Garden of God’s Embrace: Introduction

There is a verse in the Book of Mormon that really stood out to me the last time that I read it.  The prophet Jacob has just been talking to his people about how the Jews will reject Jesus Christ, their only real hope and safe foundation.  He then asks a rhetorical question, not expecting […]

Raise and Relief

For our Relief Society lesson today we discussed Camille N.

Consider this example in the Book of Mormon: The people of Alma […]
