Which one is true? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAm I whole, acceptable, and precious? Or do I need repentance, greater worthiness, and continual sanctification? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn easy, familiar language, Paul Peterson explores how Latter-day Saints can live in full embrace of who they are while continually improving on the gospel path. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Paul Peterson is sensitive, wise, yet practical and playful in his approach to spiritual growth. For me, he represents some of the best emerging voices in the restored Gospel who are not willing to wait for the Kingdom to come. He sees, and teaches clearly, that the Kingdom starts here and now, from a Sacred Wholeness that energizes and animates all that we're meant to become.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003eThomas McConkie\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eAt-One-Ment: Embodying the Fullness of Human Divinity\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Paul Peterson's \u003ci\u003eAlways Whole\u003c\/i\u003e invites a subtle shift in perspective that can be dramatically liberating. Instead of the arduous slog of self-flagellation that feels so imperative, Peterson articulates how growth can be a surprisingly gentle and natural process when we understand that we are already whole. Navigating the dynamics of being and becoming, Peterson shows how these two states coexist not as competitors but as harmonious partners in the dance of life. His blend of personal anecdotes, professional insights, and spiritual wisdom forms a mosaic of encouragement that speaks to anyone seeking to live a more fulfilled and authentic life.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003eJared Warren\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Founder: My Best Self 101 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaul shows how Christ emulates the two dispositions of \u003ci\u003ebeing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ebecoming\u003c\/i\u003e to fulfill His divine mission. Through clinical insights and stories from his work as a therapist, Paul brings practical tips to everyday moments like work, marriage, and ward life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt its heart, this book invites each of us to enter the rest of the Lord now. We find that we can rest self-contentedly, cherishing all of reality exactly as it is, while engaging wholeheartedly in the messy realities of daily mortal life. From an inner wholeness, we can then take meaningful and appropriate action to improve any situation.
