About this title: Latter-day Saints are distinguished among other things as builders of temples, and in this respect resemble ancient Israel. This large-format heavily-illustrated book was written to place within the reach of inquirers authentic information concerning the doctrine and practice of temple ministration, as well as to celebrate, with photographs by Ralph Salvage of the Salt Lake City temple interior, the architectural and artistic aesthetics of LDS sacred space.

"It was really fun to visit the Salt Lake temple after reading this book. While it doesn't really provide a lot of spiritual insights, it does highlight ancient and modern temples, especially the Salt Lake temple. My favorite part by far was reading the dedicatory prayer to the SLC temple. Amazing!"
"It's Talmage. You have to love it! It was good, and I learned things about the Temple, but it's not one of my favorite books. lol. I'm glad I read it and will probobly revisit it in the future."
"this was more of a factual instead of a spiritual book. this is a fantastic overview of everything you didn't learn in sunday school about ancient temples. i didn't even know about the zerubabbel temple. it also includes the entire text of the salt lake temple dedicatory prayer and lots of interesting tidbits about the construction."
