Itchy, Itchy Chicken Pox
My daughter and I have enjoyed reading this book numerous times. The theme was very appropiate recently when there was an outbreak of chicken pox in her school. The story highlights different aspects of chicken pox and help to prepare or soothe a child who has been exposed and/or fighting the "itch" battle. This is a good book for beginning readers because of the repetiveness and flow of the text. I would strongly recommend this book to beginner and not-so-beginner readers.

Jesus Christ: The Only Sure Foundation

Best book on the Atonement ("Beliving Christ" not exempt!)
Bar none, this book is the single best volume for learning about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaching on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It has an advantage over the more popular "Believing Christ," because Dr. Millet spends more time getting into the exquisiteness of the Fall of Adam and Eve. Steven Robinson vaguely alludes to the Fall in "Believing Christ," although he has a chapter devoted to that pillar of eternity in "Following Christ," the ugly stepsister of the two books.

I think that this book covers all of the topics, and has two chapters devoted to Justification and Sanctification, specifically naming these concepts, while Robinson only describes them. I am not trying to pit the two books against each other, but I think that Dr, Millet has a more through explanation of the dynamics of Christ's mission vis-à-vis Adam's mission.

Several years ago, Elder McConkie spoke of the Three Pillars of Eternity, and chapter three of the Harold B. Lee manual picks up on the same concept, namely we need to understand Adam's role and mission before we can understand Christ's role and mission. And Adam's mission as predicated upon the nature of the Creation. See 1 Cor. 15:45-49; Mormon 9:11-13; 2 Nephi 2. These Three Pillar of Creation, Fall, and Atonement are perfectly taught in the Endowment.

Dr. Millet picked up on these three pillars and writes a marvelous book getting into all the details of the Fall and the Atonement. Indeed, it stands to reason that if the Atonement was infinite and eternal, that the fall must also be infinite and eternal, falling from an infinite and eternal creation.

I would recommend reading "Believing Christ," and "Following Christ," then reading "Within Reach," then reading this book, to get everything in order. Then go on to reading "Alive in Christ," also by Dr. Millet, then Elder Bruce C. Hafen's The Trilogy of the Heart. No scholar can say to another, "I have no need of thee."

Influence
Julia's mother can no longer run a boarding house and must move in with Julia's older sister. Julia takes a bookkeeping job in a paper factory to earn a living. She asks counsel of a friend of her family on where she could board. He, Dr. Douglass, arranges it so that she will live at the same house where he boards. He is a strong Christian and is eager for Julia to use her influence for Christ's sake. Instead, the mistress of the house, Mrs. Tyndall, pulls her down by encouraging her to act and say things that are unpleasing to God. Abbie Reid, Julia's cousin, comes for a visit and the Lord uses her example to turn both Julia and Mrs. Tyndall around, as well as others in town. Standing up for what is right in God's eyes, forgiveness & kindness in word and deed represent a few points in this excellant book.


Justification by Faith: A Matter of Death and Life
Published in Paperback by Fortress Press (June, 1982)
Author: Gerhard O. Forde
Amazon base price: $5.95
Used price: $27.25
Average review score:

Justification in Terms of Life and Death
Another good read. O Forde makes a great case both from Luther's writings and scripture that Justification needs to be placed not only as a forensic/courtroom truth as in the Lutheran Confessions but needs also to be restored under the 'death/life' category as well. It's not until we come to the end of our own 'theological rope' and despair of our self efforts towards salvation (via the cross)that we can clearly see salvation hanging there for us. The author begins with our need to 'sit down, shut up, and listen' (to scripture) and the book goes uphill from there.
