Using an engaging, story telling style that inspired thousands of readers with the bestseller The Peacegiver, author James Ferrell has produced another modern-day parable that brings to life the importance of loving holy and sacred things in The Holy Secret (Deseret Book, $23.95, hardcover).
The Holy Secret is a story about Michael Nowak, a young family man who has carried a secret hidden in his heart. The secret surfaces when the realization of his true feelings is stirred by the comments of an elderly man that would become his mentor.
Considered a faithful tithe-paying, temple-recommend holding Latter-day Saint, Michael comes to learn that in spite of appearances, deep inside he knows he doesn’t love holiness.
The things the Lord has defined as holy—the Sabbath day, the temple, and the scriptures—have in truth become a little dull to him. This troubles him because he knows that if he does not yearn for holiness now he will not be prepared to experience it later.
Described as life changing by many readers, The Peacegiver teaches gospel principles through personal and practical means bringing us closer to Christ. The Holy Secret is written in this same style. It is thought-provoking and offers another perspective on principles and doctrines of the church.
The Holy Secret is available at Deseret Book and DeseretBook.com.
