What can we expect now that we are in the midst of the last days? What events are prophesied to occur? And how can we prepare ourselves — both physically and spiritually — to survive this tumultuous, exciting time? In Spiritual Survival in the Last Days, authors Blaine and Brenton Yorgason explore statements made by modern prophets concerning the last days. They examine what judgments, disasters, and chastisements we can expect. They then explore how to survive these things by standing in holy places — developing our personal testimonies, repenting, attending the temple, seeking personal revelation, and spiritually unifying our families.

They emphasize the importance of following the Lord's living prophets in such matters as food storage, getting out of debt, keeping the Word of Wisdom, and staying sexually pure. "If," the Yorgasons conclude, "as individuals or as a people, we are striving to obtain the Spirit [by] making sincere efforts at repentance and a closer walk with God, then we will be able to survive spiritually during the calamities and glories of the last days."
