“He ‘Has Sealed His Mission and His Works with His Own Blood’”

Dr. Lori Wilkinson
“The Vision of the Redemption of the Dead”
PART 1
What if our departed loved ones are more involved–and closer than we think? Dr. Lori Motzkus Wilkinson explores D&C 137-138 as a “salve for broken hearts,” revealing how these revelations restored a lively hope in God’s mercy, the desires of the heart, and the nearness of those who have passed on.
PART 2
Dr. Lori Motzkus Wilkinson unites the grief-born power of Doctrine and Covenants 138 with the forgotten writings of early Relief Society voices, showing how Joseph F. Smith’s vision overturned the “curse of Eve,” affirms women as among the “great and noble ones,” and issues a hope-filled call to temple and family history work.

Finding Jesus Christ in the New Testament and Finding Jesus Christ in the Old Testament are collections of short yet insightful quotes that are gathered from various acclaimed Bible scholars originally shared on the Follow Him podcast. The books chronologically journey through the Bible with each scholar highlighting a set of chapters and stories. The scholars repeatedly illuminate the hopeful and omniscient character of Jesus Christ amidst this record of human trial and tribulation. As we strive to see more of Him in their lives, it will help us see more of Him in our lives. Each time you read a quote from these books, you will leave with a new perspective of God, yourself, or the world.
