With every passing day, the unforgettable imagery in Lehi's dream becomes more real and more relevant. In our modern world, we can literally hear the taunts and see the pointing fingers of people like those in the great and spacious building. We find ourselves clinging with greater energy to the rod of iron as we work through the massive mists of darkness toward the tree of life. In Lifestyles of the Great and Spacious, John Bytheway looks at Lehi's dream, and with his characteristic humor, comments from Church leaders, scholarly insights, and personal experiences, he expands our understanding of these precious verses of scripture. If you enjoyed Isaiah for Airheads or Of Pigs, Pearls, and Prodigals or Righteous Warriors, you'll enjoy the additional scriptural insights and easy-to-understand teaching style from John in this new publication. John Bytheway served a mission to the Philippines and later graduated from Brigham Young University. A favorite speaker and teacher, John holds a master's degree in Religious Education and is a part-time instructor at BYU. John is the author of many bestselling books, audio talks, and DVDs, including Of Pigs, Pearls, and Prodigals, When Times Are Tough, Isaiah for Airheads, and Heroes: Lessons from the Book of Mormon.(per amazon).
My review:
The Bible is so full of different people and times. I love when I get the opportunity to learn about a specific time or person. I really enjoyed learning about Lehi, and the part that talks about facing scoffers is definitely worth the read. These 32 versus definitely made more sense to me after this read. I also recommend the book "Life Rocks" by the same author. A good foundation helps ensure a good future. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
