Holy Covenants

Living Our Sacred Temple Promises

By: Anthony Sweat

Narrated by: Anthony Sweat

On the outside of the Salt Lake Temple is a carving of two people shaking hands, symbolizing the temple as a place where we make sacred covenants with God. But what are those holy promises, and what do they have to do with becoming endowed with spiritual power in our everyday lives? In The Holy Covenants, religion professor Anthony Sweat helps us better understand the major covenants of the temple endowment as a pattern of divine living. He explains with clarity and perspective how the temple presentation, clothing, garment, ordinances, and covenants invite us to become part of a holy order, patterned after the Son of God. As we understand and live our holy temple covenants, we can gain spiritual capacity, become endowed with heavenly power, and progress toward our divine potential as “priests and kings [and queens and priestesses], who have received of his fulness” (D&C 76:56).

Clarity

The doctrines of eternal life are explained in a clear, beautiful way. Even after 30+ years of being endowed I am still learning about this gift. This book was instrumental in opening new levels of understanding and appreciation as I listened.

Thank you!

A very moving and informative book. Thank you Anthony. I learned a great deal. I had a couple paradigm shifts.

Finally!

I have been waiting for a book that unabashedly talks about the Endowment. And Brother Sweat does exactly that!

SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE

Loved the simpleness. It makes it pure doctrine, no iffy or confusion. Just simply taught.

The clarity!

I felt closer to Jesus Christ! I understood my temple covenants better! I am grateful for Anthony’s insights!
