From the youngster singing "I Am a Child of God" in Primary to the adult singing "O My Father" in sacrament meeting, the Latter-day Saints' conviction is that all of us are literally sons and daughters of God. Throughout history, however, periods of apostasy have left people ignorant of their divine heritage. This book takes a close look at how this crucial doctrine was lost, how it came to be restored in this dispensation, and why an understanding of our identity as spirit children of God is so vital.
Because knowing who we are is tied directly to knowing who God and Jesus Christ are, the book explores what has been set forth historically concerning the nature of the Father and the Son. What emerges is a fascinating case study in the apostasy-traditional ideas and concepts that have had more to do with man-made philosophy than with heaven-sent truth. As the author makes clear, one of the tragic results of these apostate notions (such as the idea that God is without body, parts, and passions) has been a gradual distancing of God's children from their Father. The historical details presented in the book show, then, that it was only through the divinely directed Restoration, which included personal appearances by Deity, that the true knowledge concerning God's fatherhood, Jesus' divine sonship, and our heritage as sons and daughters of God could be brought to light once more.
Well researched, highly informative, and sprinkled throughout with interesting personal experiences, Sons and Daughters of God has been written, in the author's words, "in the hope that those who read these pages will be inspired to lay claim to the divine inheritance ' that is rightfully theirs," thus coming to the realization that "every doctrine and principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ is but the application of the eternal verity that God is our Father."
