The Apostle Paul foretold that we in the latter days would live in “perilous times” (2 Timothy 3:1). Yet the Savior instructed His followers in this dispensation to “doubt not, feat not” (D&C 6:36). How do we move forward in faith and focus on the good when rage, calamity, and commotion swirl around us?
We know from scripture and the words of modern-day prophets that these latter days are a time of great turmoil—but also a time of great miracles. In this timely book, Elder Ronald A. Rasband shares a beautiful message of hope and light, reminding us what we can do to fortify ourselves and receive heavenly guidance. As Elder Rasband teaches, “By divine design, we have been called to the Lord’s service leading up to His Second Coming.” His apostolic counsel helps us recognize the ways the Lord guides us through the troubled times in our lives to build a greater sense of hope and peace with our foundation fixed on Christ, that ultimately we might accept the Savior’s “Be not troubled” (D&C 45:35).
Elder Rasband has such a special place in my heart as he reminds me of my dad. This book in particular contains so many words of love and encouragement in building your testimony and staying firm when things get hard. I just feel so warm and fuzzy reading it. 10/10 would read again.
“With the Atonement of Jesus Christ, His Church, His gospel, and our connection to Him in the heavens, we may always have hope for better days.”
“Remind yourself when things are hard, “these are my days,” and make the most of them in helping prepare for the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
This timely book encourages us, as the apostle Paul said, “we live in perilous times” Elder Rasband talks about ways to find the peace the savior, Jesus Christ can give is as we strive do follow his commandments and trust in him. Be still and know that I am god, God is in charge and when we learn to trust him, we can find peace in a troubled world.
This book will not stop your trouble or pain. It will give you pause to ask questions and to remind you that we are not alone; we are equal to every challenge presented to us; and no matter the pain, sorrow, or fears we face; we are loved unconditionally by our Heavenly Father. Carry on, little flock.🤗
What a refreshing experience! Elder Rasband gives us a glimpse of eternity while walking in mortality. An inspiring and comforting message of peace and hope Most important, a powerful witness of our Savior Jesus Christ!
This was an expansion of his talk about whether his children should have children. I really loved the reminders and new insight into be not troubled and how much longer the Lord is with us even through the hard times.
In these turbulent times times Ronald A Rasband gives comfort and advice to keep us from becoming discouraged and also to stay a steady course of life.
Both inspiring and soothing, Elder Rasband's book is a pleasant read. The chapters read a little more like disconnected talks than I was hoping they would, but it's certainly worth reading.
