This handsome volume brings together for the first time five favorite books by widely acclaimed author and scholar Truman Madsen: Eternal Man, Four Essays on Love, Christ and the Inner Life, The Highest in Us, and The Radiant Life. In Eternal Man we gain insights into the nature of the premortal life and the immortality of man. These profound doctrines are discussed in the context of philosophical questions, including those involving the Creation, suffering, and freedom. Each of the essays in Four Essays on Love discusses a different aspect of love. These essays include 'Joseph Smith and the Sources of Love,' 'How to Be Loved and Beloved,' 'The Language of Love at Home,' and 'Human Anguish and Divine Love.' Powerfully written, Christ and the Inner Life helps us know the Savior and apply his atoning sacrifice to our everyday living. Brother Madsen teaches that Christ's way is a way of sacrifice, self-denial, and discipline, but also of adventure, fulfillment, and joy. In The Highest in Us we learn to recognize and strive for our godly potential. The sacrament, conscience, sacrifice, and the temple are all discussed in these terms. The Radiant Life explores many gospel topics, such as prayer, love, and forgiveness. Filled with scholarship as well as personal examples, this book helps us live the radiant life. Recognized internationally for his scholarship and impressive academic credentials, Brother Madsen is perhaps best known for his ability to teach and explain profound truths in a way that reaches the heart. Five Classics by Truman G. Madsen offers the best of Truman Madsen in one collector's edition.
