Dr. Dunn was invited to speak at the BYU campus-wide devotional last Tuesday, January 31, 2012. He could have chosen to speak about the many ways he and other BYU faculty and students have blessed the lives of countless individuals in 3rd world countries by helping to reduce malnutrition and hunger.

Not surprisingly, after prayerful consideration, Dr. Dunn elected not to speak about himself, but rather to address the topic of "The Miracle of Forgiveness" and the interrelationship between ourselves and our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ.
Even though I expected his talk to be good, I was (and still am) amazed at the quality and power of the remarks he prepared and delivered under the influence of the Holy Ghost. This talk is of such high caliber that it reminds me of the better talks one might hear at LDS General Conference. Dr. Dunn does a masterful job of teaching from the scriptures and succinctly describing the purpose of life, the Plan of Salvation, and the key role of Jesus Christ in each of our lives. He does a superb job of clearly explaining the doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on these vital topics.
I invite and encourage all my extended family and friends, both Mormons and non-Mormons, to listen to this talk and prayerfully ponder its message and meaning for each of us.
