Great Source For Inspiration

One of the best teachings books I've read. Many short and to the point quotes that not only inspire but answer many questions that come to mind in daily life. Book also has an electronic version that is great for having around in you Palm or Pocket PC.

Teachings of the world leader of the Church of Jesus Christ

This book is a collection of teachings by the current (2002) president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Gordon B. Hinckley.For members of the church, this is an essential book in understanding what our living prophet has to say, be it on Abortion, Baptism, or Child Abuse. It also includes a section where President Hinckley eulogizes past presidents of the church.For non-members, this book can serve as an introduction to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Most of the books out there are decidedly against the Church. This book allows you to read what the Saints themselves believe, as taught by their own leader.The book is arraigned by topic, and has quotes of various lengths on the different subjects, as opposed to a collection of conference talks. President Hinckley was blessed with a wonderful capacity to speak and to speak clearly, unlike myself. His words are a joy to read and his counsel is a joy to follow.

Please get this book.

I quote the words of Elder David B. Haight in stating "With all the inspiration and love that I possess, I testify that Gordon B. Hinckley was foreordained to become the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; to be the mouthpiece of God on the earth at this time; and to lead God's people as prophet, seer, and revelator." We can all learn from his teachings.

Easy to find info

I love the way this book is set up. Its set up by topic, which makes for easy reference use. Some of his teachings are inspired, others are a reminder of common sense we may have dismissed. He doesn't beat around the bush, but gets straight to the point. Its a great book whether you read it cover to cover or just search out a specific topic from time to time.

A LAtter-day Prophet Speaks!

This book is key for understanding Latter-day Saints and understanding their current President, Gordon B. HInckley. His three-decades experience as an assistant to the Twelve, as an Apostle, as counselor in the First Presidency, and as the fifteenth Prophet, Seer and Revelator for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is distilled topically in this book. It is a handy reference for anyone wishing to see what he has said about most any topic, timely and timeless. From abortion to Zion, this book is the true source for true doctrine about what Latter-day Saints belive and teach.
