Gethsemane
These are beautiful books--not quite as profound as Tad Callister's THE INFINITE ATONEMENT, perhaps, but so good and so thought-provoking. They're easily readable for non-scholars such as myself, but they're not fluff by any means. I'm so glad I read all three books and will most likely read them again from time to time.
How difficult it must have been to write a book about the Savior suffering for us in Gethsemane, which even through modern revelation, we know relatively little. It was a powerful, short read.
This book is awesome. I know it's not scripture but it gives some really good insights and stuff to think about and I really enjoyed it.
In an attempt to recognize The Lord in my life for the Christmas season and to acknowledge what His life means to me, I decided to read some non-fiction about what His life means, and I started with Gethsemane. This is a lovely, concise, clear book about what the purpose of His suffering means and why we suffer, "God will feel after you, and He will take hold of you and wrench your very heart strings, and if you can not stand it you will not be fit for an inheritance in the Celestial Kingdom of
This is an awesome book. I recommend it to every and anyone. Very insightful. I especially loved the section/information of the Mount of Olives and the symbolism of the olives.A must read!!
Andrew C. Skinner compiles a rich collection of information from Ancient Scripture and Modern Day prophets to paint a well charted exploration of the significance of the suffering Christ underwent in Gesthemane's garden. He examines the scope of the atonement's reach as well as the precursing practices to the Lord's great sacrifice. Although most of the content served as a good review, it did include some new insights for me. Of great interest to me was the segment discussing the symbolic links
Some really great concepts which I found worthy of spending extra time thinking about. However I found some other parts very tedious and often repetitive.On the other hand, it was a fairly quick read and helps us understand on a broader scope what actually Gethsemane is/was, and the part it played in Jesus' ministry and the Atonement. I think a lot of people don't understand how this fits in with the Atonement and could benefit from reading this book.

Representaion Conducive To Books Gethsemane
A friend recommended Skinner's books about the Savior's final week, and I found a copy on Ebay, with all three books compiled into one volume. Perfect! I've been reading them slowly, just a few pages per day, so that I could focus in depth (especially with certain sections) so it's taken my awhile to finish all three books. How fitting that I happened to finish the final book during this Easter week!These are beautiful books--not quite as profound as Tad Callister's THE INFINITE ATONEMENT, perhaps, but so good and so thought-provoking. They're easily readable for non-scholars such as myself, but they're not fluff by any means. I'm so glad I read all three books and will most likely read them again from time to time.

Read this a long time ago. The explanation about how olives are processed has stuck with me. Fairly quick read, but worth it from what I remember, it's been a while since I read it.How difficult it must have been to write a book about the Savior suffering for us in Gethsemane, which even through modern revelation, we know relatively little.
