Deseret Book Company, 2004 - Religion - 284 pages

HOW DO YOU HELP a struggling teen, an overwhelmed mother, a teacher who feels inadequate, a divorced man struggling with feelings of self-worth? How can we find our way out of the darkness that so often engulfs us in mortality? The Lord has shown the way. The pattern he used to restore the gospel in a world filled with darkness provides a perfect model for our own spiritual and social development. The most vital questions of life--Who are we? What is our relationship with God and Christ? What would they have us do?--can be answered more clearly each day with this simple but profound program for internalizing the gospel. In his first book in more than twenty years written specifically to an LDS audience, Dr. Stephen R. Covey explores six transcendent events of the Restoration and demonstrates the significance of those events and their sequence in our lives today.
