Considered one of the all-time great classics of LDS literature, Jesus the Christ is a comprehensive look into the life and ministry of the Savior. Written at the request of the First Presidency by the Apostle James E. Talmage, and penned from an office inside the Salt Lake Temple, this volume is more than a simple outline of the Savior's life. It presents a far-reaching view of the Savior—including His life in the flesh, His antemortal existence, and His activities across time as the world's Redeemer.

On the last night of his life, Hyrum Smith folded down the corner of a page in the Book of Mormon and marked one verse: “I prayed unto the Lord that he would give unto the Gentiles grace, that they might have charity” (Ether 12:36). What does grace have to do with charity? How does receiving one lead to gaining the other? Scripture tells us that charity is a love that causes us to lay down our lives for someone. A greater love. A love that we must pray to be filled with. The pure love of Christ. What if charity is the outward expression of our inward understanding of grace?

"As surely as the sun will rise tomorrow," Elder Neil L. Andersen promises, "the Savior's divine gifts of repentance and of forgiveness, offered in the beauty of His encompassing love, are certain for those who come unto Him with full purpose of heart." In this book, Elder Andersen writes especially to those who are "awakening" unto God—those who are just beginning to discover or who seek the divine gifts and power of repentance and forgiveness in their lives.

Are you struggling to feel God’s love? Do you wonder if you truly belong? In You Are HIS Child, author Scott Hicks delivers a deeply personal and spiritually uplifting message—you are not forgotten, you are not unworthy, and you are never alone.

Latter-day Saints are great at getting things done. But sometimes an excessive focus on "doing more" can take us to a place where we're mostly going through the motions—and missing the deep, rich spiritual power that can come from being still. Using Latter-day Saint vernacular and examples, The Power of Stillness explores ways in which mindfulness can help deepen our conversion to the gospel.

"Marley was dead to begin with...." These chillingly familiar words begin the classic Christmas tale of remorse and redemption in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Now R. William Bennett rewinds the story and focuses the spotlight on Scrooge’s miserly business partner, Jacob T. Marley, who was allowed to return as a ghost to warn Scrooge away from his ill-fated path. Why was Marley allowed to return? And why hadn't he been given the same chance as Ebenezer Scrooge? Or had he?

Joseph Smith's observation that "by proving contraries, truth is made manifest" has become a beloved aphorism of Latter-day Saint thought. Both Things Are True is an experiment upon these words. Most aspects of a covenant life are lived in the tense space between contrary ideas that are equally valid but individually incomplete. When we learn to hold true things together in their natural tension, we find our hearts and souls stretched wide. The process can be challenging, even painful, but the spiritual rewards are great.

Did Joseph Smith really say that? Does the Church have that artifact? How accurate was that story told in Sunday School? Should I trust the information on this website? Can I draw closer to God by learning about history? Real vs. Rumor explores Church history myths, rumors, and false quotes to demonstrate how to think effectively about the information that swirls around us in our day. Each chapter brims with illuminating examples from scripture, history, and popular culture.

Jesus Christ is the Master Teacher, and we have been commanded to follow His example, acquiring not only His attributes but also His teaching skills. As we do so, we invite the Spirit into our lives in the fullest measure possible. In Teaching with Power, beloved author Tad R. Callister and his wife, Kathy, explain that the goal of every gospel teacher is much more than giving a masterful lesson or an entertaining, never-to-be-forgotten presentation; it is to make our students better―to inspire them to become more like Christ.

No one is more important to us than our Savior Jesus Christ. He is the only means of our salvation. He is our everlasting example. How can we follow Him and grow to become more like Him? It’s impossible to become like someone whom we don’t truly understand. As we think about our Savior, can we answer these vital questions.

Joseph Smith Jr. (1805–1844) was one of the most successful and controversial religious leaders of nineteenth-century America, publishing the Book of Mormon and starting what would become the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He built temples, founded a city-state in Illinois, ran for president, and married more than thirty women. This self-made prophet thrilled his followers with his grand vision of peace and unity, but his increasingly grandiose plans tested and sometimes shattered their faith.

Charlie Bird—the viral face of BYU during his years as Cosmo the Cougar—made waves across the nation in February when he came out and revealed to BYU fans that he is gay. Now, in Without the Mask, Bird reflects on how his identity has strengthened his testimony and how he views his sexual orientation in conjunction with his faith in Jesus Christ. Alternating between memoir and teaching chapters, Bird’s touching and authentic prose chronicles his decision to openly share that he is gay and to remain active in the faith.

“Women of faith, discussing complicated things.” That’s how authors Susan Hinckley and Cynthia Winward describe At Last She Said It, and they don’t expect the knots to untangle themselves. Even with two very different personalities and a decade or so between them, as their friendship developed they kept stumbling onto what felt like an uncanny amount of common ground in their church experiences. Often their conversations ended with, “Why isn’t anyone talking about this? Someone should do a podcast!” So they did.

Elder James E. Talmage’s teachings have influenced how members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints interpret scriptures for over 100 years. Members of the Church are familiar with his intellectual writing style and his reputation as a “stern and always serious-minded man.” For just as long, however, his personal side as a father and loving husband have been overlooked. These less-familiar aspects of his life provide perspective into how he endured the refining process that every disciple of Christ must undergo.

Orrin Porter Rockwell believed in his prophet, Joseph Smith. He spent most of a year chained in an Independence dungeon for his belief, then walked across Missouri to Nauvoo, stumbling into Joseph’s house on Christmas Day. Joseph said to him then, “Cut not thy hair and no bullet or blade can harm thee,” and the legend was born. But although he walked with presidents and generals, scholars and scoundrels, in a life lived at the center of many of the great events of the American frontier, he has remained an enigma, a source of continuing controversy.

Building Zion requires that we create and actively lead our communities and organizations to a higher and holier plane. Establishing Zion: Foundations for a Millenial Society identifies principles and provides guidance on their practical applications. It offers Latter-day Saints a richer, more constructive vision of Zion and what they can do to make it a reality.

The Incorporated Saint explores how members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can seamlessly integrate the teachings of God into their daily lives. This book provides practical guidance on maintaining spiritual discipline throughout the week, not just on Sundays.

The New and Everlasting Covenant is a great gift that God has given to His children. However, for many the term is not well understood, but modern revelation gives us hope. The Book of Mormon's title page declares its primary purpose is to help us "know the covenants of the Lord, that [we] are not cast off forever." Through latter-day prophets we know the breadth of the covenant, its associated promises, and the power which flows from it.

Over and over again, God’s people have invited foreign influences into their hearts and homes, embracing the “slow stain of the world.” From the Israelites at Sinai, to the early Christians in Rome, to the Saints in Missouri, the scriptural record is brimming with cautionary tales of covenant communities undone by worldly temptations. Yet we are not helpless spectators to these tragedies; we have the power to learn from their mistakes and guard ourselves against the subtle pull of false ideas and misguided practices.
