Consider Yourself as Eve

The Proclamation on the Family affirms the eternal truths of gender and marriage between a man and a woman. We readily accept these realities. However we may yet to fully comprehend why these are so vital. Why is gender essential? Why is the pattern of marriage so important?

In this first-of-its-kind guide, “Consider Yourself as Eve” seeks to illuminate these doctrines by considering how we may live the temple’s template of spiritual development, especially as women. Along the way, we discuss many other questions, including: What specifically is the temple designed to teach us? What do the symbolic signs, laws, and tokens presented in the temple endowment ceremony represent in our everyday lives? How do we receive transformative grace through the atonement of Jesus Christ? What are the characteristics of feminine vs masculine spirit? What is the stewardess-ship of women complementary to the stewardship of men? How is embodying femininity key to our spiritual development as women?

With a heavy emphasis on scripture and illustrative personal experiences of the author, this book expounds deeper doctrines with the hope that all women will be empowered to pursue their own journey of developing in the pattern given by Jesus Christ. In doing so, they can sure to experience a richer understanding of who they are as daughters of God, a Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.
