Promise of the Atonement

By Ester Rasband

Book Overview

Author: ?+ Ester Rasband Audiobook Available?+ Description:

The Lord promises victims full restitution and thorough healing. He taught this doctrine to ancient Israel and during his earthly ministry, and he has reaffirmed it in these latter days. The law of Moses is the schoolmaster that holds the key to understanding his promise. It can lead us to valuing the Atonement enough to forgive and to feel forgiven.

"The mistaken notion that we are required to excuse those who have trespassed against us and that we must discount the pain we have suffered leaves many wounded souls unnecessarily guilt-ridden and comfortless," writes author Ester Rasband.

In this important volume, we learn that acceptance of the Atonement allows us to forgive those who have wronged us? not because that acceptance is a forfeiture of justice but because it is the very assurance of it. And justice, as The Promise of the Atonement ultimately shows, means restitution, restoration, and healing for the "heavy laden."

Understanding the Atonement for Everyday Living

This book simplified the complexity of the atonement and made it more personal and an integral part of better understanding the plan of happiness and the significant role of the atonement in everyday life. With that understanding comes a deeper level of insight, comfort, and appreciation for the Savior, but also a better understanding and compassion of people in general. An excellent book. Well worth the time to read and study.
