Grant
Palmer closed his thirty-four-year career
teaching for the LDS Church Educational
System with the final thirteen years as a
chaplain and the LDS Institute director at
the Salt Lake County Jail. Distilled from
his personal and teaching experiences, this
tender testament to the incomparable Jesus
describes a Savior who walked the halls with
him, succoring those in need.
In this
slim volume, Palmer sensitively shares his
understanding of what it means to know Jesus
by doing his works. He lists the qualities
of divine character attested to by the
Apostles Peter and Paul, and also those that
Jesus revealed about himself in his
masterful Sermon on the Mount, particularly
in the beatitudes.
With
reverence Palmer shares personal spiritual
experiences that were life-changing
assurances of Jesus's love for him--a love
poured out unstintingly in equally
life-changing blessings on prisoners whose
crimes have not stopped short of sexual
abuse and murder. Reading this book offers
deeper understanding of the Savior's mercy,
a stronger sense of his love, and a deeper
commitment to follow him.
