Sheri Du wrote this book called Prophets Can See Around Corners and did a talk at BYU Hawaii called Prophets Can See Around Corners. Coming from her perspective, who has written the biographies of President Hinckley and President Benson, it's really fun to hear her testimony of living prophets. We all know as teachers how hard it is to come up with a really good question. She has a series of questions in here. Question number two in her book, is there anyone you would trust to give you better, more inspired advice, meaning counsel unaffected by personal agenda than members of the first presidency and quorum of the 12 apostles?

Sheri Dew's book Prophets Can See Around Corners was mentioned as a modern application of the question of what are you going to do with prophets?
Sheri Du wrote this book called Prophets Can See Around Corners and did a talk at BYU Hawaii called Prophets Can See Around Corners.
She has a series of questions in here. Question number two in her book, is there anyone you would trust to give you better, more inspired advice, meaning counsel unaffected by personal agenda than members of the first presidency and quorum of the 12 apostles?
I have my preferred authors, Sherry continues, commentators, and experts. I cannot think of anyone I would listen to instead or ahead of the living prophet and the 14 other men ordained as prophets, seers, and revelators.
I love the question, if they really are watchmen on a tower, if they can really see things we cannot, who would you rather have in charge? Who would you rather take advice from?
Episode: A Warm Heart in the Cold War • followHIM Favorites...
This book contains a story about Elder Ezra Taft Benson's visit to a church in Moscow during the Cold War, highlighting his testimony of Jesus Christ and the profound impact it had on those present. The anecdote emphasizes the enduring power of faith and the long-lasting effects of apostolic testimonies.
This starts on page 84. In 1959, Elder Ezra Taft Benson, then a member of the 12, was serving simultaneously in U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's cabinet as secretary of agriculture.
In that capacity, he undertook a trip to Moscow at the height of the Cold War. Think not Russia, think Soviet Union.
Our Heavenly Father is not far away, he promised. He is our Father. Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of the world, watches over this earth. Be unafraid. Keep his commandments. Love one another. Pray for peace and all will be well.
I believe very firmly in prayer, he said. I know that it is possible to reach out and tap that unseen power which gives us strength in time of need.
I leave you my witness as a church servant for many years that truth will endure. Time is on the side of truth. God bless you and keep you all the days of your life.
