The Holy Temple

REFRESHED EDITION

In President Packer’s characteristic wise and authoritative manner, he examines in appropriate detail the doctrines and practices surrounding the holy temples that dot the world. This timely and valuable book will help members at every stage of life as it focuses on a temple’s purpose, beauty, and the blessings it offers.

Part one offers the Lord’s invitation: “Come to the temple.” It sets forth the requirements for attendance—basically, preparation through worthiness—and the attitude and behavior appropriate for those attending that holy place on the first and all subsequent occasions. Part two deals in brief fashion with the ancient temples, then turns to the central human figure in the work of the temple—Elijah the Prophet, who anciently held the keys relative to the sealing power of the priesthood. Elijah’s return and all that it means for the happiness and salvation of man-kind are the themes of parts three and four. The spirit of Elijah is manifest both in and out of the Church as genealogical research and temple work blossom, temples multiply, and those beyond the veil assist those involved in the work here.

This new, fresh design of the beloved classic will bring President Packer’s teachings about the Lord’s holy temple to a new generation of readers.
