Gathering A Remnant

Part memoir, part scripture study, Gathering a Remnant follows Lori Denning's journey as an adopted twin—her birth mother's sacrifice, her closed adoption, her mission to Spain, and her reunion with her birth family—alongside a warm, accessible tour of what the gathering of Israel means across the Old Testament, New Testament, and Book of Mormon. Denning shows how remnants, covenants, patriarchal blessings, and the Savior's love for the outsider all point to one truth: God remembers, gathers, and redeems each of His children, one by one.

• A true adoption-and-reunion story so providential it reads like scripture—her birth family traces back to the very Spanish city where she served her mission.
• Makes the 'gathering of Israel' concrete and personal: it happened to her, one baby at a time.
• A friendly on-ramp to loving the Old Testament, with tools for reading ancient scripture anyone can use.
• Perfect timing for the Come Follow Me Old Testament year.

“Our paths may be complex, but our shared goal of love is simple. Thank you for opening your hearts and widening the definition of family.”

Perfect for a Latter-day Saint adult who loves scripture study and wants an accessible, story-driven guide to the gathering of Israel—and readers touched personally by adoption.
