Testimony: Carefully Obtained and Carefully Maintained

A testimony is not a long explanation of how you know, but rather a witness of what you know. What exactly is a testimony? Few have ever stopped to consider the question in-depth. In meetings people often will share spiritual stories and show gratitude to those who have had an impact in their lives, but do these things constitute bearing a testimony? In his book, Testimony, Douglas J. Vermeeren discusses the concept of a testimony as it is most often manifest by members of the Church today, and gives valuable insight into what a testimony actually is. He broaches important issues commonly encountered in connection with growing a testimony and helps the reader to better understand them. Using the words of our modern prophets and apostles as support, Vermeeren guides the reader toward discovering what a testimony truly is and developing a strong testimony of the restored gospel. He also shares thoughts and insights on the worth of a testimony and why it is important for each and every person to develop their own powerful testimony. If you have ever felt the need for something more, this book will be a valuable resource to you in your pursuit to obtain and maintain a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
