In a world full of noise, confusion, and shifting values, how do we anchor ourselves in truth—and rise with strength?
Build Upon the Rock: A Nephite Guide to Self-Mastery invites modern disciples to walk the path of ancient wisdom and divine transformation. Blending the practical insights of Stoic philosophy with the spiritual power of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, this guide offers young Latter-day Saints a bold, devotional roadmap for becoming mentally strong, spiritually resilient, and truly free.
Rooted in the lives of the Nephites and early Christian saints—and inspired by thinkers like Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus—this book teaches that true power is found not in controlling others, but in mastering ourselves. Each chapter tackles a timeless challenge: How do we face adversity without falling apart? How do we tame our impulses and choose virtue over vice? How do we live with purpose in a world that drifts?
More than a book of ideas, Build Upon the Rock is a training manual. Inside, readers will find:
-
Faith-based reflections on divine identity, agency, and the battle for the mind
-
Scriptural examples from the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price (and more) brought to life with clarity and meaning
-
Illustrations from Stoic history that prove truth is timeless
-
Practical exercises to build habits of thought, emotional discipline, and virtue to deepen application and spark real change
Whether you’re a teenager navigating the pressures of high school, a missionary preparing to serve, or a young adult seeking clarity in a chaotic world, this book offers more than self-help—it offers soul-shaping guidance.
You are a child of God. You are meant to become like Him. That process begins not out in the world, but within your own heart.
Stand strong. Think clearly. Live deliberately. The rock is Christ—and it’s time to build.
