Symbols are everywhere, and they are the most effective tool God uses to teach us about Himself, His plan for us, and our potential. Symbols are amazing in how they can be used on many different levels. This book helped me to expand my understanding on many of the symbols found in the gospel.
Really opened up the language of symbolism for me. It has a lot of great examples, as well. It was less successful at allowing me to see and understand symbols than I would have liked, but that may have been a personal failing on my part.
This is an interesting book with a great array of symbolism examples and explanations from the Bible, Book of Mormon, Church History and more. I only gave it a 2 stars because most of the examples were ones I have already heard of and the reading started to drag so I ended up skimming it. Maybe if I tried reading it during a different season, instead of the summer, I could have stuck to it...?
Helpful in understanding scriptures and temple.
Made me appreciation the Old Testament much more.
This book what not what I expected. Nevertheless, it is well written and I read much of it. It was mostly about the symbolism derived from the history of the house of Israel rather than the symbolism inherent in water, earth, wind and fire.
I like to read through parts of this one when studing a topic. It's not a book you can really sit down and read cover to cover. But has taught me and reminded me of some neat things.
A comprehensive look at symbols used in the scriptures...how they are used and what they mean. This is a most useful book when studying the scriptures...especially the Old Testament.
The gospel is all about symbolism and this is a great book to be able to help you recognize the symbolism in all you study about the gospel.
A very nice read on gospel symbols which might take a person like me to get even a partial understanding of without this book.
Gave me a new way to look at the Holy books I will need to retread again and again.
Profound, inspiring, incredible and intelligent.
Sunday school at its greatest on your living room couch!
This book changed my life. Amazing.
I love this book.
