Press On

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin is known among his colleagues as a wise man, a resilient man, and a man of complete integrity. He is also known for telling wonderful stories. In Press On, he shares lessons and insights he has gleaned during his life. His messages focus on the three virtues spoken of so eloquently by the Apostle Paul — faith, hope, and charity — virtues that fit us for service in the kingdom here and also prepare us to return to our Heavenly Father's presence. He talks of following the Savior's example, of cultivating divine attributes, and of becoming modern pioneers by being “true to the truth.” Readers will find profound counsel on many vital gospel principles, together with memorable stories, from the mind and heart of a leader who has shown — in word and deed — how to press on.
