Synopsis: in the midst of deep affliction, the Prophet Joseph Smith was told, "All these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." The world at that moment was shown anew that God is aware of our suffering, and that pain is not without purpose. Such concepts are not always easy to accept, but, as Elder Maxwell says, "the hardness is usually not in their complexity, but in the deep demands these doctrines make on us." All These Thing Shall Give Thee Experience focuses on some of the "hard doctrines" that members of the Church must come to grips with in the latter days. Elder Maxwell counsels on such interesting and timely subjects as the purposes and types of suffering, the need to accept and to give counsel and correction, the place of prayer, and the importance of following the leaders of the Church.
