Opis

The Lord revealed that in the last days He would "proceedto bring to pass my act, my strange act, and perform my work, my strange work" among men. What is His strange work and strange act? How does it differ from His work and His act? And can both coexist? A thorough and careful examination of scripture demonstrates that the great deceptions and trials of our time are purposed as a test-and a gift-from God "that men may discern between the righteous and the wicked" (D&C 101:95). Beginning with the "strange" great and spacious building Lehi saw in dream, this introductory volume explores the many intricate workings that offer us a choice between good and evil, righteousness and wickedness, truth and error, and God's way versus the cunning, careful, and deceptive ways of evil. Examining doctrines, rituals, politics, attitudes, beliefs, and traditions in light of what is "strange" paints a shocking picture that hopefully will awaken us to reality and increase our spiritual discernment. In a surprising and at times difficult irony, we find thatmen's workings are strange to God, and God's workings are strange to men.In His wisdom, mortality provides us the opportunity to choose whether to be a stranger to the world and a friend to God, or to remain estranged from Him."
