Tanya's Book review

D&C 88:118
And as all have not faith,
seek ye diligently and teach one
another words of wisdom: yea,
Seek ye out of the best books
words of wisdom; seek learning,
even by study and also by faith.

Welcome to Tanya's Book review page. I am an avid reader and no I am not a professional critic. I simply love a good novel.

Christ and the New Covenant

by Jeffrey R. Holland

As I mentioned before I love a good book, but even more so I love a good book with a wonderful cover.Christ and the New Covenant happens to be such a book. I wanted the book from the first time I saw it sitting on the shelf in the bookstore and I kept my eye on it until I could buy it. Elder Holland puts and shows his love for the Saviour and the Book of Mormon testimonies of the Saviour in a clear and organized manner. He starts in a chronilogical order to show the many varied witness of Christ in the Book of Mormon. the main body of the book is divided into seven section as Follows:

1. Assertion
2. Antecedent
3. Anticipation
4. Atonement
5. Appearance
6. Afterward
7. Affirmation

He also includes a Preface in which he takes all responsibility of the claims made in his book and that it "is not a product of the Council of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and is not a doctrinal declaration by or for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I alone am responsible for the publication of this work, and I alone am accountable for any errors and limitations it may contain. I can only hope those are relatively few and forgivable." Jeffrey R. Holland(prface xi) The testimony of the Author at the end of the book I found to be very powerful in his belief and Knowledge of the Divinity of the Saviour, and the truth and power in the Book of Mormon. I believe this book to be a must in any LDS library.
