The Prayer That Led President Ballard's Grandfather to Seeing the Savior Face to Face

By M. Russell Ballard

Even though he died when I was just 10 years old, Melvin J. Ballard has been a major influence in my life. For as long as I can remember I have heard my family talk about his love for the Lord and his unwavering devotion to the Church.

In fact, my personal quest for knowledge of the Savior was motivated to a great degree by Grandfather Ballard's account of one of his most sacred experiences.

What a thrilling time it is to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! When I think about recent developments in the Lord’s kingdom, it seems obvious that God is taking us on a soul-stirring journey with hills and vales and vistas so stunning we can scarcely imagine them until we climb a little higher and there they are before us.

Why Does the Book of Mormon Reference an Ominous "East Wind"?

By Daniel Peterson

At least 20 references to a powerful and destructive “east wind” occur in the Old Testament (e.g., at Genesis 41:6, Exodus 10:13, Jeremiah 18:17 and Ezekiel 17:10, and Hosea 13:15). Such references reflect conditions in the Palestinian home of the biblical authors. Unlike the moisture-laden west wind from the Mediterranean Sea, the east wind, originating in the Arabian desert, is dry and desiccating.
