Where is the FN?

Anthony Sweat's honest treatment of the religious teen's insecurities opens with a confession: "When I was a teenager, I was afraid to die."
After all, which kingdom would God deem him worthy of? Terrestrial? Telestial?
Sweat, a veteran LDS educator who currently teaches seminary at West High in Salt Lake City, has seen his share of high school students struggling to make sense of the afterlife, has experienced fear of the unknown himself. But he was troubled when nearly half of Mormon youths he polled in his classes felt they fell tremendously short of celestial criteria; how some even felt they were spiraling toward outer darkness.
Sweat's latest book, "I'm Not Perfect. Can I Still Go to Heaven?" puts life after death front and center...
SNIP
...Elder Russell M. Nelson's reminder:
"We all need to remember: men are that they might have joy — not guilt trips! We also need to remember that the Lord gives us no commandments that are impossible to obey. But sometimes we fail to comprehend them fully."
This tendency to misunderstand scripture or get caught up in gospel lore rather than doctrine is something Sweat handles...
As Sweat says, "Do we really think that God's eternal plan, his perfect plan, is a plan designed to exalt and save only a small handful in the celestial kingdom? God's plan is not a plan of failure; it is a plan of successful salvation!"
Sweat recognizes our inclination to set unreachable standards of perfection for ourselves or for those around us, assuming anything less is unacceptable to a perfect God.
In actuality, there is a plan of grace and mercy in motion detailed in "I'm Not Perfect…" that, when realized and accepted, will not only uplift self-deprecating youths, but any Latter-day Saint looking and longing for hope.
