Description
Drawing upon scriptures and the insights of the Apostles, prophets, and General Officers of the Church regarding the Savior’s teachings, this inspiring volume offers valuable instruction on how to navigate an unsettled world using the lens of three well-known parables: the parable of the ten virgins, the parable of the talents, and the parable of the sheep and the goats. As you read and ponder the many examples that illustrate how to apply the principles taught in these parables, you can better learn to live with hope and peace—even in the face of adversity.
Craig James Ostler, professor of Church history and doctrine at BYU, addresses the answers to this and other questions in his treatment of one of the most profound and perplexing doctrines of the Church. In this insightful book, Dr. Ostler takes a straightforward approach in his examination of the great joy and anticipation — as well as the challenges — that accompany the last days and the Second Coming of Christ. Citing scripture and prophetic counsel, Refuge from the Storm explores the historical and modern fulfillment of prophecy and signs of the times and suggests ways to prepare and thrive spiritually in the midst of wickedness.
