Faith Is Not Blind • Bruce Hafen & Marie Hafen<br />

The best kind of faith isn’t blind. It isn’t deaf—or dumb. It doesn’t completely ignore<br />

intellect or reason; it complements and works with it. Well-known for their clear teaching<br />

style, Elder and Sister Hafen share profound insights on three levels of faith: 1. An<br />

idealistic, optimistic, innocent faith, 2. A “realistic” faith filled with questions and<br />

complexity, and 3. An informed, mature faith that grows from reconciling our initial simple<br />

faith with the complexities that arise, resulting in a solid, abiding faith found in both the<br />

heart and the mind. As Oliver Wendell Holmes explained, “I would not give a fig for the<br />

simplicity [on] this side of complexity. But I would give my life for the simplicity on the<br />

other side of complexity.” This type of faith will see us through both the joys and<br />

challenges of life, will help us resolve questions that could otherwise derail us, and will be<br />

a solid foundation for a deep and abiding testimony.<br />

Out of The Best Books • S. Michael Wilcox<br />

ETERNAL TRUTHS FROM CLASSIC LITERATURE<br />

From Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables to Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, the<br />

characters of classic literature have stood the test of time. There are countless reasons<br />

to pick up a good book—but is it possible to find eternal truths in secular works? In Out<br />

of the Best Books, Latter-day Saint scholar S. Michael Wilcox demonstrates that when<br />

it comes to learning gospel principles, truth can shine forth in all good works—and<br />

literary classics are a prime example. With underlying lessons on life, faith, and eternal<br />

characteristics, secular works can inspire as surely as religious volumes. It is through<br />

the experiences of characters like Atticus Finch, Elinor Dashwood, and Ebenezer<br />

Scrooge that their authors’ inspired words have the power to create life-changing<br />

lessons for readers. Learn to find inspiration, wisdom, and spiritual knowledge in the<br />

age-old classics. God is in every good thing you just have to look.<br />

Blessed • Lloyd D. Newell & Mary Jane Woodger<br />

THE BEATITUDES AND THE CHRISTLIKE LIFE<br />

Jesus Christ prepared His faithful followers to teach the doctrine of the gospel, He<br />

presented perhaps His best-known discourse: the Sermon on the Mount. This<br />

profound address is directed to all those who seek to be His disciples, with powerful<br />

instruction as to the personal conduct necessary for living a Christ-centered life.<br />

And at the heart of this sermon are the Beatitudes, guidelines of the character traits<br />

and holy attributes that can serve as a guide for developing disciples. But how can<br />

these attributes be interpreted and attained in today's modern world? In Blessed:<br />

The Beatitudes and the Christlike Life, best-selling authors Lloyd D. newell and<br />

Mary Jane Woodger delve into each characteristic the Savior spoke of, providing<br />

powerful, real-life examples, scriptures, and prophetic insights detailing ways in<br />

which modern-day disciples of Christ can cultivate these eternal attributes. Those<br />

seeking the path of discipleship will find in this volume a thoughtful and inspiring<br />

guide to internalizing the timeless truths of the Beatitudes in our day.<br />
