This little book is simply DELIGHTFUL! It makes an excellent gift from a Latter-day Saint to another Latter-day Saint. It was written by a Mormon for Mormons. Every LDS person who sees it LOVES it. (The individuals who claim to have hated this book are anti-Mormons who hate all LDS publications. The one gentleman claims he's an "orthodox" Mormon...ROFL! Dead give-way. I've been LDS for 46 years. Latter-day Saints NEVER use the word "orthodox" in connection with their religion.)

I LOVED this book--wonderful tips and reminders.

I'm an active and orthodox Mormon who came across this little gem in a box of (understandably) cast off books. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I kept reading little "pearls of wisdom" to my wife, waiting ... hoping for the punch line. The book is beyond funny--but I fear it's author was completely devoid of any sense of humor. It's just a random collection of annoying cliches collected by the Mother-In-Law from Hell. If, Heaven forbid, you stumble across this book somewhere, PLEASE rest assured that I know very few Mormons who would not find it hysterical.

P.S. A reviewer below describes the book as "homophobic." I don't think the book addresses homosexuality at all. I didn't read the whole thing, but read enough that had that been an undercurrent I would have found it. I can only conclude that the reviewer has become so ideologically single-minded that "homophobic" has become synonomous with "me not like." So, if you think the mere absence of homophobia constitutes a virtue, you might like this book. But I doubt it.

P.P.S. This should be obvious, but the same reviewer erroneously thinks this absurdity is an official Church publication. I'm not sure how to respond to that.

I had the unfortunate experience of reading this poor excuse for a book while vacationing at my sister's house. It is filled with hateful "reminders" that do nothing more than reinforce homophobia, elitism, and ignorance. It makes me ill to think that people are reading this book on a daily basis and taking these "reminders" to heart. One more brain-washing technique used by LDS church. Truly offensive and hurtful. Instead of paying the $$$$ for this $$$, why not buy a homeless person a meal? A child a toy? A downtrodden person a tank of gas? Anything would be better than wasting it on this "book".
