The book is by Boyd K Packer and while it doesn’t tell you much about what happens in the Temple it DOES help one to understand the importance that LDS place on the Temple. I think it’s a good rea for those interested in LDS Temples.

I’m not interested in “secrets” per se at all. All I am interested in is the person who respects my religion, beliefs, and me without trying to make a sales pitch about their theology. As a Catholic, I have been inundated my entire life with people making religious sales pitches so my tolerance for any religion non-Catholic is thin to non-existent. What I have learned is that it is, at times, not the content of the faith that sells people on the ideology but the sales pitch itself. I don’t want people making a sales pitch to me with cute little slogans such as “once saved always saved” or “apostasy.” I just want straight forward information, not clever semantics or double-speak or the infamous “you’ll have to come by to learn more” trick. As for Joseph Smith, my attitude, much to the offense of the LDS people on this site, is that he is the 19th century version of L. Ron Hubbard of Scientology fame; that, like Hubbard, he created a religion and suckered people into joining. When the “prophets” are larger than God then that spells false religion to me.
