"Not only will the word of God lead us to the fruit which is desirable above all other," said President Ezra Taft Benson, "but in the word of God and through it we can find the power to resist temptation, the power to thwart the work of Satan and his emissaries. The word of God, as found in the scriptures, in the words of living prophets, and in personal revelation, has the power to fortify the Saints and arm them with the Spirit so they can resist evil, hold fast to the good, and find joy in this life." Now, in The Power of the Word, Robert L. Millet, dean of religious education at Brigham Young University, explains the saving doctrines found in the Book of Mormon, including the condescension of God, the fall of Adam and Eve, redemption through the Holy Messiah, the New Birth, the Fatherhood and Sonship of Christ, the path of repentance, justice and mercy, the house of Israel, the pure love of Christ, and the salvation of little children. Those who are interested in clear yet powerful explanations of Church doctrine will appreciate the discussions found in this book. Brother Millet writes, "I have great confidence in the power of the word to penetrate the hearts of men and women. I have special confidence in the unique language, logic, and transforming power of the Book of Mormon. Mine is an overwhelming desire to 'try the virtue of the word of God,' to trust in the Lord's ability to communicate with the people of this final dispensation through this ancient but ever-pertinent voice that speaks to us, one and all, from the dust."
