\n\t\tExcellent Leadership Training, October 11, 2011
\n\t\tBy Customer, UT

\n\t\tThe short chapters contained in this book are powerful. I didn't expect such pointed and delightfully emotionally healthy teachings and examples that are shown-how to view others treating them with respect without being lost in their currently incorrect views-to love others and to work hard. I love these values. To serve when it is not easy and to devote one's loyalty to family. Wonderful examples and inspiring reasoning. I wish I could have all my leaders read it!\n\t\t

\n\t\tGood Reference, September 06, 2012
\n\t\tBy Carol, UT

\n\t\tI have this book near to my current reading materials. I am reading it for the second time. He has put his thoughts and words into easily understood, minimal sections, making this book a quick but powerful read.\n\t\t

\n\t\tNuggets of wisdom from a lifetime of service, October 14, 2011
\n\t\tBy Customer, UT

\n\t\tThis book was inspiring and packed with insights that have left me thinking about them for days. Elder Oaks does not shy away from tough topics like remarrying and the sensitive family relationships that may be strained during such a time. He also tackles Priesthood blessing promises that may not come to pass. Loved LOVED this book. The short chapters make it a pleasure to read a bit at a time while I'm busy with kids. Thank you Elder Oaks.\n\t\t

\n\t\tInteresting points, but falls short, October 06, 2011
\n\t\tBy Customer, CA

\n\t\tI was hoping that this book would give us a good look into the life of someone who I hold in very high regard. Bro. Oaks has led an outstanding and interesting life, and I had hoped to get a glimpse into his humanity and struggles, as well as his accomplishments. Save your money on this one.\n\t\t

\n\t\tAn Opportunity to Learn from the Life Experience of One of the Lord's Servants , October 08, 2011
\n\t\tBy Mike, CA

\n\t\tReading this I felt I was sitting at the feet of one of the Lord's annointed learning from his life and wisdom. The chapter on not labeling ourselves or others was particularly useful because in an inspired piece of timing I had just finished reading this chapter when a friend called to confess that he's been overtaken by an addictive behavior. As I learned from Elder Oaks in this part of the book I urged him to not allow the behavior to define who he is and that it is only a temporary detour from which he can find his way back. He found hope in this for which I credit Elder Oaks for sharing this redemptive principle. Packed with many such pieces of practical wisdom for day to day living, this book is an extremely valuable tool. The chapters on the passing of Elder Oaks's first wife, and his final act of service to her, and the process by which he came to remarry are particularly moving.\n\t\t

\n\t\tGreat book for Spiritual Thoughts!, February 29, 2012
\n\t\tBy Cameron, NV

\n\t\tIf you have to prepare spiritual thoughts for a meeting, this is a great resource. Little nuggets of wisdom in 2-3 pages from Elder Oaks! \n\t\t

\n\t\tShort chapters with insightful messages!, December 05, 2011
\n\t\tBy Customer, UT

\n\t\tThis book brought insight into the adversities that Elder Oakes dealt with at an early age. His lessons learned give hope to all who have adversities. The short chapters draw you through the book and give you much to consider as you compare your own adversities with those of this apostle.\n\t\t
