Customer Reviews

These books are great!!!

This collection of three adventure novels includes "One In Thine Hand", "The Alliance", and "Leverage Point". These are three of my favorite books. The first book is the story of a returned missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS)that goes to Israel after a tour in Vietnam and meets a Jewish girl. He also meets a Palestinian on the plane who has converted to the LDS faith. It has great explanations of the differences in the three religions and cultures and an exquisite example of why Christ, the Son of God, had to descend below all things while he himself was free of sin, something very incompressible to the Jewish characters. The second book is a science fiction story of survivors of a nuclear war. One group is led by a scientist who implants the members of his community with emotion controls so that they may not get angry and therefore can never commit the acts that resulted in the destruction of civilization. It explores the importance of free agency and the results when it is taken away.The last book tells of an LDS professor who is chosen by a very successful businessman to help in negotiations of an arms deal with Saudi Arabia and the efforts of Israel to thwart the deal. It explores the "third alternative" to resolve difficult situations while remaining true to one's faith and ideals. It also has the characters take a hard look at priorities...family and business responsibilities.These are excellent books with lots of "meat" to them. They are currently out of print so I was lucky to obtain a used copy at a great price after giving my copy to a friend. Now that Gerald N. Lund has become a General Authority of the LDS Church perhaps Deseret Book will consider re-releasing them. I really hope so!!!

It was Great

This book would have been great, i'm sure, if i had read it. I've been stuck on every book i've read the gerald lund has written (except for one, but that's because it was about something i'm not all that interested in). Anyways, whoever is reading this should read is bestselling searies, the work and the glory. they're really good. that's all i have to say about that.
