As a much younger man, I accepted the scripturally underscored importance of enduring to the end. But that stern requirement was only superficially appreciated back then. Life has since underscored, again and again, what a high test enduring well is for us mortals. Moreover, it isn't just for old people, nor is it just something one does near the very end of the pathway of discipleship. It is, instead, an ongoing thing which varies from season to season and from experience to experience.

The conditions were perfect for inducing deep, dark despair; four-plus months of incarceration; scant and poor food; primitive and dirty accommodation; virtually unrelieved gloom. Yet from Liberty Jail, the "prison-temple," there emanated revelations so sublime as to constitute a towering witness to Joseph Smith's prophetic calling and powers. The thick prison walls confined only the Prophet's body, Elder Maxwell observes, while his mind and spirit soared to commune with heaven. Betrayed a...

Nearly two thousand years ago Jesus gave the startling commandment, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Then, after the triumph of the atonement and resurrection, when he had become fully perfected, Jesus Christ amended that proclamation to include himself: "What manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am." In a perceptive and moving exploration of the Savior's personality, Elder Neal A. Maxwell of the Council of the Twelve A...

This book is an intense treatment of a vital subject. Unlike portions of the author's previous books that focused on various dimensions of the gospel with discussions of the many insights it provides to us that are essential for coping with reality, this book attempts to probe reality itself-the very center of the gospel plan-the things that matter most, on which everything else hangs, and around which everything else must assemble.

As the prophet Nephi concluded his writings and history of his people, he stated that he was not "mighty in writing," but that "I, Nephi, have written what I have written, and I esteem it as of great worth, and especially unto my people." Then he concluded, "Ye shall know that I have been commanded of Christ to write these things, notwithstanding my weakness." (2 Nephi 33.) Feelings of weakness and inadequacy are common to almost all mortals, as they strive for eventual perfection. In Notw...

Readers of the scriptures have long marveled at the account of the translation (or removal heaven-ward) of the city of Enoch. Why were the people of this city so blessed? What was their society like? What kind of man was Enoch himself? Through imaginary communications from a man called Mahijah (Moses 6:40) to his imaginary friend Omner, Elder Neal A. Maxwell probes the reasons for the glory of the city of Enoch, whose inhabitants were called by the Lord Zion, "because they were of one hear...
