I loved reading about the symbolism behind the temple endowment. The author, shared an analogy, of pieces to a puzzle, as a step by step process, as you put the pieces together, to complete the puzzle. The author uses scriptures and quotes, in such a way to help to understand the temple endowment. This revised edition also includes, part of the authors book titled: Your Covenant, which explains the Abrahamic covenant.

I learned a lot from this book. It drew a lot from the Old Testament and explained some of the temple symbolism. It didn’t sink in as much as I would have liked (I think I’ve forgotten a lot already), but that’s probably on me. I wondered if this would be a good read for my temple bound almost young adults, but I think it may be too detailed, simpler would be better for beginners.

Great information and insights, the writing just seemed a bit clunky at times. But definitely well worth the read!

I love learning more about the endowment and the why of things. I found a lot of interesting points that I was able to think about and understand more and appreciate the love the Savior has for us.

Didn’t make it all the way through this book before I cancelled Kindle Unlimited, but what I read was really enjoyable.
