As a child, Elder Edward Dube would sit under the shade of the mango trees near his home in rural Zimbabwe and learn from his mother. One lesson his mother taught him to keep moving forward. We can't grow if we stay in the comfort of what we currently know - in the comfort of the tree's shade. 

Beyond the Shade of the Mango Tree shows us how our Heavenly Father speaks to and magnifies His children who turn to Him. Elder Dube's story is in some ways the same as many of God's children's - at first a story of doubt and struggle, later one of enlightenment and hope, and finally a realization that he can become all that God wants him to be. 

Yet, in many ways his experiences are vastly different. From growing up in wartorn Zimbabwe, where he discovered the gospel at age twenty-two, to his Church leadership experiences in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, and the United States, Elder Dube's stories and insights offer fresh perspectives on core gospel teachings. 

Through Elder Dube's own personal experiences, along with teachings of latter-day prophets and the scriptures, Beyond the Shade of the Mango Tree teaches us that we can come to see ourselves as the Lord sees us - His beloved children, with the potential to become like him.
