Product Description
Because the LDS presence is spreading and being felt throughout the world in both economic and political venues that affect all facets of human life, the purpose of this book is to reveal to the world at large, and most significantly to the LDS people themselves, the exact meaning of the endowment, and to unfold all of the mysteries and hidden symbolism that pertain to it. In so doing, the non-LDS mind will come to an understanding of its extraordinary beauty, wonder, and glorious message. But more significantly, through its exceptional clarity and plainness, this profound and original explanation will allow the LDS people the opportunity to become aware of exactly what they are symbolically doing when performing the endowment. This insight will help them gain a better eternal perspective and understanding of the hidden mysteries of God they do not yet understand. In being made aware of its true purpose and intent, LDS members and their leaders might come to acknowledge the insignificance of this ordinance with regard to the salvation of a soul, and at the same time, reveal to all people its paramount significance in teaching the mysteries of the plan of our mutual Creator. The beauty of the temple endowment is that it is meant for everyone upon earth regardless of gender, race, or religious creed.

 Families are Forever is not a truth November 12, 2008
The clarity of a Mormon fundamental principle that families are forever rang as untrue to me. What happens when a woman leaves her family and goes to her husband's? What about children that were born to the same father but to a different mother? What about the family in heaven? Do they just sit around in a big family home evening--no wait that can't be possible because all the children have gotten married (supposedly) and are with their mates--but then it all gets really clouded. Who goes where? What about women (or men) in a second marriage they find happier than the one that was "sealed in the temple?" The questions could go on and on.
This book clarifies the endowment, the "sealing" and the real interaction of God with his children. A must read for Mormon and non-Mormon alike to answer the question, "Where is God and how does He interact with me?"
Excellent interpretation September 21, 2008

The first time I attended the LDS Temple was at age 24 and have been a regular attendee until Jan 2008. I completed reading the Sacred not Secret book on the LDS temple endowment and for the first time since joining the faith in 1976 it finally makes sense to me. Christopher, has done an excellent job of presenting the endowment in an easy to understand presentation which makes perfect sense to those who are sincerely trying to understand this mystery and who are genuinely interested in truth.
For all those LDS members out there, now you will finally understand the "university of God". And for the curious, be prepared to have your eyes opened and your understanding quickened.
Its an excellent work and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Have ordered the book because it must be good if the Mormons like Miller are so quick to denounce it.
 Waste of money May 17, 2008

Don't waste your time or money on this piece of propaganda. The author is a man who claims to have translated the sealed portion of the gold plates. To say he is off his rocker would be an understatement. He depends in large part upon his "translation" of the gold plates for his interpretations and views in this whacked piece of rubbish.
