Synopsis

The nature of time in God s sphere greatly differs from the nature of time we mortals experience here on earth. And the more we come to understand God s time, the more we come to understand God and our relationship to Him. As Elder Neal A. Maxwell perceptively observed, Time is clearly not our natural dimension. . . . Whereas the bird is at home in the air, we are clearly not at home in time because we belong to eternity. In this insightful book, you will explore the concept of time as it relates to the Creation, the Atonement, and the Resurrection. Using scripture, quotes from General Authorities and prophets, and powerful personal insights, author C. Robert Line helps clarify the concepts of time, clearly identifying what is speculation and what is doctrine.

This book examines three fascinating aspects of time: First, the concept of God s time and its impact on agency and other vital doctrines of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Second, the nature and importance of time as it relates to us in our temporal existence. And third, doctrines and principles that clearly demonstrate that God s course is truly one eternal round. Gaining insight about God s time in relation to ours allows us to better understand His omniscience and our agency and how they go hand in hand. Even a limited understanding of these principles gives us a greater appreciation for God and the vastness of His creations and leaves us in awe of His knowledge and power.
