This book, one of the doctrinal classics by Elder James A. Talmage, contains 104 essays by Elder Talmage on various gospel topics that are unique to Mormonism. Topics include the Articles of Faith, the Book of Mormon and the Bible, prophets, apostles, modern revelation, laws and the constitution, democracy, and the nature of God. Elder Talmage is widely recognized as a premier LDS scholar. His seminal work, Jesus the Christ, has been read by generations of missionaries and others seeking to learn more about the life of Christ and become His disciples. Jesus the Christ was first published in 1915, four years before this book. In addition to Jesus the Christ, Talmage is also the author of Articles of Faith, Articles of Faith, Great Apostasy, House of the Lord, Story and Philosophy of "Mormonism," as well as hundreds of General Conference talks and articles for LDS Church publications. The writings of Elder Talmage are filled with faith and have the power to bring those who seek diligently closer to Jesus Christ. I hope that they will strengthen your faith as they have mine.
