...11) The holy secret
Many today carry a secret: We do not love what we have been commanded to love. We do not love what is holy. Although we might reverence things that are deemed holy— the temple, for example, and the scriptures, and the Sabbath— we do not love them. Not really. Not with our whole souls. The Holy Secret is the story of a man who learns how to love what matters. As he does, he learns another secret: Love for holiness transforms life itself.

In Act in Doctrine, Elder David A. Bednar shares key insights to help close the gap between what we know and how we act. "The essential first step in reducing
...The Prophet Joseph Smith said, "The book of Revelation is one of the plainest books God ever caused to be written." Why, then, do so many people consider it to be so difficult?
