Inside front cover: Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear, by Linda Curley Christensen. The glorious light of the sun illuminating our lives is often used as a symbol of our Savior and His love for us, reminding us that “God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect. … There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear” (1 Jn. 4:16–18).

Inside back cover: On Zion’s Mount, by Jodi G. Warner. The design and details of this hand-quilted wall hanging reflect words from the prophet Isaiah: “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it” (Isa. 2:2).
