In the midst of deep affliction, the Prophet Joseph Smith was told, "All these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." The world at that moment was shown anew that God is aware of man's sufering, and that pain is not without purpose. Such concepts are not always easy to accept, but, as Elder Maxwell observes, "the hardness is usually not in their complexity, but in the deep demands these doctrines make on us." All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience focuses on some of the "hard doctrines" that members of the Church must grapple with in the latter days. This book will help the Saints prepare for the trials ahead, while assuring them that the power of God's love is constantly available to the faithful.

Elder Neal A. Maxwell, who previously served as executive vice president at the University of Utah and as Commissioner of Education for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was sustained as an Assistant to the Twelve in 1974 and called to the Quorum of the Twelve in 1981. A beloved speaker and author, he wrote more than twenty-five books, including The Enoch Letters; Moving in His Majesty and Power; The Promise of Discipleship; and Not My Will, but Thine. Elder Maxwell passed away in 2004. He and his wife, Colleen, have four children and twenty-four grandchildren.
