Becoming Like God: The Purpose of Our Eternal Progression (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500718923)

The objective of Becoming Like God: The Purpose of Our Progression, is to deepen readers' understanding of and appreciations for the doctrine of divine potential. This book is divided into three parts. Part I describes the teachings regarding our divine potential and why this doctrine matters. The author begins by sharing doctrine to help illustrate our divine heritage and potential. This doctrine was lost after the death of Christ's apostles, but was once again restored to the earth in our day through a prophet. The author shares how believing this doctrine can help improve our outlook on our lives. Part II discusses how this miraculous transformation can occur through faith, repentance, the priesthood, and through having experiences with family and chastening. We are all children of our Heavenly Father and this book shares His plan for our eternal growth. This section shares the role Jesus Christ plays in us becoming like our Heavenly Father and how we can take full advantage of the Savior's Atonement. The author expounds upon the role of priesthood ordinances in becoming pure and clean through the Atonement of Christ. Part III details several common ways that Satan attempts to derail our chance to become like God, including discouragement, wealth, a scarcity mindset, and the mirage of sexual pleasure. This section shares helpful ways to overcome these obstacles that stand in our way of knowing and working towards eternal life. The author shares quotes from current and past church leaders, scriptures, and personal experiences to help guide readers to confidently pursue their course to become like God.
