Highlight: One Faithful LDS Family in Sweden

Håkan Palm feels blessed to live a mere four miles from the first temple in Scandinavia and the only temple in Sweden. He served on the committee to find the wooded site about 15 miles south of Stockholm in 1981, was there for the groundbreaking and, as LDS public affairs director for the country and a member of the temple committee, organized the open house where an expected 2,000 visitors turned into nearly 50,000 before the Stockholm Sweden Temple was dedicated in 1985. Ten years later, he arranged for Sweden’s king and queen to visit the temple grounds and meet President Thomas S. Monson.

Wall Street Journal: Religious Dorms Sprouting Up at Public Universities

Justice Gray, an incoming college freshman who attends church regularly and abstains from alcohol, wasn't keen on living in a dorm full of partyers. So she opted for a new housing option that just made its debut at Troy University, a public college here: a faith-based residence hall. Featuring a small chapel and a communal area for Bible studies and other activities, the 376-bed Newman Center caters to students looking to nourish their spiritual side. It is open to people of all faiths, though the ministry space is leased by the Catholic Archdiocese of Mobile. Alcohol is forbidden, even for those of drinking age.

Defending the Faith: Sometimes, God does intervene

A long time ago in a far away galaxy, when I was just past the midpoint of my German-speaking Swiss mission, a professor who had been an influential mentor of mine wrote to say that he was coming to Switzerland for research. Would my companion and I like to do dinner with him? My companion, it so happened, had also enjoyed a class from this charismatic professor, so we replied that we would love to meet him for dinner. But unfortunately, although he'd indicated the date of his arrival and promised to send his flight time and number, his second letter never arrived. So we had no idea where he was coming from, what airline he was coming on, nor what time — morning, noon or night — he would be arriving.

What's the Most Important Lesson to Learn as a Missionary

Of course, it’s hard to nail down something as “the most valuable” lesson learned on my mission when I learned so much. As I think back on what I’ve learned over the past two years, many things come to mind. First is scriptural knowledge that comes from reading, studying, and pondering. Then there comes learning by faith, which Elder David A. Bednar speaks of often.

Interview with bestselling author Richard Paul Evans: Still fueled by faith 20 years after ‘The Christmas Box’

In 1993 Richard Paul Evans published "The Christmas Box," an 87-page paperback he originally wrote as a gift for his family that would eventually yield a $4.2 million advance from Simon & Schuster. Twenty years removed from his very sudden success with “The Christmas Box,” Evans is still selling beaucoup books — except that now he’s concurrently producing best-selling titles in very distinct genres via his The Walk and Michael Vey series. The Walk is inspirational fiction, a five-part series about a man who walks from Seattle to Florida after losing everything important in his life.
