Come Unto the Father in the Name of Jesus

7/10

So this is some way old Priesthood manual from like the early 90's. I acquired it on the mish and read it at that point in time. It is your basic, run of the mill priesthood manual a la Gospel Principles, etc. I don't really remember it, but looking through it for some quotage, it appears to be pretty chock full of good quotes and such. So, to the quotes:

From David O. McKay: "The poorest shack in which love prevails over a united family is of greater value to God and future humanity than any other riches. In such a home God can work miracles and will work miracles."

From Neal A. Maxwell: "Young Joseph was told that his name would be both 'good and evil spoken of' throughout the world. Except from a divine source, how audacious a statement! Yet his contemporary religious leaders, then much better known than Joseph, have faded into the footnotes of history, while the work of Joseph Smith grows constantly and globally."

From Gene R. Cook: "My challenge is to learn how to bring about a home here on earth similar to the celestial one I left."

From Orson F. Whitney: "The time will come when no man nor woman will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within himself. If you do not have it, how can you stand?"

From Harold B. Lee: "Thank God for one more day! For what? For the opportunity to take care of some unfinished business. To repent; to right some wrongs; to influence for good some wayward child; to reach out to someone who cries for help - in short, to thank God for one more day to prepare to meet God."

From Marion G. Romney: "If the members of the Church would double their fast-offering contributions, the spirituality in the Church would double."

From Joseph Fielding Smith: "No member of this Church can stand approved in the presence of God who has not seriously and carefully read the Book of Mormon."
