Days Of The Living Christ Volume 1 By W. Cleon Skousen

Days Of The Living Christ Volume 1 By W. Cleon Skousen 470 pages
 Many wonderful and inspirational surprises lie within the covers of this book and its companion, Volume 2.
 Twenty-five years ago, Dr. Skousen had concluded that just about everything connected with the life and mission of Jesus Christ had been written. Then he began to find some scriptural treasures that had been missed. Before long he was deep into a comprehensive study of the life and mission of the Savior that finally culminated in these two volumes.
 Dr. Skousen has always tried to write his books so that the scriptures come alive for the modern reader. He has followed the same pattern in these two books, and for many New Testament students it is believed these two volumes will provide a new, dynamic, three-dimensional appreciation of the Savior and those who labored with Him.
 At the same time the reader will grasp a new conception of the love Jesus had for the Jewish people. Because of their loyalty during the war in heaven and their valiant performance during the pre-existence, He chose them to help Him through His ordeal in order to provide a redemptive sacrifice for all mankind. After Peter told the Jews that Jesus was not an imposter, but that they had assented to His death in ignorance, he invited them to repent and enter the waters of baptism. Once the Jews understood that they had played a necessary part in a divine plan—and could be forgiven for their mistake—they became Christians by the thousands.
 The reader will also discover a whole new scriptural basis for Peter’s denial of the Christ.
 These are just samples of the treasures that lie within the scriptures and which come to light as one reads The Days of the Living Christ.

A Witness And A Warning By Ezra Taft Benson

A Witness And A Warning By Ezra Taft Benson 86 pages
 “The Book of Mormon is the greatest book in the world.”
 Thus speaks Ezra Taft Benson, the thirteenth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
 Across the world and throughout the Church is an increasing number of both boys and girls, men and women, who are not only coming to Christ but growing in Christ through this key to conversion—the Book of Mormon.
 It was the Prophet Joseph Smith who said “that the Book of Mormon was the most correct book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than any other book.” (History of the Church, 4:462.)
 Today’s prophet of God affirms Joseph’s testimony and adds his own that the Book of Mormon was meant for us, here and now, and that we should daily sup from its pages and make the study of it a lifetime pursuit.
 “The Book of Mormon has not been nor is it yet, the center of our personal study, family teaching, preaching, and missionary work. Of this we must repent,” President Benson declares.
 Because the whole Church, even all the Children of Zion, are under condemnation as a result of treating the Book of Mormon lightly (D$C 84:54-58), the Lord has inspired His servant President Benson to move this book today in a marvelous manner.
 This volume, A Witness and  a Warning, opens with President Benson’s powerful and profound message, “The Book of Mormon Is the Word of God.” Other landmark messages include “Born of God,” “The Keystone and the Capstone,” “Worthy Fathers, Worthy Sons,” and “Cleansing the Inner Vessel.”
 In A Witness and a Warning, President Ezra Taft Benson testifies of the Book of Mormon’s witness and declares its voice of warning.
