A powerful book about the power of prayer, ways to strengthen a marriage, and how to better appreciate the atonement, the sabbath day, and the blessings of the temple. This book is so beautifully written that it can be read over and over again. It is truly a masterpiece.

This is a compilation of talks by Truman Madsen. Some were just okay, but most were amazing. I especially enjoyed the chapters on "the intimate touch of prayer" and " the awesome power of married love".

I really like Madsen's literary voice. It feels like he's sitting down with you and having a conversation about religious insights and deeper meanings of the gospel. It was uplifting and thought provoking without out being dry and boring.

Some of the chapters were just good. Other chapters were earth moving for me. They helped me to really understand about forgiveness, the importance of family history work, and the importance of the temple. I learned a lot.

I thought this book was one of the best I have about LDS thought and theology. I recommend it to anyone.
