Lord, Increase Our Faith

For those who seek salvation, said Brigham Young, merely looking to the Savior is not enough. They must have faith in His name, character and atonement . . . faith in His Father and in the plan of salvation. That statement keynotes this book's powerful message on the first principle of the gospel. In his creative, invigorating style, Elder Neal A. Maxwell here brings to our attention many crucial applications of this fundamental doctrine. He points to the believer's joy in the sheer reality of Jesus Christ, the divine Savior; the intense suffering involved in His amazing atonement; and the consequent uniqueness and power embodied in His holy name- the only name whereby salvation can be obtained. Faith in His impeccable character is similarly urged as we note in detail the celestial attributes we seek to emulate as well as his being tempted as we are, yet without sin - truly the Great Exemplar. This outstanding, stimulating book brings fresh and intriguing insights to the important subjects it discusses. A mine of inspired, practical counsel and encouragement, it will enlighten and help uplift every earnest reader.
