This week we'll be reading The Holy Invitation by Anthony Sweat. I read this book (and it's companion, "The Holy Covenants") earlier this year and both books really impacted me so I wanted to share them with you! You are at the age to prepare to go through the temple to receive your own endowment so these books are timely and meaningful.
This book also highlights the need for temples on earth which goes perfectly with what we've been learning about America being a covenant land where the restoration could take place, where religious freedom could flourish and temples could begin to dot the earth.
After reading this book you can choose one of these two assignments:
First, if you feel like you know very little about the endowment and what it means to receive your endowment in the temple then head here:

Second, if you feel pretty familiar with what it means to receive your endowment, then listen to this talk by the same author, which talks about the covenants you make in the temple:

Text me if you're coming so I can figure out what treat to bring! And if you're all treated out after Christmas feel free to include that in your text so I know 👀
