Completing Your Endowment

What as the Lord's purpose in introducing temple ordinances to the Church? Are they simply arcane rituals we must memorize? Do they have some inherent magic necessary for redemption? Or are they rather intended to help the Saints gain knowledge, particularly knowledge which saves? And if imparting knowledge is their purpose, then what is the Lord trying to teach us? Once we have received the ordinances is that enough or is more required to complete our endowment?

This book is an attempt to help you begin to answer these and other questions for yourself. It is written in the hope that it will enable you to perhaps approach the temple with new eyes. It is the third and concluding volume in a series, beginning with Preparing For Your Endowment, and continuing in Understanding Your Endowment.
