SKU: 747660 Five Temptation Killers

Hank Smith

Description

Freedom to choose is an essential part of our Heavenly Father's plan. Quoting from Dumbledore, Hank Smith reminds us that "it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. " Unfortunately, we don't always make the best choices. "We are all going to be tempted, and sometimes we might give in and fall," Brother Smith says, "but we don't have to. " Drawing on stories from the scriptures, real-life examples, and his trademark sense of humor, Brother Smith shares five powerful "temptation killers" that can help youth deal with the "opposition in all things" that is part of our earthly existence.
