True Conversion
Posted On: 04/17/2008 13:38:47

I'm reading this great little book by one of my favorite authors, Elder Neal A. Maxwell, "Moving in His Majestry and Power". It was written in 2004, the manuscript finished just 10 days before his death. There are ten chapters of deep reflection on various subjects. I just finished the chapter entitled, "Conversion" and it has many wonderful insights.

I recall a Church leader, maybe President Hinckley, saying a big concern of the Church should be "retention, retention, retention". In other words, those who choose to join the Church should be retained in the Church. It seems many converts join, but never become active and soon drift away.

Maybe the problem is true conversion. In his chapter, "Conversion", Neal A. Maxwell looks at what true conversion actually is.

Here are some quotes from "Conversion"....   Click Here

True, the church retention is problem. As looking at Military Membership and the culture, it is a constant struggle to ensure Elders make it past the first five-years of service and be fully active in the church.
