The Holy Temple

This book examines the meaning of the temple in the lives of Latter-day Saints. It explains the purpose of temple worship, the covenants and ordinances made within temple walls, and the symbolism that runs through the building and its ceremonies. Written for members who attend the temple and for those preparing to enter, it aims to help readers see the temple as a place of learning, reverence and personal commitment to God.
