True to the Faith

8/10

I read this 9 or 10 years ago but kind of forgot how good it is until looking through it again for this post. It's not so much a book as it is an A-Z reference resource for gospel topics. It's pretty solid and can be used easily for church lesson prep and the like. Each term discussed has a number of additional scripture references for further study. It is always a little strange reading straight through a dictionary-styled book though. Not much else to expound upon, so to a couple quotes:

In the "Humility" topic: "To be  humble is to recognize gratefully your dependence on the Lord - to understand that you have constant need for His support.... It is not a sign of weakness, timidity, or fear; it is an indication that you know where your true strength lies."

In the "Prayer" topic: "When you make a request through prayer, do all you can to assist in its being granted."
