Product Description
M. Richard Walker, Kathleen H. Walker
All Latter-day Saints can benefit from this book. If you've never been to the temple, it can help you prepare, and if you are a long time temple attender, it can remind you of some basic things you can do to get the most out of worshiping in that place.” &mdash Association for Mormon Letters
Have you ever felt that there might be something more waiting for you in the temple? Many people who say they love the temple and feel good when they attend still express a desire to bring greater focus to their temple worship. This insightful book from a former temple president and matron is designed to help.
Engagingly written, with many personal experiences and practical applications, House of Learning outlines ways any Latter-day Saint, novice or seasoned, can prepare to be receptive to the spiritual teachings of the temple. It outlines the traits we need to develop to be in the proper frame of mind and heart for temple attendance. Then it explains a simple process through which we can unlock the spiritual meaning of the ordinances — including how they apply in our lives — and make the temple our house of learning.
