Read the scriptures and the Lectures on Faith, and you'll learn enough about faith to make reading this book unnecessary. This book has a few good Elder Cook stories mixed in with copy and pasted scriptures.

I reread this as part of my project to reread the booklist I have set out for my children. It was a wonderful review of my faith and I worked to really learn and grow as a I read. I continue to ponder how to be aligned with the will of the Lord in my faith. I cannot just decide what I want and go for it, but need to include Him and His will. I know I need more specific goals to be praying for and exercising faith in in order to grow the ways I want.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I have his other books.

When I had faith, I thought this book did a good job of identifying how to better 'Live by Faith'.

Now I believe the book is not a good use of paper or time. I guess it depends on a person's perspective.

Because I read this in the mode of personal improvement, there should be no exact date. I read it and applied it over time.

One of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors. This book is designed to teach you the availability of the powers of heaven to those who will excercise Faith. Great read, do not miss it.

Elder Cook is quite the author and speaker. His spirituality is of the greatest magnitude.

I learned a few new things and greatly appreciated recalling and understanding those I already knew in greater depth.

I learned that faith is rather a practical principle of DOING because we believe.
Aprendí que la fe es un principio práctico de hacer las cosas por nuestras creencias y confianza en Dios.
