This sounds like a friggin testimony meeting! LOL but I really liked how simple this book is!
I have heard all sorts of way that it is supposed to happen. When my wife and I received it, we didn't believe it because it didn't happen in a way we expected, (And we were too young).
I really like this book because it explains the process by which we go from joining the church as new members, (or baptised at 8 years old), through to receiving your calling and election sure.
With regard to Calling and election made sure, it dispels many false ideas regarding where, how and who performs it!
What really gets me excited is that Elliaison provides actual church approved examples of people who have received their calling and election made sure. The examples are taken from a talk by President Romney in general conference. Romney was encouraging the membership to receive their calling and election made sure. He shared examples of the very moment that people received the blessing, who was there, how it was done, etc. I believe that Romney gave these specific examples because he was telling us how it would happen to us and what we should look for!
Elliaison points out the details of each example and breaks down the similarities. I know for myself that Romney was correct, and I have never seen a more clear connected path drawn that links the basic doctrines of the church together to illuminate this topic.
Well written, and in my opinion, it is inspired. We have added this book to our collection of scripture. I encourage you to read it whether or not you have already received your promise.
