In the introduction of her new book and Endowment of Love, Melinda Wilwright-Brown

writes, what I've discovered for myself is that

approaching the temple with my eyes, ears, heart and mind, focused on Christ's covenant way

of living and loving, has changed how I approach my life. Temple worship has become more than an occasional

opportunity to recalibrate my eternal perspective amid mortality's messy

middle.

It also creates space to practice the eternal principles of divine relationships that

are gradually transforming me and my earthly relationships with those I love.

This has been my experience with the temple.

It was not until I desperately needed the

temple in the here and now that it became transformative for me. President Russell and Nelson

has said, when you reach up for the Lord's power in your life with the same intensity that a drowning

person has when grasping and gasping for air, power from Jesus Christ

will be yours. I believe that there is no place on earth where this is more true than in the

temple. Melinda Wilwright Brown is an author and educator. She has a master's degree in Christian

practice from Duke Divinity School with an emphasis

in Christian education. She previously authored Eve and Adam discovering the beautiful balance.
