In the Non-Fiction Corner: Lord How Is It Done?

In the Non-Fiction Corner With Lauren

The book Lord, How Is It Done? by Ken Gibson, features five principles that help readers see how grace can have more power in our lives. It was so thought-provoking.

In this book, there were quotes and scriptures I felt were especially for me. I had a spiritual “ah-ha” moment while reading this book that I haven’t had in quite a long time (outside of reading the scriptures, of course.)

Gibson is clearly inspired and has done a lot of preparation and study for this spectacular book. I particularly enjoyed his comparison to the story of Enos at the end of each chapter, and his personal stories that really hit the message home.

My favorite part of the book is when the author was talking about Christ’s atonement. He told the story of when his daughter had her car impounded and she was late for work. He drove down, paid for the car to be released, and told his daughter that he didn’t expect to be paid back because he knew she couldn’t afford it. He likened this to our relationship with our Savior, who gave us a gift that we can never pay back, nor does he expect us to. It truly is incredible that we have a loving Father in Heaven who wants to bless us and doesn’t expect much in return. He gives us tender mercies, prayer, covenants, and many other kinds of blessings to show how much He loves us, and Kent Gibson helped me to understand that a little bit better through his perspective in this book.

How can we make grace a greater enabling power in our lives and more fully participate in the Savior’s atoning gift? In Lord, How Is It Done?, author Ken Gibson introduces five principles to help readers confront the trials of mortality most of us feel ill-equipped to resolve because we simply don’t know the answer to this overarching question of how. The author draws upon Enos’s experience of asking, “Lord, how is it done?” and illustrates what it means to experience the Savior’s Atonement and lay claim to the promises of peace He has given. Readers are invited not just to come unto Christ but also to learn line upon line how it is done. The principles taught in this book are designed to illuminate the pathway to enduring peace and spiritual prosperity for all whose souls hunger.
