For the last decade, Fiona and Terryl Givens have brought to light wonderful and expansive doctrines in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ by drawing upon literature and other faith traditions. Their work helps Latter-day Saints appreciate the beauty of what we believe. On this week\u2019s episode, we talk with these scholars about many of their books, how those books are influenced by their life experiences, and how their studies have brought us greater appreciation for our faith tradition and the faith traditions of others.

\u201cIf something harrows the mind and constricts the heart, that I don\u2019t think is of God\u2014that is not of the Spirit. But if something\u2014an idea, a thought, a song, a book\u2014enlarges your mind and awakens your heart to joy then we can know that that is true.\u201d
