This is intended to be a comprehensive collection of all of Neal Ash Maxwell’s published works, as well as related documents from various authors. The bibliography to The Collected Works of Neal A. Maxwell was invaluable in its preparation, as was the bibliography to A Disciple’s Life (which I have yet to completely incorporate). However, these have not proven to be complete, and thus I have embarked on creating a complete list of Brother Maxwell’s works.
I won’t try to tell the story of Elder Maxwell here–others have done that far better. I recommend the entry at Grampa Bill’s G.A. Pages and Bruce C. Hafen’s biography of Elder Maxwell, A Disciple’s Life. The Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship has also made a brief biography available.
At this time, I will list the more accessible works (the works of which I have copies—articles, talks, etc.), and move on to the more obscure pieces (such as introductions, scholarly articles from his early career at the University of Utah, etc.) as time permits. If you know of any works I have omitted from this compendium or if you find any mistakes here, please contact me at left with further details. I’ll appreciate it.

We greatly sorrow over the passing of our beloved associate and friend, Elder Neal Ash Maxwell of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. His life has been most extraordinary. He has excelled in the very many endeavors in which he has been engaged and particularly in his devoted service since his call to the Apostleship in 1981.
His incisive mind, his tremendous teaching abilities and his remarkable leadership have greatly assisted in moving forward the work of the Church in all the world.
Our hearts reach out to his beloved companion, Colleen, and other family members. We pray the Lord will comfort and sustain them at this difficult time.

I don’t know if it is in the book of the same name, but his 1984 speech to BYU stakes “If Thou Endure it Well” is missing. You can find it in both written and play-back forms online I think. At least there is a transcript online (top of 2nd page of a google search is where it came up for me). Thanks for this collection.

There is another message by Elder Maxwell that is not listed here (as it is not published) that will air on
http://radio.lds.org/eng/schedule tonight (2 Mar 2010 at 7:00PM EST). This message is titled, “The Education of Our Desires” and is quite possibly one of the most profound things I have heard. It was given as an Institute of Religion Devotional on Jan 5, 1983 at the University of Utah. The last time the message aired I recorded it and transcribed it.
To Neal Davis specifically;
If you are interested in having either the transcription or MP3 file, let me know.

DRM, I’ve listened to the devotional and proofread the transcript you provided. Thank you for making this available. I know transcribing is hard work.

Hello DRM, my son is on a mission in Michigan and is looking for a recording of Elder Maxwell’s “Settle This in Your Hearts” from the radio broadcast. Would you be willing to sending me the mp3 file?
By: Irene Tidrick on Tuesday, 3 August 2010
at 18.31
You can try the radio.lds.org link below, which doesn’t appear to have a search function, or http://www.byub.org/talks/ to see if they will ever replay it online. I couldn’t find that it had been broadcast in the BYU archives; you could try emailing them to see if they would broadcast it so you could record it or if they could point you at a link to the audio.
Also, maybe your ward library has the old cassettes or CDs from the 1992 conference.

I was pleased to see the wikipedia article on Elder Maxwell, then finding this work to publish his works. What a treasure. Elder Maxwell truly provided a spiritual feast. He spoke with eloquent plainness to those with ears to hear. His talks were to me like hearing fresh scripture live. I never tire of his words, like those gems in standard works. Would that all the world would have a quiet time to think and ponder over this man’s expressions of faith and wisdom. Thank you for initiating the work. I have especially missed his talks at conferences, but grateful much is preserved and available.

Brian, I can’t seem to find a reference to a 1979 talk called that from BYU. Are you certain it was a devotional and not a stake conference address, etc.? Those have proven more difficult to track down. Where did you find it cited?
Daniel R. Mower provided the transcript for the U of U talk you referenced from a recording off of a radio station; I’ll pass that along to you. (I don’t host mp3s here due to WordPress limitations.)

DRM recommended http://radio.lds.org/eng/schedule a few weeks ago. They often replay older conference talks, and you can record the audio online to an MP3 (using something like Audacity, but there are probably simpler solutions too). Also, your local ward or branch library may have copies of cassettes going back that far.

Did any ever locate, “When The Heat Of The Sun Cometh” 1979 ByU devotional, Neal Maxwell.

I’ve been looking unsuccessfully for a devotional of that name by Elder Maxwell. The 1980 devotional “True Believers in Christ” uses the scripture “when the heat of the sun cometh” in it; is it possible that this is the same devotional?

No, This was a 1979 BYU Devotional, and the Title of the talk was “When The Heat Of The Sun Cometh.” A friend received a copy when he served in the mission field, under Pres. LeGrand R. Curtis, Florida Tallahassee Mission, 1979-81.
That is all I know.

Okay, I dug around a little more and found a reference online:
“Neal A. Maxwell, “When the Heat of the Sun Cometh,” unpublished address delivered at Young Adult fireside, Salt Lake Tabernacle, May 20, 1979; transcript of this talk in the possession of the author.”
So it’s a YA fireside, which explains why I probably haven’t been able to locate it anywhere. For now, I’ll just have to hope a transcript turns up somewhere, since I’m not certain where this sort of thing might be archived.

I just emailed a possible possessor of a transcript. I’ll let you know if I get anything.

I concur with the findings regarding this talk “When the Heat of the Sun Cometh.” I was a missionary under President Curtis and listened to this talk almost weekly through my mission. I loaned my copy of the talk to someone years ago and never got it back. I also made a long-hand transcript of it, but have lost it as well.
If anyone finds it, I’d love to get a copy of it. I want to share it with my kids.

Hi!! I just got back form my mission and I’ve heard a lot about a talk by Neal A Maxwell entitled the Education of Our desires. It’s something I’ve been studying a lot recently and I really want to find it. Does anyone know where I can find it or get it written or anything like that? Thanks so much!!!

It’s linked above as a 1983 University of Utah devotional.

Ths is great – thank you. Have you found a site that has the audio to Elder Maxwell’s general conference addresses? I’d like to download them and create an audio file. Thanks.

The BYU devotionals have audio at that site, and the LDS general conference page has audio from 1999 forward.

Thank you for the work you have done in compiling this. I have searched over the years to find a BYU 12 Stake Fireside that Elder Maxwell gave in the Marriott Center in the late 1970′s, maybe ’77, ’78, or ’79. In this inspiring talk he used the phrase “the rest is high adventure.” I am sure that this was not a devotional. I have searched through several books and data bases but cannot find the transcript. Could you help?

I’ll keep my eyes open for it. It sounds reminiscent of a minor theme of NAM’s that discipleship is an adventure, which he mentions (in more or less those words) several times.

Elder Maxwell gave a talk for the June 21, 2003 Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting broadcast entitled, “What Manner of Men Ought [We] to Be?”
Unfortunately, I have not found it online. I have it in a printed booklet of the talks from that session.

DRM,
I’ve read Elder Maxwell’s conference address entitled “According to the Desires of [Our] Hearts.” That address helped me understand the gospel plan more clearly. I would really like to read a transcript of Elder Maxwell’s talk on the same subject to the University of Utah’s Institute of Religion in 1983. Is a copy of that talk available? Thank you, Morris

The link above is to a PDF of the 1983 U of U institute devotional.

Thank you for your quick response. I would like a copy, in pdf format, of the talk “The Education of Our Desires.” Is that available? Or a transcript of the talk in another format (Word, WordPerfect, or Pages)? I see the reference to an audio copy of that talk in MP3 format, but not he pdf format. Sorry if I’ve overlooked the link to the pdf.
Thank you,
Morris

You have put together an amazing collection of Elder Maxwell’s talks – thank you. Do you know how I can get a DVD of his talk at the CES Religious Educators Conference on Aug 13 about the Cosmos? If so please email me at michelewatts50@gmail.com. Thanks!

I’d start by trying The Religious Educator, which used to have a wonderful website with access to articles but seems to have lapsed to a subscription page only. If you’re a subscriber or know a seminary or institute teacher who is, perhaps you can find a contact number for them.

Excellent site! I’ve been looking everywhere for an Mp3 of Elder Maxwell’s first conference address as an apostle “O Divine Redeemer”. Does anyone have it or know where I could find it. I’ve seen a couple of montages on YouTube with parts of the talk as the background but I’ve never found the complete talk.
Thanks!

The enjoyment of Elder Maxwell’s speaking and writing style have expanded my mind and most of all blessed the feelings of my heart. This listing of his efforts is a wonderful tool to explore the heart and mind of this wonderful man. Thanks for putting forth the work to share the works of Elder Maxwell.
