Stand Ye In Holy Places & Decisions for Successful Living (2 bks)- Harold B. Lee

Description: Stand Ye In Holy Places: Though he served as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for only eighteen months, Harold B. Lee left a great legacy to the Church through the wisdom and inspiration of his writings and sermons. In this volume are gathered some of the most powerful of these gospel themes. President Lee was called to be a special witness of the Lord in April 1941, when he was sustained as a member of the Council of the Twelve Apostles. But even before that, through a rich pioneer heritage, a loving and spiritual childhood home, and unusual leadership ability and callings in his young manhood, he had proved to be a man of great wisdom, vision, and understanding. During the years of the Great Depression, he had pioneered, as a stake president, a program that was to become one of the most profound concepts ever known for self-help and sustenance-the great Welfare Program of the Church, which today extends to Latter-day Saints everywhere throughout the world. His wisdom, vision, and understanding of a priesthood-directed kingdom of God on the earth were instrumental in the founding and forming of today's great correlation program of the Church. And many, many other programs today are successful because of the guidance and direction he gave them through more than three decades of service as a greatly beloved and respected General Authority. In this book are found some of the outstanding expositions of President Lee on pertinent gospel themes: the importance of knowing and obeying God, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost; the efficacy of prayer, truth, and revelation; the calling of the prophet, seer, and revelator to direct God's kingdom on earth; the Lord's magnificent plan for the government of that kingdom through the priesthood; and the basic principles and ordinances of the Church. Decisions for Successful Living: Newly revised and enlarged, this important book by one of the prominent leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints now becomes even more valuable as a message for today's youth—and for adults as well. For the most part the writings contained herein are based on a series of radio messages delivered in 1945 under the heading "Youth and the Church." Though the author talked directly and frankly to the youth about their problems of that day, it is amazing to note that the wisdom of his counsel is so pertinent and applicable to the problems of this present day. This fact attests to the unchanging principles of truth found in the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, which teachings provide the "answers to every question and the solution of every problem essential to the social, temporal, and spiritual welfare of human beings who are all the children of God, our Eternal Father." These messages, which were so popular among youth of the day they were first given, are just as vital for the eternal well-being of today's most promising generation, faced as it is with the never-ending contest between truth and error, righteousness and wickedness. Says the author: "If by a reading of my humble offerings the reader is induced to a deeper study of the Scriptures wherein may be found the sure guide to eternal happiness through an abiding testimony in the mission of the Lord Jesus Christ, I will have accomplished my purpose."
