Magnifying Priesthood Power

Robert L. Millet, Springville, Utah: Cedar Fort/Horizon Publishers, 1974, 2004, 6x9" softbound, 185 pages.

This book is reverently inspirational, highly motivational, and penetrating in its depth and research. It is tremendous in its potential to shape lives for good.

Magnifying Priesthood Power explains the many aspects of priesthood power and authority, then examines the ways in which Latter-day Saints can utilize the full potential of the priesthood in their lives. It is carefully researched and brings together a wealth of information from the scriptures and from LDS Curch history.

This must-have guide considers the nature of earthly and heavenly powers, many aspects of the oath and covenant of the priesthood, the relationship of foreordination to mortal priesthood callings, and the ways in which one can "magnify" priesthood callings. It also discusses how one should receive the Lord's servants and how to grow in the principle of revelation. This book is an inspirational resource for priesthood holders.
