Summary
I started writing The Continuous Atonement when I was serving as the bishop of a young single adult ward…. I realized that there was an aspect of the Atonement they didn't get. They knew about how the Atonement could cleanse and console us, but they didn't grasp how it can transform us and how Christ offers us His enabling power however long that transformation process takes--even continuously. This book picks up that same theme and answers the question, "How?" "How do I apply the Atonement and feel it's transforming power on a continuous basis?" True conversion is not a onetime event, but a process that takes time. Most people accept that in theory, but we still beat ourselves up when we fall short. My message is "Be patient. You are doing better than you realize. Hang in there!" We are not paying our way into heaven. We're practicing for it!

Review
A wonderful reminder that conversion is a life-long process...not a one-time event. Easy to read but very thought-provoking. I particularly loved the last chapter about juggling our different responsibilities in life.
Favorite quote
"Satan doesn't win when he can get us to cross the line but when he convinces us that there is no way back."
