Description
In When Thou Art Converted, Elder Ballard shows us that we manifest our belief in Christ and our acceptance of Him as our Savior by the way we live our lives. The most important way we 'stand as witnesses of God at all times, and in all things, and in all places' is in the daily choices we make.
This important volume, a follow-up to the author's well-loved work Our Search for Happiness, gives 11 valuable keys to help us stand as witnesses of God:
- Building and strengthening our testimony
- Recognizing our eternal identity as a child of God
- Cultivating balance
- Learning to recognize and respond to the Spirit
- Learning the lessons of the past
- Standing for truth and righteousness
- Serving others
- Honoring the priesthood
- Honoring womanhood
- Following the prophet
- Focusing on the family
These keys of discipleship will bless us and others in the search for happiness and peace--a search that becomes ever more rewarding and fulfilling as we endure to the end with those we love, serving the Savior, who loved us first.
