Learnaing for the Eternities

Learnaing for the Eternities by Marion G. Romney. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780877476764.

"We live in a society in which every righteous principle is being challenged, if not recklessly abandoned, and in which every degrading, immoral, and soul-destroying impulse is being wantonly gratified. Unless we can be persuaded to learn about and for the eternities, we shall not only be unprepared for eternity, but we shall also bring destruction upon ourselves here and now." This statement provides the theme for this inspirational book by President Marion G. Romney, second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. With great wisdom and insight into eternal truths, he outlines the basic principles every Latter-day Saint needs to learn to gain the highest exaltation in the eternities. Learning for the Eternities has five parts. The first, "The Character of Deity," deals with the nature of the Godhead, man as a child of God, the purpose of the Atonement, and how men are saved. Part 2, "Learning for the Eternities," focuses on learning gospel principles through study, faith, and example. Part 3, "Seek to Know the Fathers Will and Obey Him," tells how to apply gospel principles in ones life. Part 4, "The Way to Peace," outlines how one can find inner strength and security, while Part 5 is on "Strength of Character." Learning for the Eternities provides a way of life based on the teachings of the prophets through the ages, the scriptures, and the commandments of God, as interpreted by a modern-day prophet and spiritual leader.
