"Occasionally
I have been asked if I can recommend a good book or article to help
people understand the temple ordinances. I have always answered, 'Yes!
There is a wonderful manual written to explain even the most subtle
meanings of the endowment, and it is readily available to you.'
Excitedly the person takes out pencil and paper to write down the title.
'The manual is the holy scriptures,' I say. Disappointed, the person
puts down the pencil and says, 'No, really. Is there any other book you
would recommend?'" - S. Michael
Wilcox, "House of Glory: Finding Personal Meaning in the Temple," p.

God desires children who are
like him, reflecting all his perfections. What is God like? He is full
of mercy, compassion, empathy, and charity. He works for his
children’s happiness. He serves and forgives. To become like him, we,
too, must acquire these traits. What experiences of life are most
conducive in developing these qualities? When others suffer, we feel
mercy and compassion. When others sin against us, we learn to forgive.
Through others’ needs, we learn service, empathy, and charity. The
most trying times of our own lives often are the best producers in us
of godlike qualities. - S. Michael Wilcox, "No
Other Gods Before Me," Ensign January 1994
