Reviewed By: Fred Taylor

When I started reading this book I was riveted to it.  I couldn't put it down. I read about two-thirds of it one evening, and finished it the next afternoon. The author uses a style of writing that makes the book very easy to relate to and understand.

The book brings out many things about the Atonement that I had had never heard or thought about before.  Several stories from the scriptures are used to explain the necessity of forgiving others when they offend us.  It also explains the necessity of forgiving ourselves for our mistakes, and how we must overcome our natural pride in order to forgive.

This book is one of the very best I have ever read about the tonement. I would recommend it to anyone. The Atonement is one thing we can never know too much about.
