Rise, with Healing in Our Wings: Extraordinary Stories from the Life of an Ordinary Mormon with 20 Poems - Paperback

by Paul H. Schneiter (Author)

Rise, with Healing in Our Wings The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is mysterious to those outside of it, and fulfilling and often challenging to those within it. With Rise, with Healing in Our Wings, author and longtime LDS member Paul H. Schneiter lifts the veil with a reaffirming, touching glimpse inside the life. Living LDS standards with true devotion is a 24/7 proposition: The average church member attends three hours of church on Sundays (sometimes with meetings during the week), shuns R-rated movies and media that conflict with their values, dedicates 10 percent of their income to the church, participates in fasts, and more. The mission of this book is to foster in you a stronger sense of faith and a firmer resolve to live within the challenges of the LDS lifestyle. Rise, with Healing in Our Wings offers readers a collection of true stories and poems aimed at providing a straightforward, unvarnished account of life in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
