Totally changed my paradigm on how I will teach in the future. Very short, but extremely powerful with an eternal lesson that now makes more sense to me.

[Amie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This changed the way I teach and the way I listen to teachers. It's fabulous and everyone should read it!

[Fabrizio Poli · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a valuable resource. Not only does it show you how to teach by the spirit but also offers great insights into receiving personal revelation.
This is a book that I will use as a reference book and one I will return to often, as a reminder on how to tune into Heavenly Father and have him show me the next step.

Such a powerful book with examples that touched my heart. I just have such admiration for Elder Cook and his writings.

some of the things I disagreed with. so overall I was disappointed.

[Mark Gunnell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall a good book...though a bit redundant at times.

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good book full of simple suggestions to inviting the spirit in as you teach. It helps you realize you need to do your part in asking for the spirit to be with you before, during, and after you teach.

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Amazing book for teachers! But it's not a straight read-through book. I had to take it in segments and apply the principles one at a time. Could have probably ended without dragging out the last few chapters.

[Becky · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. It has given me so many insights on how to improve my teaching and follow the Spirit more. I have a far way to go, but I really feel like I'm improving because of the insights in this book.

3.5 stars. I am grateful for the insight and experiences that were shared in this book. There were a few chapters that I really learned a lot from. I felt the Holy Ghost testify of gospel truths taught and my testimony has been strengthened.

This book teaches a lot of excellent principles and doctrine relating to teaching by the spirit. I found it very helpful and will refer back to it often as I have opportunities to teach. I know from personal experience that the principles that Elder Cook teaches in this book are true and they work.

[Lacey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Listened to it on tape probably about four times and I'm currently listening to it. This is my favorite!

[Joe · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great read. This book has as much to do with living as teaching. It made me a better father.

[Kate · Rating 5 out of 5]

The first chapter hooked me. I'd experience what he was talking about - great so far!

[Desiree · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the book! Learned so much in so little time and applied his principles in my lessons with wonderful results. If you are a teacher, which all of us are, read it and apply it to your own life.

[Ernie Dawson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Elder Cook has a special spirit and gives great talks and writes great books. This book has a lot of great ideas on teaching by the spirit.

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very thought-provoking. Gives lots of great ideas on how to improve teaching in all aspects of life.

[Semi-Academic Eric · Rating 5 out of 5]

Spontaneous responses to the actual needs of students seems to call for an unusual type of preparation.

[Jared · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book like this needs to be studied and digested rather than just read. That said, I imagine this book deserves a 5 star rating rather than the 4 I gave it. Very well written though.

[Oliver · Rating 5 out of 5]

read many years ago, but the lessons taught I still use today. "Come follow me" emphasizes many of E Cook's suggestions for teaching. A great read for beginning a better teacher.

[Jenny · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great stuff in this book. I took notes and plan to implement a lot of it in my teaching and speaking.

[David Eldredge · Rating 5 out of 5]
