Recommended reading for mature LDS students

Very inspiring and simple to understand. Has the additional advantage of being a fast reading. It is a beautiful doctrine which simply explains how the blessings of the Atonement can save and exalt puny little people like me.

Wonderful book on the true nature and reason for Faith, Hope and Charity

I have read this book through 2 or 3 times. It will probably take a few more readings to understand it fully. These doctrines are sublime. If you have noticed the grouping of "Faith, Hope and Charity" in scripture, but have not really understood why these words are found together, then this book is for you. Faith, Hope and Charity do something very very specific. They lead us unto an audience with Jesus Christ. A face-to-face meeting with the resurrected Lord Himself. Faith is more than just belief, but obedience based upon a true and accurate understanding of the Godhead and our real relationship with them. Obedience under that context breeds Hope. Hope because we realize that His promises are real, and since His promises are real, and are for EVERY Saint, then an audience with Him IS possible, just as the brother of Jared experienced in Ether 3. Charity flows from that Faith and Hope in Christ. Charity is bestowed as a gift from God, and constitutes an actual knowledge that our efforts to bless and lift others is actually helping them in exactly the way God would have it be done. Charity is the PURE (ACTUAL) Love of Christ. Doing what He would actually do if he were standing in your place. Once possessed of these attributes we can seek and expect to obtain an audience with the Lord Jesus Christ. Having been found willing to sacrifice all things, we obtain an audience with the God of All Things.
