The Infinite Atonement

"The Atonement is the central act of human history,

the pivotal point in all time, the doctrine of doctrines."

So begins the introduction to the book entitled

The Infinite Atonement

by Brother Tad R. Callister.

As a mission we have been studying the Atonement

and have begun a new Book of Mormon challenge, that of

reading to find all references about the Atonement.

Hardly a page goes by when one of the prophets

doesn't teach concerning this essential doctrine.

I have felt such a need to understand and use the Atonement

more fully in my life.

Brother Callister's book is wonderful in helping one to see

the "infinite nature of the Atonement."

He goes into detail concerning it's power, time, coverage, depth, suffering and love.

He also teaches of the blessings it brings to each of us, which include:

resurrection, repentance, peace of mind, succor, motivation,

exaltation, freedom and of course grace.

I have always felt a closeness to the Savior,

but now as I come to understand better what He accomplished

I indeed... "stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me."
