Letters to a Young Mormon by Adam S. Miller

5.0

This book is a treasure to keep close to the heart. It’s a quick read and I have reread it several times because the light shines so brightly on the truths of the gospel. Sunday School teachers sometimes force-feed applications of principles addressed in this book, building a mountain of shame and guilt for youth. Sometimes when a disciple is adept at following and obedience, motivation by guilt or shame continues into adulthood until you’ve lost your life and become spiritually dead, as Miller describes. Rather than filling pages describing the abstract of God’s grace and mercy, Miller shows us what that can look like in the messiness of our daily lives, and leaves us with the question to answer, how does this look for me?
