Joe Evans, a late convert to the Church, examines the Apostle Paul's famous discourse on charity in 1 Corinthians 13 and argues that charity is more than kind deeds—it demands pure motives aligned with the two great commandments. Weaving scripture, personal conversion story, general-authority quotes, and sports analogies, he explores each attribute Paul lists and warns that only the truly charitable will stand in the last days. A pointed, sometimes provocative call to examine why we serve.

  • A backup BYU quarterback's dramatic conversion story frames a fresh look at 1 Corinthians 13.
  • Argues charity is misunderstood—right actions with wrong motives don't count in the eternities.
  • Verse-by-verse treatment of Paul's charity sermon that doubles as a Christlike-attributes study.
  • Blends scripture, C. S. Lewis, and general authorities with relatable sports analogies.
“Charity, properly defined, must be coupled with proper actions and righteous motives.”

Perfect for an active Latter-day Saint adult who wants a scripture-rich, motive-examining study of charity and Christlike attributes for personal or teaching use.
