Yet LDS servicemen on the front lines kept the faith, despite numerous physical and spiritual dangers. Though these soldiers suffered hardships, these stories show how they--like the Army of Helaman--were miraculously preserved and protected according to the Lord's promises.

President Gordon B Hinckley declared: “I would hope that in all we do, we would somehow constantly nourish the testimony of our people concerning the Savior.” The Old Testament, like the Book of Mormon, has the ultimate purpose of bearing witness of Jesus Christ and bringing souls to him. It is filled with types and shadows that point to the Savior and his powers. The most poignant, visible symbols of Him are those people whose callings, actions, and speech mirrored Christ’s-those whom we recognize as prophets, priest and kings. Brother Skinner examines twenty individuals whose lives and experiences typified, paralleled, and foreshadowed the life and ministry of Christ, the great Prophet, Priest and King.

What can the Old Testament teach us about how to live the gospel in our own day? How can understanding the law of Moses help us live the higher law of Christ? What beautiful promises of peace and comfort are woven throughout the Psalms?

Here we learn how to discover our Savior, Jesus Christ, in each book of Old Testament scripture. The authors shed clarifying light on the five books of Moses (the Pentateuch), the history of Jehovah's dealings with Israel through the reign of Solomon, and the beloved and beautiful psalms of ancient Israel. Brother Ogden and Skinner help us see the importance of offering sacrifice and keeping covenants as they discuss the symbolism of the Ark of the Covenant and the operation of the ancient Tabernacle and Temple. Quotations from latter-day prophets and apostles enhance these solid doctrinal discussions and explanations of difficult passages to help us liken the scriptures of ancient Israel unto ourselves.

We gain insights into the blessings of offering sacrifice and keeping covenants.

Verse by Verse, The Old Testament Volume 2

Living apostles and prophets have testified that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is the most important event in time or all eternity, and the event upon which our Heavenly Father's plan of happiness rests. This three-in-one book explores the Savior's atoning sacrifice, which took place in Gethsemane, Golgotha, and the Garden Tomb. In Gethsemane, Jesus consumed the bitter cup so we would not have to. On Golgothas hill,l the bitter cup was refilled and drunk again with the Lord's crucifixion. The wonder of it all culminates at the Garden Tomb with the Savior's glorious triumph over the grave. This inspiring book also testifies of our own eventual liberation from death. In doing so, Brother Skinner dispels some of the most compelling uncertainties associated with mortality: What happens to our spirits at the moment of death? What might we experience in the interval between death and resurrection? What will the wonder of resurrection mean to us and to those we love? Because of Jesus Christ, we are assured that the grave is not our destination, merely the portal to immortality and eternal life.
