Description
Sister Julie B. Beck, former Relief Society General President, offers answers to these questions in Joy in the Covenant. She writes: "The reflections in this book are personal expressions of deep-seated feelings and beliefs. . . . In these reflections, I draw heavily on the lives of my parents and the lessons I have learned from them. They were my first earthly teachers, and their examples formed the foundation for my faith".
Sister Beck prompts us to reflect on our identity and purpose, both as members of earthly families and the house of Israel. Her insights are simultaneously challenging and encouraging, profound and practical, authoritative and friendly. The messages found in Joy in the Covenant speak to all of the joy that can be found in living the gospel of Jesus Christ and in being part of God's covenant family.
