Visitor Sunde asked a question on the post “Why do Mormons believe in works?“, that I think deserves broader attention. It’s a very good question that many looking at the Mormon faith might ask. I thought I’d make a dedicated post out of it, allowing us to carry on the conversation in it’s own area. [...]

Hope – Is it an attribute of God?

Rusty Lindquist — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 18:25:13 +0000

In working on my book Escape Velocity, I’ve come to the chapter on Hope, and the vital role it plays in what I call “change endurance”. It was like stepping off a cliff. I had been moving right along, capturing the flow, the principles and practices an individual needs to employ for their change to [...]
