Because He First Loved Us (Paperback)

In this companion volume to his book To Draw Closer to God, Elder Henry B. Eyring of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles vividly describes the depth of God's love for His children.

Then, in his gentle and persuasive way, Elder Eyring explains how, by emulating God's love, we can be more powerful and effective parents, teachers, and missionaries. Using the scriptures and inspiring examples from his life and others, a master teacher defines the gospel truths that speak peace to our hearts, enabling us to love those around us more nearly as God loves us.
