In one of the most exhaustive, scripture based presentations on the Atonement, respected gospel scholar W. Cleon Skousen opens our understanding of the majesty and breadth of Jesus' sacrifice and how we can apply the principles of the Atonement in our lives.
As stated by Elder Bruce R. McConkie, "The doctrine of the Atonement embraces, sustains, supports, and gives life and force to all other gospel doctrines. It is the foundation upon which all truth rests..."
So what is the meaning of the Atonement? And why is the Atonement even necessary?
At the young age of 17, Brother Skousen embarks on his mission to England with these questions in mind. With the guidance of his mission president, Apostle John A. Widtsoe, and after decades of scriptural study, he discovers the answers to these profound questions.
Presented in a simple and beautiful manner, Dr. Skousen lays out the findings of his lifelong search in this popular address given at a mission conference in Dallas, Texas. He presents the answers to the Meaning of the Atonement, why it is necessary, the source of God's power and the key to understanding how the Atonement can become a reality in your own personal life and why it is so vital to your personal salvation and exaltation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
