Temple Prep
House of Light: Your Guide to the Temple
House of Light: Your Guide to the Temple is the most comprehensive temple prep course available. It has helped thousands of people improve their temple experience. It will help you prepare for the temple physically and spiritually.
Many people who are preparing to enter the temple for the first time feel anxious because they don’t know what to expect. Well-intentioned loved ones often feel unsure about what they can appropriately share. Most temple prep classes stress the symbolic, ancient aspects of the temple without relating temple practices to modern experiences and sensibilities.
First-time patrons can leave wondering, “Did my temple prep class have anything to do with what I just experienced?” “Why didn’t someone just tell me what to expect in the temple?”
It doesn't have to be this way.
House of Light is designed to alleviate confusion or anxiety about the logistics of what happens in the temple so you can focus on what matters most—connecting with your Heavenly Parents.
A walk-through guide
The first portion of the course walks you through the temple. It tells you where you will go, who will be there to help you, and what will happen from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. It includes helpful hints like when to go to the restroom and visual diagrams.
Less surprises means less anxiety, which means greater peace and a better chance for a positive experience.
Meaningful study guides
The second part of the course is a purposeful study guide. It provides tools to help you create a unique and personalized temple prep experience.
Guided studies cover important temple principles like the Atonement and the Fall. Importantly, it also explains each covenant made in the temple. Rather than hearing about a covenant for the first time when making it, individuals will have a personal understanding of each temple covenant before entering the temple.
Resources you won't find anywhere else
Special feature: Notable Latter-day Saint therapist, Dr. Julie Hanks, guides readers through an uplifting, shame-free study of the Law of Chastity.
Additional resources are:
• FAQ section that covers important points of interest and common concerns like garment wearing, what to do if you don’t have a great experience in the temple, and more.
• Temple prep shopping checklist with links for men and women.
• Journal prompts to complete at your own pace that can guide your thoughts and personal revelation.
Connect with your covenants through House of Light. Study guides are packed full of live links to talks, videos, podcasts, and other books for additional studies.
