Review

     The anticipation and excitement of receiving the Aaronic Priesthood and being ordained a deacon at age twelve dominates the thoughts of Latter-day Saint boys. Between the ages of twelve and ninteen, each young man makes many critical decisions—often daily—that will set the direction for his adult years in mortality and even into the eternities.

     In From Deacon to Man of God, author Rulon Dean Skinner offers timely advice gathered from decades of serving young men as a professional scouter and in many Church callings, including as a branch president at the MTC.

     He addresses such topics as the challenges of puberty, listening to and following the Spirit, repentance, forgiveness, and much more. Young men will fnd advice that will help them grow into prepared missionaries, good husbands, and wonderful fathers.
