Publisher's Synopsis
This book is an exercise in learning by study and faith. In our increasingly secular age, we should seek personal revelation and learn to live by the Spirit of God in order to grow our faith. This does not mean we should avoid studying, pondering, or asking questions. Examining questions with patience and study, and allowing the Holy Ghost to guide us in our efforts, renews our faith and testimony. This collection of essays explores questions such as: - What do Latter-day Saints believe about the atonement and grace? - How does a Latter-day Saint reconcile faith with science and evolution? - Why does God describe himself as a Jealous God? - Why is there a devil? - How can one put so much faith in a modern prophet? - Why does the church spend so much money building temples? I hope it will be interesting and helpful to anyone seeking to gain, or renew, faith in Christ and his church.
