REPENTANCE
Refinement Through the
Mortal Journey
Repentance is a common idea. Isn’t it simple to understand? I was taught about repentance when I was young. What more can there be other than, after doing something wrong, you tell God you’re sorry and don’t repeat the error?
Because of its supposed simplicity, perhaps you haven’t given much thought about what repentance means nor how you acquired your view of this fundamental principle.
Since God has declared that “all must repent”, it is wise for us to more thoroughly comprehend what God means when he says we must repent. A deeper dig into the principle of repentance can open up new vistas never before seen, new paradigms never before understood, and new directions never before known.

While reading, often I was compelled to slow down and consider more deeply what you were trying to express. Because I did, I felt the Spirit witness truth to me many times. Thanks for the wonderful insights.

I could really relate to your stories that shed a different light on familiar gospel principles. Reading your book helped me connect the dots for my own understanding of repentance.

I truly enjoyed it. Thank you for your hard work writing it. Five stars! I hope to remember and use the example you gave to differentiate between striving for excellence and perfectionism.
R. M.
This book is such a clear and enlightening read that clarifies a topic often overlooked and often assumed to be understood. We think we know what it means until we try to define it or explain it to others, or until we find we need it badly or realize we really need it every day. Thanks for your great efforts in creating this book that simplifies our understanding of, diminishes our fear of, and allows us to be warmly comfortable and confident with repentance as a key to obtaining the power and gifts of the Savior’s atonement. Your book helps me to understand that repentance is not a sentence for punishment that labels us as sinners. Repentance is a remedy for sin that allows us to draw closer to our Savior’s love. It’s not a check-listable event. It’s a lifetime process, a lifetime journey, and a daily supplement that as we partake, we will come to know how deeply Jesus loves us.

A Word From The Author
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” That line from the famous movie The Princess Bride was frequently on my mind while on this journey to better understand repentance.
We all have blind spots in our vision and our understanding. This book is my endeavor to expose my own blind spots and refresh my understanding of the repentance principle. I hope you will join me on this journey to find out what may need updating in your understanding.
