He emphasizes the importance of family history and temple work, urging members to participate in sacred temple ordinances. In addition, his teachings encompass a wide range of other gospel-related themes. With the perspective of one who endured much personal suffering, he provides words of comfort and understanding to the afflicted. He counsels couples in their marriage and family responsibilities and youth in their dating practices. He expounds upon principles such as faith, obedience, repentance, baptism, prayer, care for the needy, government, the last days, and missionary work. Always he presents his messages with prophetic wisdom, clarity, and a deep and abiding concern for those he is instructing. "President Hunter was one who endeavored to humbly go about life's primary task of living a Christlike life," writes editor Clyde J. Williams. "His efforts in this lifelong goal are reflected clearly in his teachings, and they became the major focus of most everything he taught." That powerful spiritual legacy is made evident in this invaluable book, The Teachings of Howard W. Hunter.Book Details
