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.

Absolutely Wonderful

This holy prophet produced such a wonderful work that brings me closer to my Savior, even closer to Jesus Christ.

A masterpiece in gaining a testimony of Jesus!

This book has so many wonderful new insights as well as familiar and beloved teachings from President Nelson‘s general conference talks. I loved it for both reasons!

the spirit I felt throughout.

Loved it all. Recommend it to everyone. Just sent it to a dear friend who's coming back to the church.

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.

Written by a Prophet of God — like unto Moses

Whether you choose to read this because you are opening yourself to the wisdom of a man who has 100+ years of experience in life, or because you recognize Russell M. Nelson as a prophet of God — this book contains valuable wisdom.

The principles in it are correct. Valuable insights will come as you apply them in your life and discuss them with those around you.

Thank you for making this available on Audible.

I am a gay man, yes. Hearing him speak specifically to how we should be treated when coming out has been tender and meaningful for me — thank you.

Most importantly, I am a child of God and felt respected as such when reading this. It has been put on my current list of favorite books — HIGHLY recommend it. Very relevant to our day and the direction of joy.

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.

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.

delightful read

this was a great read about President Nelson and his 100 years of life. there's nothing new here if you have been following his conference talks. but it's nice to see all this at once.

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.
