"We challenge the powers of darkness," says James E. Faust, second counselor in the First Presidency of the Church, "when we speak of the perfect life of the Savior and of his sublime work for all mankind through the Atonement. This supernal gift permits us, through repentance, to break away from Satan's grasping tentacles."
Filled with timely counsel, this collection of President Faust's insightful addresses teaches us how to challenge the world's darkness by radiating the light of the gospel. In the first five chapters, President Faust offers his testimony-building witness of Jesus Christ, the Light of the world. Five more chapters teach the illuminating power of example. And in six final chapters, President Faust urges families to seek the light of the gospel and "make our homes stronger so that they will stand as sanctuaries against the unwholesome, pervasive moral dry rot around us." In this book, President Faust, known for his wise, practical counsel, addresses these topics and more: healing a broken heart overcoming sin and weakness finding meaning in tragedy"tuning in" to the still, small voice bringing up children in light and truth cultivating an attitude of gratitude
President Faust's optimistic, faith-filled messages inspire and motivate us. He pleads, "In our constantly changing world, may we continually cling to those things that do not change: to prayer, to faith, to saving covenants, to love of families, and to brotherhood." And to members of the Church who are doing their best to follow the voice of the Spirit, President Faust offers comfort: "I believe that unseen spiritual hosts tend you as you seek to do the will of the Lord. Remember the words of Elisha: 'They that be with us are more than they that be with them' (2 Kings 6:16)."
