The Atoning One, by Robert L. Millet
The Atonement of Jesus Christ is—and should be—at the very center of all we teach. Everything else is peripheral. Everything else is either connected to this central, saving truth or it has no power to bless or change us. It is vital that we understand that through this singular act by our loving Lord, we can be reawakened, redeemed, reclaimed, and restored when we fall short or wander off the gospel path. At the same time, we must recognize that although the Lord’s Atonement is at the heart of God’s plan, we cannot and should not attribute everything good that happens in our lives to that Atonement. Both the first and third members of the Godhead have a myriad of ways in which They too bless the children of our Father in Heaven.
Amazed by Grace, by Sheri Dew
In Amazed by Grace, Sheri Dew discusses important questions, exploring a topic that she describes as being central to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. “The most compelling, most life-changing message of all time,” she writes, “is that Jesus Christ has already triumphed over sin, death, hell, temptation, and every kind of misery.”
As we come to more fully understand the majestic doctrine of grace, our faith will increase. We will see how the Savior keeps His promise to make weak things strong. And we will believe the truth that “His Atonement makes available all of the power, peace, light, and strength that we need to deal with life's challenges.”
The Infinite Atonement, by Tad R. Callister
With The Infinite Atonement, Brother Callister offers us what may be the most comprehensive yet understandable treatment of the Atonement in our day. He thoughtfully probes the infinite scope of this “great and last sacrifice,” describing its power and breadth and explaining how it redeems us all. With clarity, testimony, and understanding, The Infinite Atonement teaches us rich and wonderful truths about this “doctrine of doctrines” and elevates our spirits as we contemplate the perfect love of Him who gave all that we might receive all.

The Continuous Atonement, by Brad Wilcox
Most members of the Church acknowledge that perfection is a long-term process, but they overlook the continuous nature of Christ’s Atonement that makes that process possible. Peace is found not by giving up or erasing the need to change, but by turning to the One who makes change possible and realizing that we get lots of chances to start again. So, if at first you don’t succeed either, don't find excuses. Find the Savior and the blessings of His continuous Atonement.
