I just found out about this a moment ago, but a current ordinance worker at the Mount Timpanogos Temple, Cory B. Jensen, has authored a book with insights for those who are preparing to go to the temple for the first time to receive their own endowments (this is the correct terminology; Church members don't go to the temple to "take out" their endowments: they are receiving them).
I wish there had been such a book when I was preparing to go to the temple. That said, the kindness, compassion, patience and concern I saw from the temple workers who helped me when I received my endowments put me at ease and convinced me of the rightness of the decision I had made that part of my part-time missionary service would involve being a temple worker. But this volume will be a wonderful edition to the library of anyone preparing to go to the temple to receive their own endowments.
To read more about that book, and to find a link detailing where to purchase that book, click here. What a remarkable time we live in where the Lord is inspiring such great literary works that are needed today. Thanks for letting me share this news. Hope you will all enjoy this article. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Breaking Temple News: New Book Provides Insight for Those Preparing for Temple Endowment
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.
At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.
I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.
And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.
Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
