About Product:
In the Book of Mormon, King Benjamin delivers a long discourse to his people, outlining what the Lord requires of them and the things they must know in order to have "everlasting salvation and eternal life." "I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom," he says, "that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." (Mosiah 5:15; 2:17.)
In The Challenge and the Harvest, Elder Franklin D. Richards, a member of the presidency of the First Quorum of the Seventy in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, out, lines challenges that face modern-day disciples of Christ, things they must know in order to reap the harvest, even salvation and eternal life.
Writing in a forthright manner, Elder Richards discusses such subjects as adversity, decision making, faith and works, honesty, justice and mercy, leadership, love, loyalty, missionary work, obedience, patience, prayer, reverence, sacrifice, the scriptures, testimony, and work. Major subjects have been arranged alphabetically for easy reference.
Our challenge, he claims, -is to make wise choices in everything we do, always within the context of the gospel and Christ's teachings. "When we sow without regard to the consequences, we reap sparingly," he declares. "On the other hand, when we carefully observe the laws of progress and happiness, we reap growth, development, and happiness."
The Challenge and the Harvest provides guidance to the reader in selecting wisely the seeds he will sow in life and in cultivating and nourishing those seeds so that he will reap the harvest. It’s a book that will help everyone, young and old, teacher and student, parent and child.
