This was a great book for a year long study of the Savior. I like the title of the book mentioning that it is a plan for "beginning" to know the Savior. It really is a life long pursuit and this book gives a great start with suggestions for how to continue. It also made taking the sacrament each week more meaningful - having a trait, quality, or other aspect of the Savior to think about. Definitely worth the study.

I finished reading this book, but have not finished writing about it – however, you can check out my thoughts so far (and what I update in the future) on my blog:

This was my second time through this book completely – I’ve read bits and pieces many times, it always gets me thinking more deeply and contemplating how to be better, more like our Savior Jesus Christ.

I was also very excited to learn it is available online! https://valuesparenting.com/what-mann...

This book was profound for me when I read it as a teen.
