Perfection Pending

An admired and respected apostle, Elder Russell M. Nelson's book features a compilation of twenty-one talks from General Conference and BYU devotionals.

In one volume you'll read Elder Nelson's comments and counsel on such subjects as listening, making right choices, enduring to the end, applying the Atonement, and making covenants. With his positive attitude and customary wit, Elder Nelson gives us hope toward an eternal life with our Father in Heaven, if we will but endure. Perfection Pending will be a valuable addition to any Latter-day Saint's library.
