About Product:
Of One Heart
Readers of the scriptures have long marveled at the account of the translation (or removal heaven-ward) of the city of Enoch. Why were the people of this city so blessed? What was their society like? What kind of man was Enoch himself?
Through imaginary communications from a man called Mahijah (Moses 6:40) to his imaginary friend Omner, Elder Neal A. Maxwell probes the reasons for the glory of the city of Enoch, whose inhabitants were called by the Lord Zion, "because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness." (Moses 7:18)
"Clearly, what made these people unique was their serious and steady application of the simple teachings of Jesus Christ," the author concludes.
In his recently published Look Back at Sodom, Elder Maxwell describes what might have happened to Sodom and her sister cities, which were destroyed because of their wickedness. Now, in Of One Heart, he describes the Christ-centered society of Enoch, providing a fascinating account of what might have happened in that ancient city and the lessons and applications we might make in our present-day world.
Look Back At Sodom
Four cities on the plains of Siddim – Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim – disappeared without a trace. The best-known of these sister cities was Sodom. We have some information in the scriptures about what happened, but even less information in secular records. Significantly, Jesus Christ confirmed both the existence and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah during his earthly ministry. Suppose a history of what was happening in these cities had been kept on scrolls. What might have been recorded?
In Look Back at Sodom, Elder Neal A. Maxwell takes the factual events of these cities and puts them in a fictional setting, drawing upon the scriptural accounts to pull everything together.
Many today are as indecisive about the evils emerging around us, reluctant to renounce fully a wrong way of life, as was Lot's wife. While it was tragic for Lot's wife to look back, for our generation a hard look back at Sodom could save us from impending tragedies. Christ himself said, "Remember Lot's wife." This book helps us ponder all that the Savior implied with those three powerful words.
