It was mentioned as a book containing commentary on the New Testament, including Elder Holland's thoughts on the significance of women in the Lord's church.
The Apostle Paul taught that the inspired concept that neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord. Just 1 Corinthians 11.11.
I know the truth of that in my own life. No prophet, no apostle, no president of the church, no mission president, no bishop, no deacon's quorum advisor, no scout master, no seminary teacher, no one in all this world has taught me what Sister Holland has taught me.

It was discussed in the context of Elder Holland's teachings on the body being an essential part of the soul, and how sexual sin is serious because it abuses the soul and mocks the Atonement of Christ.
In Elder Holland's book, Our Day Star Rising, which has already been, I think Camille Frankelson introduced it really well, which I need to say she was one of my seminary teachers in high school.
He said this Latter-day Saint doctrine underscores why sexual sin is so serious. We declare that one who uses the God-given body of another without divine sanction abuses the very soul of that individual.
In exploiting the body of another, which means exploiting his or her soul, one desecrates the atonement of Christ, which saved that soul and which makes possible the gift of eternal life.
And when one mocks the son of righteousness, one steps into a realm of heat hotter and holier than the noonday sun. You cannot do so and not be burned.
Please never say, who does it hurt? Why not a little freedom? I can transgress now and repent later. Please don't be so foolish and so cruel.

It was mentioned as a new book, published that year, that accompanied the study of the New Testament. A small section was read from it, related to the atonement of Jesus Christ.
I don't know how many of you have been able to read Elder Holland's Our Day Star Rising along with your study of the New Testament.
It's a new book published just this year to accompany our, I mean if you wanted to, to accompany your study of the New Testament.
It's parts of his talks where he has spoken about different verses in the New Testament and it's arranged in the order of the New Testament.
Every ordinance of the gospel focuses in one way or another on the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, and surely that is why this particular ordinance with all its symbolism and imagery comes to us more readily and more repeatedly than any other in our life.
