To Man From God, Vol. 1: Holy Spirit Inspired Prayers, Poems, Lyrics, and Raps (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983579908)

Family, friends, and community surround the authors of this book, W. Monson and M. Monson, mother and daughter. Without these strong influences of other people in their lives, this book would not have been written. W. Monson, at 85 years of age, still attends church at every opportunity. She kneels nightly at the side of her bed to pray for others with a caring heart. She rises in the morning to read the Bible with devotional books and prayer concerns. W. Monson carries a rapt-glow of the Holy Spirit when she speaks about Jesus, which she does anytime, anywhere, and to anyone who might need a kind word or a prayer. W. Monson grew up on a farm in North Dakota during the Great Depression. It is because she came to know the Savior, Jesus Christ, through other people witnessing to her that she witnesses to others. She hopes and prays that they, too, can have faith to realize what it is to know a savior who will actually save their souls from death. This faith will give them an eternal life with a God of love. Her mother planted the seed of faith in the heart of M. Monson at the time she was a small child. M. Monson did not always spend her life on a saintly path. She has returned to the Lord from worldly experiences. Not unscathed, but determined to constantly seek a deeper trust in God, M. Monson has committed her life to studying God's Word, attending church, and listening to the sermons and teachings of the Christian ministry. Her mother's writings and her own are presented with spiritual expression and love.
