Thomas A. Whipple spent his last days penning One Lord, One Faith, a meticulously researched explanation of what Latter-day Saints believe about God's plan of salvation. In inclusive and clear language geared toward all readers-even those with little knowledge of Mormonism-Tom's book comprises two sections. Part 1 covers the basic questions we all ask about the nature of God the Father and his son, Jesus Christ. Part 2 offers Tom's perspective on God's plan of redemption for all people, from premortal existence to life on earth and to death and final judgment.
Dive in and get answers to questions about some of the most fascinating and life-giving doctrines of the Mormon faith:
- God's truth about scripture, revelation, salvation, immortality, and creation
- Premortal existence and life before birth
- The spirit and physical creations
- The Garden of Eden and the Fall
- Christ's conditions for salvation and exaltation
- Infinite atonement
- Postmortal Existence and the spirit world
- The resurrection

God's plan, while intricate and beautifully crafted, is ultimately simple and benevolent. He wants to bring you home to live with him forever. Rejoice with Tom as you take your place in God's redemptive plan for the universe.
