About Product:
The gift of the Holy Ghost, bestowed at confirmation, is the right to the guidance of the Holy Ghost when one is Worthy to receive that guidance. For the Latter-day Saint, nothing is more important than living constantly under this influence -living by the Spirit.
Achieving this state takes, first, under-standing, and second, effort. This book assists substantially in both respects. Here are the words of prophets of this dispensation covering virtually every facet of this crucial topic, at once bringing enlightenment and motivation to the reader. The counsel is specially selected from the famous Journal of Discourses, which covers some thirty-five years of rich doctrinal commentary by Church leaders in early Utah days. The expressions come to us from such great names as Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Lorenzo Snow, Joseph F. Smith, Heber C. Kimball, Orson Pratt, Orson Hyde, and George Q. Cannon -apostles who had borne the brunt of the battle and knew from experience the power of the Spirit.
The detailed contents page reflects the wide range of the ideas discussed and their careful categorization for ease of reading and reference. The nature of and the need for the Holy Ghost, how to live for it and by it, what it will do for us, how to retain this influence -these are only a few of the soul-saving concepts inspiringly presented. "Except a man be born . . . of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God," the Savior said. From the lips of his apostles, here is inspired direction in that vital quest.
