A Future As Bright As Your Faith

by Thomas S. Monson

President Thomas S. Monson has reminded Church members that we can have hope and happiness in whatever circumstances we face. As he says, “Though the storm clouds may gather, though the rains may pour down upon us, our knowledge of the gospel and our love of our Heavenly Father and of our Savior will comfort and sustain us and bring joy to our hearts as we walk uprightly and keep the commandments. There will be nothing in this world that can defeat us.” This dynamic collection of thoughts for each day of the year from President Monson is certain to motivate and inspire us in our pursuit to be of good cheer. Containing 365 quotations and accompanying scriptures for daily reading, this small, carry-along sized book will fit in a purse, briefcase, or backpack. It’s also an excellent resource for family home evenings, gospel lessons, talks, or personal study. Give the gift of hope—or keep yours alive—with the words of our beloved prophet.

About the author

Thomas S. Monson served as the 16th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often called the "Mormon Church" or "LDS Church") from 2008 to his death in 2018. Before his time as President, he had served as a Counselor in the First Presidency of the Church since 1985. He was ordained an Apostle and called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1963 at the unusually young age of 36.

Monson was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. After serving in the US Navy and earning a bachelor's degree from the University of Utah, he married Frances Johnson and they had three children. Monson worked in the local news publishing industry until church service became a full-time occupation.

This book is a short book of daily inspirational thoughts. I have loved reading it everyday! Some days it inspires me to be better, and some days it helps me ponder and reflect. I send it to my family in a daily message and have loved sharing spiritual and personal insight with one another. It helps us strive for a life of good cheer and a strong and bright faith in our Savior.

A Daily Spiritual Boost

I love being able to read an uplifting thought in the morning, think about it throughout the day, and then end the day by rereading the message.

I keep this book on my night stand. Love picking it up each night before I go to sleep and reading just a page of "sunshine." Thomas S. Monson's thoughts on scripture and life's journey are filled with light and hope.

These are quotes by President Monson meant to be read daily for a whole year. I ended up reading mine in clumps every week or so. I only wished they had a reference page or footnote so I would know where and when he said the quotes.

I loved these daily doses of inspiration from the Prophet (or, in my case, months worth of wisdom in a day to catch up). One of my favorite quotes was from Oct. 28th, "You do not find the happy life - you make it." I had many favorites...

I loved this book. I wish I hadn't have gotten it from the library so I could read it slower.

Loved the daily food for thought.

[Sandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was wonderful to start every day this year with a thought from President Monson.

[Mary L.]

Great little book of daily reflections. Since it was by the present prophet of the church, each days reflection was very current with what is happening at this time.

[Becky H. · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's always fun to have a book that gives you a good quote or thought for every day of the year.

[Rex Cluff · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent little book giving spiritual thoughts for each day of the year. Reading it straight through was probably not the best way to absorb the contents of this little volume. The messages ought to be thought over, pondered and absorbed into our lives.
