Many suppose agency to be the God-given right to choose between good or evil. Were this the case, it could be argued that God gave us the right to do evil. This simply is not so. By way of analogy, our nation was formed to insure to its citizens the freedom of choice, but no one supposed that this granted anyone the right to disobey its laws. Similarly, agency does not grant us the right to disobey the laws of God. What it gives us is power to change the world for good. This insightful book helps us understand the principle of agency and its implications for our lives here and in eternity.

From the Inside Flap:

"Without agency, no author part of the gospel can exist. As a gift of God it ranks with life itself, for without it, life has no meaning."

So writes author Joseph Fielding McConkie in this thought-provoking volume that gives us fresh insight into why the Lord has blessed us with the precious gift of agency and what he expects us to do with it.

In laying the foundation for discussing this vital doctrine, the author presents new perspectives on the essential role America’s Founding Father played in establishing a nation where the gospel of Jesus Christ could be restored in its fullness.

From the eternal nature of agency through our premortal choices to our decisions in mortality, Brother McConkie shows how our use of agency – our right to choose right – will affect us for eternity.

Understanding the Power God Gives Us helps us comprehend the true power of agency and provides faith-building answers to such questions as-

� What is the real nature of agency?
� Why did we fight a war in heaven over agency?
� How does understanding agency aid us in responsible parenting?
� How does knowing agency is a gift from God change our perspective on mortality?
� How can we be both an agent and an instrument in the hands of the Lord?

"Agency is given to us that we might enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," Brother McConkie writes. "Properly used, agency will exalt us; improperly used, it will damn us."

This insightful volume helps us learn what agency really means, why we have it, and how we can use it in the way God intends.
