"Christ's Atonement elevates us on our best days and comforts and heals us on our worst days."

-David Vandagriff, I Need Thee Every Hour


i bought this book because it has a pretty cover. and because i love the title. it was a good thing i judged this book by its cover; it was incredible. i have marked and highlighted and flagged something on nearly every page of the book. some books on the Atonement feel so heavy and overwhelming. this book simply discusses our day-to-day difficulties and how the Atonement not only gets us through, but helps us become better. if you're looking for an uplifting read (or a mother's day gift), this book is a great choice.

Oh, that cover is beautiful! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who judges books by their cover. :) Thanks for the suggestion...I may need to give it to myself for mother's day!
