As the latter days grow later and later, opposition, complacency, and uncertainty can cloud our view and bog down our steps. Whether we are new converts or lifelong Church members, sincerely trying to follow Christ in today's fear-filled world can make us feel acutely aware of how far we have yet to go
.
How, then, do we stand steady in such a world while continuing to move with surety toward the better world the Lord promises his true followers (see Ether 12:4)?
In this candid book full of personal stories and rich doctrine, Elder Bruce C. Hafen helps us think and feel in fresh, deep ways about faith, reason, and other elements of a well-anchored testimony one that will stabilize, orient, and energize the disciple's quest for that better world while abounding in good works in this one. The book shows how developing such faith is a process, not an event a process that includes overcoming the snares and stagnations that punctuate our life s paths.
Elder Hafen here teaches us how we can again feel movement and find joy in the journey, with both anchor and sail so well set that "the furious wind" that blows "upon the face of the waters" actually hastens us "toward the promised land" (Ether 6:5)
