Priesthood Power Unlocked - Hardcover

Longtime Church educator David J. Ridges expands his popular Father's Day pamphlet into a warm, accessible handbook on 'unlocking' priesthood power. Drawing on scripture, prophetic teachings, and decades of personal experience as a seminary teacher, bishop, stake president, and patriarch, he explores worthiness, faith, recognizing inspiration, and doing the will of the Lord. Chapters address healing blessings, women and the priesthood, priesthood keys, and the Aaronic Priesthood—equipping men and their families to bless lives more effectively through God's delegated power.

• Answers the question every priesthood holder quietly asks: 'What do I say when I lay my hands on someone's head?'
• Directly addresses the prophetic call from Presidents Packer and Uchtdorf that we live 'far below our privileges'
• Tackles the women-and-the-priesthood question head-on with clear doctrine
• Packed with real, memorable healing and inspiration stories from a beloved 35-year CES teacher

“We have done very well at distributing the authority of the priesthood. We have priesthood authority planted nearly everywhere. . . . But distributing the authority of the priesthood has raced, I think, ahead of distributing the power of the priesthood.”

Perfect for an active Latter-day Saint man—especially a father, home teacher/minister, or new Melchizedek Priesthood holder—who wants to give more effective blessings and better recognize the Spirit.
