"The great test of life is to see whether we will hearken to and obey God's commands in the midst of the storms of life. It is not to endure storms, but to choose the right while they rage." —Elder Henry B. Eyring
Come to tomorrow's devotional, the last one of the semester! We'll hear from Elder Gerrit W. Gong, an apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
You can attend live at 11:05 AM at the BYU Marriott Center, watch it at http://byutv.org, or tune in on Classical 89 FM.
Another optional experiential course we want to highlight is Field Studies in Nauvoo, Illinois! You will have the wonderful opportunity to build your testimony while visiting the same sights where revelations and doctrines were revealed and restored in our day.
To celebrate Holy Week, we're spotlighting Eric Huntsman and the book "Greater Love Hath No Man," by Eric D. Huntsman and Trevan G. Hatch!
Eric studied Greek and Latin at BYU and earned his PhD in ancient history from Penn. After teaching classics for nine years, he transferred to the Department of Ancient Scripture so he could study, teach, and write about the New Testament Gospels.
Providing Latter-day Saints the means to go on a scriptural journey with Jesus Christ through his last days is the most important thing this book does. Not everyone can come to Jerusalem, but this book includes the most important texts from the Gospels and their meaning, shares how each day has been observed by different Christian groups, and makes suggestions on what individuals and families can do in their own homes.
Eric hopes that each person and family can be inspired to come up with their own holiday traditions that will help them have a more reflective Holy Week, a solemn Good Friday, and a truly joyous Easter.
"God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, He will increase our capability." —Neal A. Maxwell
This course provides an experiential opportunity to learn where historical events occurred and where foundational doctrines were revealed! It's the perfect course if you're searching for an invaluable learning experience about the restoration of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on-site instead of in a classroom!
