James E. Faust

James E. Faust

James E. Faust
Into every life there come the painful, despairing days of adversity and buffeting.

In this way the soul can become like soft clay in the hands of the Master.
James E. Faust

James E. Faust
What are we doing to keep the light shining in our own eyes and countenances Much of that light comes from our discipline dedication and consecration.
