The Sperry Symposium is sponsored annually by Brigham Young University and the Church Educational System. Named in honor of the late Dr. Sidney B. Sperry, who, in the course of his forty-year career, earned a reputation for outstanding teaching and scholarship, the symposium seeks to perpetuate his memory by fostering continuing research on gospel topics. This symposium was held in the fall of 1993 where more than twenty papers related to the Old Testament were presented. The contributors followed the general theme of God's relationship to his covenant people. This compilation features selected talks from that gathering. Essays include topics such as: The Exodus: History and Type; Seals and Sealing in Israel; The Lord Will Redeem His People: Adoptive Covenant and Redemption in the Old Testament; The Creation, Fall and Atonement: The Great Plan for Edifying Family Relationships.

Challenges are a necessary part of mortality. But as author M. Catherine Thomas points out, the suffering that accompanies challenges can be lessened and our joy increased through a more informed faith. Her concepts of "spiritual lightening" suggests that spiritual principles and powers can both enlighten minds and lighten burdens. Practical as well as refreshingly insightful, this book illuminates many of those principles. Working from a base of solid gospel scholarship and personal experience, the author discusses such topics as the difference between self-confidence and confidence in God, overcoming spiritual discouragement, women and the priesthood, separating fear from love in parenting, and healing through repentance. This thought-provoking book points the way to deeper understanding, personal peace, and joy in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Light In The Wilderness

M. Catherine Thomas has been called "the female version of Truman G. Madsen." An adult convert to the Church Sister Thomas brings a fresh and profound insight to every subject that falls within her purview. Selected Writings of M. Catherine Thomas began as one of a series of books whose purpose was to make available otherwise difficult to obtain or inaccessible speeches and articles of leading LDS scholars. This book was originally published by Amalphi in 2007 and then picked up by Deseret Book. It has been out of print for over three years. This new expanded edition includes two additional chapters that have never been published in this collection and likely never seen by most readers. The two bonus chapters add more than 55 pages to the 330 page book. The bonus chapters are titled: 1) Provocation in the Wilderness and the Rejection of Grace 2) The Conspiracy Begins Sister Thomas received her doctorate in Ancient and Early Christian History; she served on the Brigham Young University faculty in the Ancient Scripture Department, and also at the BYU Jerusalem Center. Several of her previously unpublished talks and articles are now available in this book. Sister Thomas is a highly respected author and scriptorian. Her insights have great depth and encourage one to seek deeper into the meaning of scripture and doctrine. She writes engagingly whether dealing with spiritual or academic themes. Sister Thomas' books and writings seem to have a profound influence upon her readers. Just read some of the reviews.
