Review, Reflect, and Return: Gospel Doctrine lessons on personal revelation

Since lessons five and six of this year’s Sunday School curriculum are on essentially the same topic (personal revelation), we thought we’d link to them. It’s clearly a topic that deserves a lot of attention. To understand Mormonism, it’s essential to understand the role of personal revelation.

Review, Reflect, and Return: “Faith, Hope, and You” by Richard C. Edgley

At the beginning of a new year, and as we face difficult times with economic and other struggles, a message about hope seemed appropriate. This was given to students at a Brigham Young University devotional in Provo, Utah in November 2008. (Find more devotional talks here.)

Portraits of Mormon Women: knitting up hope

Today we introduce Portraits of Mormon Women– a weekly post celebrating the ordinary and extraordinary in every life. This post was originally published at scenesfromthewild.blogspot.com.
