The Comprehensive Collection of Bennion's Essays

Someone once said that the essay was *the* essential form of Mormon writing because it so nearly matched our tradition of testimony-bearing and Nephi's standard of "glorying in plainness." This book is the essential collection of Lowell Bennion's work, stretching from his earliest contributions to published church manuals to late in his life (though he managed to complete several small books in his old age after this was assembled.) Every page is a feast for those who would like to reconcile the best of LDS teachings with the best of the world's humane wisdom. Common sense was Bennion's guiding light, as he struggled to search out what the Holy Spirit made manifest in the turbulent world. This edition was published by Deseret Book (as were most of Bennion's earlier books.) It's a shame it's out of print. A new generation needs it very badly.
