I like Brother Robinson’s style of writing with good analogies. I like to read about faith and works so I think I’ll get the book and read it. I think it will come in handy when I meet anyone who may be born again.

I read your book list. One book that we share is The Infinite Atonement. I enjoyed it immensely. It is the best book I’ve read about the Atonement but then I haven’t read them all but I can't imagine anyone else writing a better book on such a sacred topic.

I haven’t read The Peacegiver which I also heard was a very good book.

Another book I’d recommend is a book called Fire in the Bones. It’s about William Tynsdale and how the bible got translated into English. It gives one a great appreciate for all that they had to endure and not just torture but losing their own lives. I would even say he was preordained to the do this work. You can almost feel the hand of the Lord in getting this work done and in preparing for the restoration.

Ah, so many books, too little time.

Thanks for your post.

Perhaps in the eternities we'll get to read them.

My interests lie in the following:

Personal Revelation
Holy Ghost
Jesus Christ
Atonement
Second Comforter


I don't read much outside of that.



If you want a really good book on the Atonement, try this one (also in my reading list):

Amazon.com: The Atonement of Jesus Christ: A study of the saving atonement of Jesus Christ: Kevan Kingsley Clawson: Books



You don't have to AGREE with it, but read it at least once. It will open your eyes.





Also:


Amazon.com: Obtaining Your Calling & Election: Kevan Kingsley Clawson, Terri Hopkins Clawson, John Hopkins, Jaime Clawson: Books



It will explain to you, for the first time, how Faith, Hope and Charity are linked and how actual Charity is defined and accomplished (through personal revelation).

I like your interest list. It is right on. We need each and every one of those in our lives.

I haven’t heard of Kingsley’s book but I assume he’s LDS too. Your comment about not having to AGREE with it was an interesting comment. It leaves me wondering what part I might not agree with or maybe all of it.

How does this book compare to the one we both have read, The Infinite Atonement? Which book gave you the most meaning? I know it’s sometimes it’s hard to compare books or even remember details from a book you may not have read in some time.
