Heart of the Matter

De: Russell M. Nelson

Narrado por: Bruce Lindsay

“The laws or truths I will share in this book are not merely ideas I have studied and examined; they are the very essence of my life’s experiences.” —President Russell M. Nelson

It is a rare opportunity to learn from the wisdom of one who has witnessed a century of life, including all of its joys, sorrows, changes, and unchanging truths. It is even rarer to have such a witness from a prophet of God. Having been first called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1984, President Russell M. Nelson has viewed much of the world’s modern history through the lens of a special witness of Christ. Living through technological innovation from radio to rocket ships, wars and resolutions, cultural shifts and progress, President Nelson has seen the workings of the Almighty in all aspects of life. In Heart of the Matter, he reflects back on his one hundred years of living and the lessons he’s learned over the past century, including the core truths he has come to know matter most for this life and the next.

President Nelson proclaims: “Through the ups and downs, the joys and heartaches, of a century of living, there is nothing of which I am more certain than that Heavenly Father is our Father, that His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, is our Savior and Redeemer, and that the Holy Ghost can be your constant companion, whispering truths to your soul. I am certain that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored in its fullness and is filled with the Savior’s power to bless you in ways no one else and nothing else can.” The testimony of a beloved prophet and a hundred years of experience and insight come together to assure us that because Jesus Christ overcame this world, we too can overcome all things and find peace and rest in Him.

Outstanding

I loved the whole message of a loving, kind, wise, all knowing God who knows and loves usindividuallly and collectively.

Excellent book

A must listen for anyone looking to follow Jesus Christ and have a meaningful life based on his teachings.

The prophet’s many life experiences I did not know about.

Wonderful spiritual read. If any one wanted to know if Brother Nelson was a prophet, read this book.

The abundance of helpful information.

I feel like the information in this book will help me to improve the quality of my life.

Great book

This book had lots of good life lessons. I also enjoyed the many testimonies given. My favorite chapter was the one on Women in the church.

Easy read, profound, uplifting.

I'm sure this book could have been incredibly long; a 100 years of life, but this is more than a "highlight reel"... it's advice, things I wish I knew sooner... actually some of it are things I knew, but didn't realize knowing was a gift until he shared his prospective. Left me feeling more empowered and hopeful.

100 years of Spiritual knowledge!

President Nelson is a Prophet of God! This book encapsulates his life of service to Jesus Christ and to his fellow man.

Amazing words of guidance

Such an inspiring person and words of counsel for todays world. Whether LDS or not, Russell M Nelson is a great man and leader and his faith and devotion are a living testimony of Christ and his love for all of God’s Children.

Gospel Covenants and Following Them

Wow! What a phenomenal book. I’ve been a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for a little over 2 years now and my gosh was listening to this book and the words of our Prophet just testimony building. I would recommend this book to any and everyone either a member already or someone who would like to learn about the savior Jesus Christ. This book teaches the principles, doctrine, covenants, heart, and mind of a true Disciple of Christ. Absolutely phenomenal.

President Nelson, so kind, so loving.

What a beautiful way of expressing the ‘why’ in a few scenarios. The topics spoken in General Conference, that Latter Day Saints might question after hearing such guidance.
