And yet another quote....
"Grasping the Lord's outstretched hand for help requires reaching into the unknown for the unseen. To assist the humble seeker of Christ to bridge that gap, the Lord provided the Book of Mormon. This book presents a series of dilemmas that are types of the troubles that men and women face in all dispensations: being lost, hungry, enslaved, in danger, or possessed by such painful emotions as anger, guilt, depression, and fear -- situations from which people need deliverance."
"Deliverance from such trouble is a major theme of the Book of Mormon. A computer count shows that the words derived from deliver occur more than two hundred times in the 531 pages of the Book of Mormon, signifying the importance of the principle. The reader repeatedly learns that God will provide some deliverance from trouble if he will but turn to Him. The book of Mormon speaks to all ages, and its principles apply to all people everywhere. No one can ever have a dilemma that the Lord cannot turn into some form of deliverance."
M. Catherine Thomas - Selected Writings p. 61
"...for they were in bondage and none could deliver them except it was the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob; and he surely did deliver them in their afflictions."
(Alma 36:2)

All amazing quotes. Please tell more about the author and how can I get some of her writings if possible. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Vonnie,
You can either get or order the book at the BYU Bookstore.
It is entitled M.Catherine Thomas - Selected Writings. It's one of the most insightful, uplifting books I have ever read. I am constantly re-reading these essays.
