Product Description
Author : Robert Millet
We are a covenant-making people, but do we fully appreciate the power of the promises contained in just twelve short verses of the oath and covenant of the priesthood? Following Men of Valor and Men of Influence, Robert Millet explores the power, scope, and responsibilities of the priesthood in Men of Covenant. As we consider the promises Melchizedek Priesthood holders make to God and God's irrevocable promise to faithful priesthood holders, we discover the incomparable blessings that are available to those who magnify their calling and live by every word of God.
Every chapter of Men of Covenant explores a particular facet of D&C 84:33-44. While the book is written primarily to men, the lessons it teaches and the principles of covenant-keeping it elucidates are just as relevant to the women of the Church, because exaltation is a family affair, and it is achieved as a husband and a wife, working together, enjoy the sweet fruits of the priesthood her and thereby qualify for the fullness of priesthood blessings hereafter.

Informative and fascinating.
There are some authors that I know I will love everything they write. Relating to gospel topics, Robert Millet is one of those authors. I know that when I pick up a Millet book I will learn something that I didn't know before. The focus of the book is COVENANTS: what they are, their importance in our lives, and the blessings that can come into our lives when we live them. One thing he points out in the first chapter that I had never thought about but which makes complete sense is that Jesus Christ himself made covenants with Heavenly Father when he stepped forward to be our Savior. And because he made and kept that covenant he received the connected blessings. The rest of the book focuses on the covenants that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints make and with the Savior's help strive to keep. The last part of the book talks about the blessings that are connected to those covenants. A wonderfully written book that I can highly recommend to both male and female readers. While the book specifically focuses on men, it's useful for women to know as well since the covenants women make connect and overlap with those made by the men.
