5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent discussion of Mormon beliefs., May 25, 2000
By L. Troy Beals (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Le Grand Richards was an Apostle (the second highest ranking church council in the LDS church) in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He died in the Early 1980's. This is his defintive work. It is one of the only books Mormon Missionaries are allowed to read while they are serving their 1.5 or 2 year missions. The book discusses Mormon beliefs from marriage to temples to what Mormons believe about Heaven and Hell. Anyone investigating the church has not really investigated until they read this book, (other than the Book of Mormon, of course). It is easy to read and powerfully written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book., August 20, 2004
This review is from: A Marvelous Work and a Wonder (Missionary Reference Library) (Paperback)
I read this book a while back and liked it. Although, I must say that I wasn't on the offensive going in as some other reviewers were. I read it for pleasure, not to make suit. I thought the book to be concise and easy to follow, laying out the author's beliefs in a non-obtrusive way. I have since passed it on to several of my friends to read. I would recommend it to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting, inspiring, brilliant, August 13, 2005
By D. Needham (Thousand Oaks, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Brilliant work that makes concepts some believe to be unexplainable mysteries so clear and even easy to understand. The book is a treasure and everyone should read it if they want to better understand the purpose of life.
