The Broken Heart:“Both as a publisher and from personal experience, I recommend this revised edition to anyone who is seeking to better understand the scope and personal impact of the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.” — Sheri DewThis book considers the role of the Lord's saving grace in the mortal experience. Comprising collected essays, Bruce Hafen writes of the important doctrine of the Atonement. A bestseller in hardback, The Broken Heart will encourage, uplift, and inspire.The Believing Heart:The four essays in The Believing Heart offer fresh insights into the principle of faith.Using true experiences and scriptural illustrations, Bruce C. Hafen shows the pattern of how faith grows The author recognizes the problems in developing faith and the questions that obscure it: What is the purpose of agency? Why does a veil separate us from God? How can we bridge the gap between the real and the ideal? Addressing these questions and others, the author offers compelling arguements for the principle and practice of faith in the modern world.The Belonging Heart:The Belonging Heart explores what it means to feel at one with our Father in Heaven, with Christ and his cause, and with our family and friends. This book's theme deals with how the Atonement helps us build our relationships with the Lord and with others, especially family members. As we accept the Atonement, the Lord blesses us with a belonging heart. When we commit our lives to God, we show that commitment by how we give our lives, a day at a time for the benefit of those we love by how fully we let ourselves belong to them. The authors explain, “In this kind of life, a full life of gracious connections with God and with other people, we may find where we really belong — for what we really were made.” This thought-provoking book helps us learn to gain the fullness of mortality by “always abounding in good works. . . [that] Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal [us] his.” (Mosiah 5:15.)Covenant Hearts:Many books claim to offer the secrets of a good marriage, but this book offers the absolute truth. Satan is ever striving to blur and contort the truth; modern society is experiencing a shifting toward a culture of divorce. In a way that no other book has, this book provides an eternal perspective about marriage. Noting that marriage can be the most sanctifying — yet the most demanding -- experience of our lives, Elder Hafen observes that marriage is "the home room of the earth school our Father created to give his children a place to learn and grow. Families are the laboratories where we test and develop our religion." See through the confusion in our society and create an environment in which human love overcomes all opposition and lasts forever.
