Articles of Faith by James E. Talmage

8/10

I have already mentioned this book a few times in other Missionary Reference Library book posts. So it has been well documented that I like this book. I did in fact read it on the mission like a good little boy.

It's just more Talmage being Talmage. Meaning it's awesome. Not Jesus the Christ awesome, but very good nonetheless. It is just sweet getting his extremely intelligent viewpoints on the Articles of Faith which encompass the beliefs of the Church.

Quotes:

"God has never refused to accept an offering made by one who is authorized on behalf of those who are in any way incapable of doing the required service themselves."

"Faith is the secret of ambition, the soul of heroism, the motive power of effort."

"The spoken prayer is but empty sound if it be anything less than an index to the volume of the soul's righteous desire. Communications addressed to the Throne of Grace must bear the stamp of sincerity if they are to reach their high destination."
