Author: Russell M. Nelson
About Product: “The laws or truths I will share in this book are not merely ideas I have studied and examined; they are the very essence of my life’s experiences.” —President Russell M. Nelson
It is a rare opportunity to learn from the wisdom of one who has witnessed a century of life, including all of its joys, sorrows, changes, and unchanging truths. It is even rarer to have such a witness from a prophet of God. Having been first called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1984, President Russell M. Nelson has viewed much of the world’s modern history through the lens of a special witness of Christ. Living through technological innovation from radio to rocket ships, wars and resolutions, cultural shifts and progress, President Nelson has seen the workings of the Almighty in all aspects of life. In Heart of the Matter, he reflects back on his one hundred years of living and the lessons he’s learned over the past century, including the core truths he has come to know matter most for this life and the next.
President Nelson proclaims: “Through the ups and downs, the joys and heartaches, of a century of living, there is nothing of which I am more certain than that Heavenly Father is our Father, that His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, is our Savior and Redeemer, and that the Holy Ghost can be your constant companion, whispering truths to your soul. I am certain that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored in its fullness and is filled with the Savior’s power to bless you in ways no one else and nothing else can.” The testimony of a beloved prophet and a hundred years of experience and insight come together to assure us that because Jesus Christ overcame this world, we too can overcome all things and find peace and rest in Him.

All the areas of focus from the prophet in one book. Love it!
I just finished reading “Heart of the Matter” by Russell M. Nelson I enjoyed President Rusell M. Nelson’s most recent book. If you've listened to his General Conference talks as the prophet, you will have heard many of the stories retold in this book. But to have all his areas of focus in greater detail in one book is just fantastic. My favorite chapter is the one where he talks about why it was decided to refocus on the full name of the church. I remember struggling when this decision was announced. As a business guy who is fascinated with how branding affects business, it seemed like a mistake to move away from what seemed like a perfectly short and memorable name like “Mormon.” I had no problem sustaining the prophet and using the full name, but it still felt like a mistake. It was not until I read this chapter that I actually gained a testimony of this decision. We need the world to know that everything we do revolves around Jesus Christ. He is our everything. And a refocus on the divinely chosen name of the church helps us do this. I’m just amazed at all this man is doing. When most people would probably consider their contributable time to be at an end, Russell M. Nelson, at age 93, was being called as the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And at 99 he’s still at it. www.lookforthegood.me

It is very inspiring, each chapter has teachings that show you how to prepare to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ. I love President Nelson and his sweet, clear and simple way of teaching eternal principles, which awakens immense gratitude in my heart for there being a living prophet
