I enjoyed reading this book. James E Faust demonstrates clearly what a Godly man he is and teaches us all by example how he follows the Savior and how we should too.

A great book about positive thinking.

Helpful to me at this time. I'm likely to come back to this work and read my notes I left again someday. Also could be useful in giving talks in church or lessons.

I finished this book right before church today. I found it amazing that the story about the currant bush and Elder Hugh B Brown was the same story that we would be talking about in my Sunday School class. A coincidence? I think not. You can find the short (3:02 minutes) video at lds.org "The Will of God" or on youtube.com "God is the Gardner" (5:11 minutes). Excellent video to go along with the story.

Found this in a thrift store with a peronal handwritten note from parents to their son. It was just $1.99.Hope that son read it before giving it away. I have enjoyed it and its a keep sake now that the author has passed away

It's a quick read. Some parts made me cry when it shows how much people suffer but still live happy, positive lives. I didn't know how Spencer W. Kimball had suffered so much, being compared to Job.

I read this a chapter or two at a time over quite some time - it was a great way to end a long day or any other time I wanted to feel uplifted.

While there were sections I enjoyed more than others, and chapters that were more or less personal, overall it was a great collection.
