Summary: Elder Oaks answers a question that I didn't know I had!
Comment: Elder Oaks has distingushed himself by covering a wide variety of subjects, not just "the basics," but the "second tier" topics and subjects like Elder McConkie or President Joseph Fielding Smith.used to do. Remeber his talks on our strengths being our downfall; on adversity; on being saved; the article on homosexuality; his adress on wheightier matters; on distinguishing between sins and mistakes; and so forth? This book is along those lines, discussing the doctrine associated with names.
Based on a talk originally given in the April 1985 General Conference, Elder Oaks has expanded his ideas into a book form. He discusses the signifigance of names as they relate to God, to church service, and to our eternal identities. Many missionaries make a big deal about having the name of the Savior and their names togeather on a black name tag. This book explains that the conomiality and carrying the name of Christ goes even deeper than a temporary acessory that will be cast aside after two years. Elder Oaks points out that the name of Christ should not (just) be on our chest, but in our hearts, and engrained in our soul.

The book is slim, and is very readable. Elder Oaks relies on the scriptures as his main source of information, which is laudable. Moreover, there is a special treat for those that read his introduction ot the book!

It is refreshing to read a book on the finer points of the Gospel, to help perfect myself in my ministry.
