Church of Jesus Christ of LDS

President Boyd K. Packer is well known for his years of service as a teacher and leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many would say that his greatest contribution has been that of a teacher. His ability to teach principles with simple everyday examples is a gift. This gift came as a natural ability but has been refined by years of study, practice, and prayer. But what most people don t know is that President Packer has had a pastime of painting and carving. This hobby has been used to beautify his home, teach his children, and provide needed relaxation. While he was painting or carving, his mind was carving out a sermon. He has created what some describe as masterpieces. To him, they are simply an attempt to capture the beauty of nature. He has modeled clay, carved wood, and used oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastels, charcoal, crayon, ink, and pencil. The collection covers seventy-seven years of effort, beginning in 1933 at age nine. His carvings of life-size birds in natural habitats are perhaps the apex of his artistic creations. Of more enduring worth, however, are the valuable lessons taught through his art, illustrations, parables, and example. At the heart of both his art and teachings is light.

Everyone is a teacher and everyone can learn to teach better. That is the theme and substance of Teach Ye Diligently, a book that has become one of the premier resources on gospel teaching since its initial publication in 1975. A teacher by profession, President Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles draws upon personal experiences and observations in the classroom, as a teaching administrator, and in his own family to provide insightful interpretations of teaching principles that can help everyone who teaches in any type of situation. There are suggestions to help the classroom teacher maintain discipline, provide a climate conducive to learning, and principles to aid the learning process. For parents as well as those called formally to teach, there are suggestions on how to make difficult subjects more easily understood, how to address the hard-to-answer questions, and how to get the attention of students.

Teach Ye Diligently

Perfect for sharing with others, Our Father's Plan is a beautifully written explanation of our Heavenly Father's love and His eternal plan for his children. In this gift book, Elder Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve writes, ''If we have come to know our Father's plan, we are never completely lost. We know much of what lies beyond the horizon on either side,and which path will be safe for us to follow.'''

Enseñad Diligentemente (Spanish - Teach Ye Diligently)

This is a comprehensive book about the LDS temple. It examines in detail the doctrines and practices which surround that holy building, and their implications for the individual Church member. Part one offers the Lord's invitation: "Come to the temple." It sets forth the requirements for attendance: preparation through worthiness, and the attitude and behavior appropriate for those attending that holy place on the first and all subsequent occasions. Part two deals with the ancient temples then turns to the central human figure in the work of the temple- Elijah the Prophet, who anciently held the keys relative to the sealing power of the priesthood. Malachi's prophecy and the human tradition about Elijah's return in the latter days are impressively set forth. Elijah's return and all that it means for the happiness and salvation of mankind are the themes of parts three and four. Following early Restoration scenes, here is the Kirtland Temple built at great personal sacrifice. Dedicated, it fulfills a major purpose in the glorious visions of April 3, 1836, the Savior himself introducing three heavenly beings who then convey priesthood keys. One of these is Elijah. Thereafter the revelations progressively develop the doctrine of temple work for both the living and the dead; under divine direction temple ceremonies are introduced and participants flock to the Nauvoo Temple; through President Wilford Woodruff the supporting work of lineage linking is clarified by revelation; and the spirit of Elijah is manifest both in and out of the Church as genealogical research and temple work blossom, temples multiply, and those beyond the veil assist those involved in the work here. The endowment with its sacred covenants and its symbolic instruction, the sealing ordinance, and other temple ceremonies are discussed sensitively and authoritatively. Written direct to the reader, this is an outstanding book on a subject crucial to every child of God.
