I'm looking forward to the rest of this wonderful article about the gifts of the gospel - how appropriate for this time of year!

I think now many of us can see how we ourselves - when speaking about or teaching the Restored Gospel - focus more on the "wrapping" than the actual gifts. Thank you.

I love this article and can't wait for the remainder of it. Thank you so much for saving your letters and for sharing them.

This is one of the best things I've ever read.

Thank you so much for your article, it really adds to our ability to speak to others about what we believe! The restoration has a ring of truth all of its own. Great thoughts!

Wow! Richard Eyre has so beautifully articulated the basic doctrines of the Gospel of Jesus Christ... Is this collection of letters in book form or available anywhere yet? (I feel like it could be so helpful to those of us who have non-member/non- believing family and friends)

Thank you for this insightful and courageous explanation of the "bare bones' of our beliefs. Your honest, skillful description of our beliefs are the reason that I believe that our doctrine is too good not to be true.

Thank you ever so much for these articles with profound and well presented insights about our faith. As an adult convert, I was very much like your friend — desperately yearning for understanding the big picture inside the frame of this seemingly 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle! I once wrote a note to my sister who had recently taken her own life: “The Gift Unopened”. Like your efforts to (finally!) share the gifts of The Plan of Happiness, many choose to never even open the package. May your “gift” of writing and communicating deeply reach many who are ready to open and embrace the myriad of gifts from heaven, is my prayer.
