Dr. Terryl Givens, Professor of Literature and Religion and holder of the James Bostwick Chair of English at the University of Richmond, will be speaking at the upcoming BYUH devotional this Tuesday. Brother Givens' topic is "'Rainbows Over Rain': The Gospel of Superabundance." Although delivered from a spiritual perspective, Givens' message holds an academic angle. He will emphasize the importance of defeating apathy and having real passion for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Brother Givens is known to be the most preeminent Mormon scholar in the U.S., and students, staff and faculty are encouraged to attend this devotional as it will be both spiritual and scholarly in nature. Come prepared to learn about Mormon history and culture, and how it can be applied to the lives of each of us as individuals. He and his wife, Fiona, are the proud parents of six and grandparents of two.
The devotional will be held Tuesday, February 3 in the CAC. Also, look forward to next week's devotional featuring Henry J. Erying and the forum he is hosting on Blackboard regarding his topic, "Where You're Going."
