Can one scripture change your life? Primary teacher and former LDS mission president Daniel Bay Gibbons believes it can. In this book, written for and dedicated to his Valiant 10 class, Brother Gibbons shows how Helaman 5:12 has the power to bless your life, now and forever, if you will let it.
Daniel Bay Gibbons left his writing dreams behind for decades to be a trial attorney and a judge but found his way back to the world of fiction after spending three years in Russia.
Dan's well-traveled and unorthodox life by the numbers: grew up in the home of 2 writers; began writing his first novel at age 13; lived for 2 years in Germany; earned 2 degrees in Ancient History and Law; raised 5 children; tried 100s of cases as a trial attorney; finished 7 marathons; and presided for 10 years as a criminal trial judge.
Dan resigned his judgeship to serve with his wife Julie as an unpaid Mormon mission president. He returned home to Holladay, Utah at age 56 to begin a new life as a writer and literary entrepreneur. When he isn't writing he is reading, running or playing with his 4 grandchildren.
Dan agrees with Dostoevsky that fifty-six is "the age at which real life begins!"
