Prophetic Statements on Food Storage for Latter-Day Saints [Paperback]

Neil Leash (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1999

Prophetic Statements on Food Storage for Latter-day Saints has one promise when it comes to food storage—peace of mind and how to earn it. Author Neil H. Leash has drawn together the messages of LDS General Authorities given to the Saints concerning the essential need for food storage in preparation for tribulations. He focuses on “crystallizing moments”—sudden events that radically changed mankind’s actions and directions during the past century—and shows that similar events can be expected in the future. “The degree of our preparation will equal the extent of our obedience, which will determine the measure of our peace of mind,” writes the author. He shows that prophetic warnings and promises, both past and current, clearly show that many Saints are not prepared for emergencies. In addition to answering questions such as “Where should Latter-day Saints live during times of tribulation?” and “Should we share our food storage?” this important book offers a brief review of monetary history, comments on the human factors of economics, and basic food storage quantities. In no other single volume can you get prophetic guidance that gives you the basic principles of food storage and helps you gain for yourself and your family the peace of mind you’ve been seeking.

5.0 out of 5 stars I hold it in the same hand as my scriptures, January 25, 2007

This book is so powerful!! It should GLOW!! 150 years of statements on the topic of food storage and the reasons behind why. If you or anyone you know is to any degree lukewarm on this topic...it will chew you up and spit you out a changed person. This is an absolute classic...I am confident that many who read it will want to buy a case to give them out.

I lent mine to my sister in law and when she returned it she said "I didn't want it to end!" It has many statements of prophets I have read no where else...(substantiated of course) and the observations of the author Neal H. Leash are quotable...absolutely powerful! It also discusses the oft wondered..."should I share my food storage".

I took a highlighter through this book to mark the good parts and found I was highlighting almost the whole book!

Some could look at the title of the book and say "boring!"...but ye know not what ye say! If you have even an inkling of the spirit...you will not be disappointed.

This book is amazing and very powerful. It's not overwhelming but it does open you eyes as to what the different prophets and general authorities have said over the ages and having it all in one book makes it easy to follow. It answers so many questions: "Should we share our food storage with others?", "What should we store?", "Why?", etc...

It covers topics such as the preparedness responsibilities of local church leaders and what our own individual responsibilities are. "The revelation to produce and store food may be as essential to our temporal welfare as boarding the ark was to the people of Noah." ~President Ezra taft Benson

A definate must have in every family's home, LDS or not.
