Elder Jeremiah J. Morgan
The Infinite Power of God in Our Covenants
Seventy
In brief
Elder Morgan grew up in another church that also believes in the Book of Mormon, where his single mother read it to him daily. As a teenager he secretly attended Latter-day Saint meetings and gained a testimony; years later his wife identified the reason: "It was covenants," made by his Nauvoo ancestors. He teaches that covenants are generational and have no time limit, and assures parents of wandering children that no one has traveled beyond the reach of God's love.
