All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience [Audio CD]

Neal A. Maxwell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 7, 2007

How can God know all things and still allow us our agency? Why does God permit the righteous to suffer at the hands of the wicked? Why doesn't God grant all of the things we ask for in prayer? In this audio book, Elder Neal A. Maxwell answers these and other questions and discusses the omniscience of an omnipotent and omniloving God; service and the second great commandment; growth through counsel, correction, and commendation; growth through prayer; and the importance of service and of following the Brethren. All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience focuses on some of the "hard doctrines" Church members must grapple with. It will help Latter-day Saints prepare for the trials ahead, while assuring them that the power of God's love is constantly awailable to the faithful.

Still Wonderful

Angela, UTAH - October 24, 2008

 I read this book over and over again and still learn new things about my Heavenly Father, my purpose, and the love of forgiveness. This book is an eternal gift. Give it to anyone you know, or give it to yourself to learn how to better uplift, love, and serve.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book of comfort, solace, and deep understading, September 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience (Paperback)

Neal A. Maxwell, a sufferer of cancer and a man devoted to God, struggles with issues that eventually impact all of us: why do good people suffer? Why does God sometimes appear to take away hope from those who pursue an active discipleship?

Continuing a religious dialogue begun by C. S. Lewis, Rabbi Kuchnar, and others , Maxwell argues that pain and suffering only make sense when viewed within an eternal context: suffering, loss, and pain, rather than fermenting bitterness, can indeed deepen our empathy for others, allow us a greater approach to humility, and a provide a path to strengthen discipleship. In the words of C.S.Lewis, God sometimes wishes to create a mansion from our little cottage rather than the modest remodeling that we initially anticipated.

If you, or a loved one have experienced a loss, this book is a must- it offers a message of love, comfort, and engouragement. It will deepen your understanding of your relationship to the eternal and will help you better understand your own struggles and hardships. This is one of the most impressive books I have ever read since it springs from the deep well of the author's experience and speaks to a core issue at the heart of all our lives. Neal A. Maxwell is a gift to our world, and whatever your religious or non-religious background, I think you will fine his book thought-provoking and ultimately comforting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucid, Pithy, Quotable Gem, April 26, 2002

This review is from: All these things shall give thee experience (Hardcover)

Neal Maxwell is a man who "walks the talk." In this book, he treats through LDS scripture the concept of suffering, and its value. Subsequent to the publication of this book, Maxwell had an "opportunity" to survive a terrible battle with cancer. During this battle, Maxwell lived out those principles he elucidated in this great little tome.

Neal Maxwell is my favorite living LDS author. I read him still although I'm no longer LDS.
