Among the forty-two soul-searching questions the prophet Alma posed to the people of Zarahemla, he asked, "If ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?" That question of introspection is as important for Latter-day Saints today as it was for the people in the Book of Mormon times. "A review or the teachings og the Book of Mormon prophets shows clearly that the song of redeeming love is intended not only to be their song bu also our song," writes Elder Spencer J. Condie in The Song Of Redeeming Love. Using vignettes "from the lives of individuals like you and me and like Alma and his wayward associates who learned to sing the song of redeeming love," Elder Condie illustrates that we must come to God empty to receive of His fulness and that we must hollow our lives before He can hallow them.
