About the Book: Drawing Upon the Spiritual Treasures of the Temple

A Captivating Exploration of our Faith

Why is it easier to build a temple than to build a people prepared for a temple?

In this profound study, Stephen L. Fluckiger—former temple and mission president and major law firm lawyer for over 34 years—addresses President Russell M. Nelson’s urgent call for members to better "understand," "comprehend," and "have spiritual insights" regarding the priesthood power promised in the House of the Lord.

Drawing Upon the Spiritual Treasures of the Temple is not just a history of the Restoration; it is a spiritual guide to the "power of godliness" manifest through sacred ordinances. By examining the lives and ministries of the great patriarchs—Adam, Abraham, Moses and Elijah—this book illuminates how the Lord has used a "divine pattern" of covenants to bless His children since the foundation of the world.

In these pages and blogs, you will discover:

The Ancient Roots of Modern Covenants: How the tabernacle in the wilderness and the ministries of Moses, Abraham and Elijah provide the "strength" of Zion today.
A "Temple Lens" on the Book of Mormon: Deep-dives into King Benjamin’s covenant renewal and the Savior’s pinnacle temple sermon at Bountiful.
The Spirit of Revelation: Lessons from Joseph Smith’s "divine tutoring" on how to part the veil and communicate more clearly with heaven.
Covenant Relationships: How the "Abrahamic Covenant" and the "Sealing Power" enable us to create eternal families and have our calling and elections made sure.

As you study these spiritual treasures, you will find yourself better able to "grow up in Christ" and claim the "multiplicity of blessings" our Heavenly Father so anxiously desires to bestow.

Testimonials

Jim Wright, Second Counselor, Mesa Temple Presidency

“Drawing upon the Spiritual Treasures of the Temple by Stephen Fluckiger is inspiring, profound, doctrinal, thought-provoking, timely and thoroughly-researched. It teaches about the spiritual treasurers of the temple and their underlying doctrine in a clear, well-organized, understandable fashion. I anticipate going back to it time and again as a valuable resource to remind me of the principles it teaches and to gain further insights. I highly recommend this book.”

Were Worthy Participants in the Israelite Temple Drama “Endowed” as We Understand It?

As I have been preparing the first Come Follow Me Gospel Doctrine lesson for 2026, “Introduction to the Old Testament,” I have been struck by the things Joseph Smith may have learned from Moroni and from the Prophet's translation of the Book of Mormon about the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which included the endowment and sealing ordinances, as it was taught and administered in its purity by Moses and his prophetic successors to the Israelites. The Book of Mormon’s

In Part 1 of this blog, I suggested several questions: Who assembled at the Bountiful Temple and how were they “chosen” to be there (did they simply “self-select” or randomly show up or were they invited)? Why were they at the temple (as opposed to some other place)? Did Mormon use an ancient Israelite temple rite to structure his composition of Third Nephi? If so, why? Did the Lord reveal to and authorize His servants to administer, as part of the Law of Moses-prescribed New

Today is Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, as I send out the next installments in my on-going study of Joseph Smith’s restoration of temple ordinances and doctrine (to be delivered in three parts). It is fitting that the signs given on the American continent of our Savior’s birth in Bethlehem have increasingly been the subject of apostolic Christmas testimonies in recent years.
