"Joseph Smith's observation that 'by proving contraries, truth is made manifest' has become a beloved aphorism of Latter-day Saint thought. In Both Things Are True, Kate Holbrook (1972-2022) experiments on these words. Most aspects of a covenant life are lived in the space between contrary ideas that are equally valid but individually incomplete. It can take a lifetime to learn to hold powerful complimentary truths in equilibrium. She reflects on how this process can be challenging, even painful, but she concludes that as we honor the integrity of truths in their natural, mutual tension, we find our hearts and souls stretched 'wide as eternity' (see Moses 7:14). With vulnerable personal stories, examples from scripture, as well as past and modern Latter-day Saints from Rwanda to Russia, Kate shares her wise empathy and faith-- faith in Jesus Christ and the church she loves, faith in the stories of the past to teach and inspire, and faith in people struggling through mortality."
