About Product:

Elder Neal A. Maxwell eloquently shares with readers his own thoughts on suffering, mercy, justice, gratitude and the gospel in One More Strain of Praise, a book that shares both the personal and doctrinal knowledge of this beloved Apostle. With empathy and humility for all those who suffer, Elder Maxwell writes of his own battle with cancer and the role of irony in life. He expresses gratitude for his 'delay en route' and the opportunity it has given him to 'praise God' and keep 'reasonably busy trying to use the allotted mortal time for the purposes of eternity!'

The 'purposes of eternity,' then, become the primary focus of Elder Maxwell's writings as he devotes his attention to gospel principles in seven thoughtful and enlightening chapters. 'So many doctrines could have been selected and illustrated,' in this work, Elder Maxwell writes. 'Being of good cheer, Jesus' redemptive role as our advocate, God's mercy, the need for personal purification, the blessings and challenges of moral agency, and the counting of my blessings--all have a poignancy and relevancy for this sunset period of my discipleship.' It is these topics that define for the reader that 'having ultimate gospel 'gladness' ... is not only possible, but can finally, if not constantly, swallow up any proximate sadness.'
