If home teaching is a divine calling, why do I feel so negative about it?Home Teaching with Purpose and Power, in story form, gives powerful answers to this question— and many more. It is the first book ever published that is entirely about home teaching, and it includes a wealth of examples and ideas about how to achieve excellence in that calling. Home teaching is the core program of the priesthood. As President Ezra Taft Benson has declared, "There is no greater Church calling than that of a home teacher."Highlighted with key statements of latter-day prophets and the Lord's foundation scriptures, this book clearly delineates the purpose and power of home teaching. It will appeal to the least or most motivated home teacher.The book includes:• Eight ways to improve your listening skills• The ten governing rules for home teachers• Seven things home teachers should (usually) never do.• Six key scriptures that define the seventeen duties of home teachers.• The thirteen fundamental responsibilities of home teachers.• 112 considerations for concerned home teachers.• Eight ways to support your Aaronic Priesthood companion.Told with humor and warmth, this stimulating narrative places home teaching's historic perspective into a contemporary setting. Any home teacher in the worldwide Church can identify with the problems and solutions presented here. The book tells not only why but also how to be an effective latter-day home teacher.
