Let's Talk About the Law of Consecration
-
Salt Lake City, UT

Deseret Book

"When will Latter-day Saints be asked to live the law of consecration again? The answer may surprise you. Despite what many assume, the command to live the sacred law is actually still in force for members of the Church of Jesus Christ today. In Let's Talk about the Law of Consecration, noted historian Steven C. Harper disabuses readers of the common myth that this law no longer applies to us and illustrates how understanding and living this law are crucial to becoming committed disciples of Christ. Some questions naturally arise when Saints learn they are to live the law of consecration: What exactly is the law? And how do I live it? Harper answers these questions by examining Church history from the time the law was revealed to Saints in 1831 to their eventual move west. Through this discussion, readers will gain a better understanding of how they can implement the law of consecration into their own lives, following the doctrines on which the law is based-- agency, stewardship, and accountability."
