Seeking the Spirit Book

What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly. It is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods. -Thomas Paine. The Spirit of the Lord is an essential and identifying feature of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Without it, one cannot have a true testimony of the gospel and its saving ordinances. It is essential for every person to know where and how to seek the Spirit, to receive through the Holy Ghost confirmation of gospel truths and personal decisions. Seeking the Spirit can help in the search. It offers suggestions on how to be worthy of the Spirit, how to recognize its promptings, and how to act on those promptings. "Two assumptions underlie all that is found within the covers of this book," says author Joseph Fielding McConkie. "First, that we can know the reality of God; and second, that to some degree we already know of that reality even though our present awareness may be very dim." Seeking the Spirit is an invaluable aid in awakening this knowledge.
