Best religious Books

This is a compilation of some of our favorite religious writings, be it poem, children’s books, or novels- and a
little bit about why we love it so much!

the work and the glory series

Picture
This is my favourite series of all time! It is a piece of historical fiction
looking at the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
It follows a fictional family through their belief and unbelief in Joseph Smith
and restoration of Jesus Christ’s church. You journey with the Steed family
through heartache, trials and miracles as it chronicles actual events (with a
fictional twist) from New York State to Salt Lake. You come to love this family
and early church leaders as you laugh and cry along with them. Definitely
recommend it to anyone who loves historical fiction or wants to learn some
Church History in a fun way!

Preach my gospel

Picture
His Thoughts: Can’t say enough about this book- it really changed my life. So many misunderstood perceptions of what really is “Missionary Work”are all cleared up perfectly in this book. The three fold mission of the church is to 1. Proclaim the gospel, 2. Redeem the dead, and 3. Perfect the saints. With that in mind the term “Missionary Work” will sometimes be used to clump together ALL THREE of those into one. This however does not change the fact that “After all that has been said, the greatest and most important duty is to [proclaim] the gospel.”-Joseph Smith Jr. … So when they are saying “missionary work” is the most important duty of every member of the church; that would be correct only if they are indeed referring to “proclaiming the gospel”. This is important! Why? Is genealogy work important? Of course it is… Is it “missionary work”? Sure, if you clump it all together! Is it “proclaim the gospel”? No, it would be “redeem the dead”.  So when they say “missionary work” is the most important duty of every member of the church they are NOT referring to genealogy (redeem the dead), or about feeding themissionaries (perfect the saints) or about “setting an example” (perfect the saints), etc; they are talking about one thing and one thing alone; Preach My Gospel! Another quote: “we will attain our exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom only on the condition that we share with our Father’s
other children the blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”- George Albert Smith… Can sharing with others our deep and intimate experiences be scary? Of course it can! Everyone can and will be afraid that others might trample on what they hold to be dear; this should not however keep you from trying. This book (Preach My Gospel) is a tool that if used properly can and will help you step by step on how to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ while doing so politely and accurately with your friends. If the doctrine is not in PMG (like caffeine and rated “R” movies) than it is not doctrine of the church and should not be taught when teaching “the law of chastity” or “the word of wisdom”; this read is a must. This book is what enabled me to be the man, husband, and teacher that I am today.
