The Holy Sealing by Anthony and Cindy Sweat
<p>For Latter-day Saints, few promises run deeper than the hope of being sealed to those we love. It's a covenant that stretches beyond the grave, carrying the assurance that families can be bound together forever. And yet, Anthony and Cindy Sweat write that the temple sealing is also one of the most daunting, mysterious, and misunderstood ordinances of the Church. So what makes a temple sealing different from a worldly wedding? Beyond clothing or ceremony, it's a covenant designed for eternity. While modern marriage often centers on romantic love, eternal marriage is anchored in the charity of Christ — a love that endures forever.</p> <p>Today's words come from Anthony and Cindy Sweat's newest book, The Holy Sealing. The third volume in a best-selling series, it explains what sealing accomplishes, why it matters, and the blessings it brings. Whatever your circumstances, it offers clarity, comfort, and confidence in the Lord's plan to unite His eternal family.</p> <p>Find <a href= "https://www.deseretbook.com/product/6087139.html?utm_source=ldsliving&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=OBB-S2E4-6087139&utm_id=OBB-S2E4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Holy Sealing: Uniting the Eternal Family of God</a> on Deseret Bookshelf + or at any Deseret Book store.</p>

Doing Small Things With Great Love by Sharon Eubank
<p>The world's suffering can feel overwhelming: wars, natural disasters, and cities stricken with poverty. And in the face of it all, it's easy to wonder how we can possibly chip away at such enormous problems.</p> <p>That's the question Sharon Eubank takes on in her book, Doing Small Things With Great Love. Her message is powerful and hopeful for the average person who wants to make a difference. Sharon makes the case that true humanitarian service doesn't require a passport or a plane ticket. More often, it begins with what's right in front of you.</p> <p>Find <a href= "https://www.deseretbook.com/product/PR00001103.html?utm_source=ldsliving&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=OBB-S2E3-R00001103&utm_id=OBB-S2E3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doing Small Things With Great Love: How Everyday Humanitarians Are Changing the World</a> on Deseret Bookshelf + or at any Deseret Book store.</p>

The Holy Invitation by Anthony Sweat
<p>The Latter-day temple experience may seem abstract and hard to grasp, but author and professor Anthony Sweat offers a different way in—making the temple endowment more vivid and tangible.</p> <p>In his book, The Holy Invitation, Professor Sweat tells a fictional story that frames the temple endowment as a 'sacred rehearsal,' an intentional preparation for the very real day when we will stand before God Himself. </p> <div class= "mt-6 mt-md-0 col-lg-8 col-md-6 col-12 order-md-1 order-2"> <div class= "view-episode__description pt-1 mb-8 overflow-hidden fs-lg"> <p>Find <a href= "https://www.deseretbook.com/product/P5170470.html?utm_source=ldsliving&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=OBB-E44-5170470&utm_id=OBB-E44" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Holy Invitation: Understanding Your Sacred Temple Endowment</a> on Deseret Bookshelf + or at any Deseret Book store.</p> </div> </div>
