Life Changing, May 31, 2009

I read this book directly after Kimball's "Miracle of Forgiveness." The juxtaposition was wonderful. While Kimball's words are detailed and one might say harsh (though in the best of ways). Wilcox's "The Continuous Atonement" is embracing with love. It presents repentance as something beautifully simple and simply beautiful. We are all in need of help and this book tells of where to find it. This book will change your life in the simplest, yet most wonderful of ways.

A refreshing and hopeful look at a constant principle, June 24, 2009
By DeeDee

At a time when this earthly journey seems to be in jeopardy, when there's little help for feeling hope and despair seems deeper than ever, The Continuous Atonement brought me a great light to understanding this constant principle. Brad's personal stories of his missionaries, his family and his own teaching experiences enriched his explanation of the atonement in a way that I could truly wrap my heart around and strengthen my testimony. I am better for reading this book and am enpowered each day reflecting on his words of the gift of the atonement. A must read for all. Thank you, Brad!

This has opened my eyes a little differently, to appreciate the Atonement, and its continual application to us all!

This review is from: The Continuous Atonement (Hardcover)

I'm not one to read mainstream LDS books other than the scriptures. But "Continuous Atonement" was recommended to me by a close family member at a time in my life when I felt particularly down. I checked the book out from the library, and slowly devoured every page over a month's time, marking my scriptures with insights I'd received, and filling my journal pages with lessons taught me of God as I read the book. After finishing the book I felt the need to have my own copy that I could mark up, so now I'm going through the book again, slowly as part of my daily scripture study so I can again be reminded of the great blessing of Christ's Atonement.

Whereas President Kimball's "Miracle of Forgiveness" seems to be for those who need to be humbled to seek God in the repentance process, "Continuous Atonement" is for those who are already humbled, contrite and repentant, and may have lost hope in being able be clean and to measure up to what God wants. For these people this book gives hope in accepting the Atonement fully.

I wish I'd have read this book as a pre-missionary so I could have taught those I met the amazing blessings of the Atonement. But I will now teach the wonderful blessings of the Atonement every chance I get.

This review is from: The Continuous Atonement (Hardcover)

This book was well written and easy to understand. Lots of real-life stories to relate to. Left me full of hope and with a determination to be gentle with myself and less judgmental. The book will be part of my daily scripture study for the next year or more. I'm ordering copies for my children and friends. Thank you, Brother Wilcox, for helping me understand this important principle and its application to my daily life.
