Synopsis

What is the PERSONAL SIGNIFICANCE of the six transcendent events of the Restoration? What power do they have to change individual attitudes and behavior? In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Stephen R. Covey teaches that these events answer seven foundational questions, each of which affects our capacity to fulfill our divine potential.

· WHO? Who is God? Who is Christ? Who am I? Who are you?

· WHOSE? Whose are we? To whom do we belong? Who paid the price? Who is the source of our salvation?

· HOW? How do I get back to my God, my Father, my Creator? How can I become a partaker of the divine nature?

· WHERE? Where do I go? Where can I find support, opportunity to serve, and direction for my life?

· WHAT? What do I do? What is my work in mortality?

· WHY? What’s it all about? Why am I on earth? Why do I need to be married for time and eternity?

· WHEN? The seventh question is answered in the sequence of the six events.

About this title

From the Publisher

How do you help a struggling teen, an overwhelmed mother, a teacher who feels inadequate, a divorced man struggling with feelings of self-worth? How can we find our way out of the darkness that so often engulfs us in mortality? The Lord has shown the way. The pattern he used to restore the gospel in a world filled with darkness provides a perfect model for our own spiritual and social development and for dealing with our most difficult and perplexing challenges. In his first book in more than twenty years written specifically for Latter-day Saints, Dr. Stephen R. Covey explores the six transcendent events of the Restoration and recommends strategies for internalizing each one of them.

· The First Vision
· The restoration of the gospel in the form of the Book of Mormon
· The restoration of the priesthood
· The restoration of the Church
· The restoration of the keys to save the living and the dead
· The restoration of the temple ordinances

But Dr. Covey goes far beyond a historical and doctrinal perspective, demonstrating the personal significance of those events and their sequence in our lives today. If, in solving your problems, you’re interested in better understanding the pattern of the Lord’s solution to the world’s ills, you’ll appreciate the inspiring insights in this masterwork for Latter-day Saints.
