Four volumes of scripture teach us that reaching toward Christ's kind of love will make it possible to know Him. The ideal of that love is found in committed righteous family life. Married or single in this life, we can choose to be in the family of Christ. How we can manifest that loving commitment is outlined in "The Family: A Proclamation to the World." It is in the acceptance of our roles in the plan of salvation –God-defined and God-given. In these days of confusion about what comes first in our lives, we are apt to lose sight of that precious goal to know and love Christ. In this book Ester Rasband examines some of the barriers to our willingness to put that knowledge and that love first. She bears testimony of the sweetness when we get a glimpse of the blessings that come with that knowledge. It woudl be unrealistic to believe that the joy of Christlike love can be had without self-sacrifice, but this author clearly believes it is worth it. She has written a plea to both men and women that they choose to embrace their roles in the plan of salvation. It will be choosing the joy of knowing Christ.
Ester was born in Seattle, the tenth child of immigrant convert parents. Her education includes a B.A. in English from Brigham Young University and graduate work in Ancient Near Eastern Studies. She has served two missions with her husband: the first when he presided in the Canada Montreal Mission from 1987-1990, and the second when he served as second counselor in the presidency of the Provo Missionary Training Center from 1996-1998. She is the author of eight published books and has written for the Ensign and other publications. Her work has been featured with Cedar Fort and Deseret Book. Her husband is James Edwin Rasband, a retired radiologist and they have two sons and seven grandchildren.
