This thought-provoking book is designed to help you plumb the depths of your personal integrity, your love of the Lord, and your allegiance to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. It has been carefully organized into 52 areas of personal gospel activity, and provides hundreds of challenging ways to help you draw nearer to our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember back to when you were a child playing the game of "truth or dare" with your friends. Do you remember the courage it took to honestly answer the question or to accept the dare? Your answers and actions were sometimes embarrassing, painful, frustrating, and even funny. It takes courage to play the game of "truth or dare," and it takes even greater courage to accept the challenges put forth in this book.
In each set of pages you are presented with a truth and a dare. If you select truth, you are asked to prayerfully search your soul for what you truly believe and answer the question honestly. If you select dare, you are challenged to put a gospel principle into action. To deepen the process, each truth and dare is presented with a short essay on the topic, filled with stories and quotes from the scriptures, prophets, apostles, general authorities and other sources.
Every change in your behavior begins as a thought before it is translated into action—thus becoming a part of your life. Truth or Dare guides you through the process of finding truth, and dares you to make your life a testament of what you say you believe. By emphasizing the combination of thought with action, coupled with mini-talks containing scriptures and counsel from the prophets and other great leaders, the book delivers a powerful guide for spiritual progress.
We all are looking for ways to become more in tune with the Spirit and to live a life worthy of entering into our Heavenly Father's presence. Using these spiritual principles to get in touch with your thoughts and connect them to your actions will result in a life filled with joy.
Truth or Dare—Do You Have the Courage to Change Your Life?
