Sacred Symbols: Finding Meaning in Rites, Rituals and Ordinances

By: Alonzo L. Gaskill

Narrated by: Alonzo L. Gaskill

By divine design, rites, rituals, and ordinances are filled with symbolic meaning intended to help us better understand God’s Plan. If we do not understand the symbols, we cannot fully understand our covenants. In this new book, author Alonzo L. Gaskill presents divers ancient and modern rituals which are illustrative of symbols and practices Latter-day Saints may recognize. The ordinances of the Gospel are both the vehicle by which we make covenants and also a means by which God seeks to teach us. This truly unique book will guide you to a richer understanding of, and appreciation for, what you hold sacred.

Loved it

Fascinating read and a deep dive into much symbolism we overlook in our modern society. We have lost much of the

I learned so much!

I’m not in favor of authors reading their own books, but Gaskill does a pretty good job. The thing that really bugged me was all the “quote” “end quote” things. He did his best to minimize the distraction, but there for a while my skin was crawling! However the content overcame the discomfort. I can’t wait to get to the temple and look for all these symbols and more. It is a fascinating subject!

Loved this book!

The book was read just a bit fast but great information! I highly recommend this book.

Explained so much I had been curious about.

I really appreciated this book. I had been curious about the symbols in religious rites for some time and found this very enlightening. I’m going to recommend it to my family and friends.

Deep Outside Examples

If a picture is worth a thousand words, symbols raise that thousand to a million!

Well researched and excellent documentation!
