Understanding Your Endowment

Understanding Your Endowment

Most books on the LDS temple are either too general to be very helpful or too scholarly and esoteric to appeal to most Church members. This volume is different. Based primarily upon the scriptures, Understanding Your Endowment explores the meaning of the temple endowment in our daily lives. Coming to understand our own endowment is a personal, sacred journey--one largely between us individually and the Lord. No one, other than the Lord, is really qualified to unfold everything. Part of the beauty of the temple's ordinances and teachings lies in the fact that the Lord can personalize them to whatever stage we are at in our individual growth. The path to understanding requires time, effort and experience. Sometimes it may seem a bit overwhelming. We may need some help, or at least a foundation from which to begin.   The intent of this book is to help lay that foundation and enrich your temple experience. It is written for believing Latter-day Saints who would like to better understand their own endowment.
