I read this one about 7 months ago. One of the better books out there about the temple and understanding it better, if not the best. It's just a short little book around 70 pages. I can guarantee that I will have each of my kids read this book as they prepare for the temple themselves. I wish I had this book as a resource as I was preparing myself. The metaphor story in Part 2 about the commoner and the king was so on point. I also liked the part where he connected ask, seek, knock to know, feel, do and how we can take that approach into the temple. Just lots of good stuff packed into this short little book. Highly recommend.
Quotes:
"You can't be a lazy learner with symbol, imagery, and ritual."
"Mystery is the revelatory vehicle to help transport your mind and heart to other realms - in this case, the realm of heaven. If at first you find yourself bewildered about some things, and that causes you to study, think, and pray, then the endowment ceremonies are effectively doing their job."
"You simply cannot be mentally passive in the temple and expect to learn the mysteries of God."
