5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to find info, December 22, 1999

This review is from: Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley (Hardcover)

I love the way this book is set up. Its set up by topic, which makes for easy reference use. Some of his teachings are inspired, others are a reminder of common sense we may have dismissed. He doesn't beat around the bush, but gets straight to the point. Its a great book whether you read it cover to cover or just search out a specific topic from time to time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A LAtter-day Prophet Speaks!, December 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley (Hardcover)

This book is key for understanding Latter-day Saints and understanding their current President, Gordon B. HInckley. His three-decades experience as an assistant to the Twelve, as an Apostle, as counselor in the First Presidency, and as the fifteenth Prophet, Seer and Revelator for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is distilled topically in this book. It is a handy reference for anyone wishing to see what he has said about most any topic, timely and timeless. From abortion to Zion, this book is the true source for true doctrine about what Latter-day Saints belive and teach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teachings of the world leader of the Church of Jesus Christ, January 4, 2002

This review is from: Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley (Hardcover)

This book is a collection of teachings by the current (2002) president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Gordon B. Hinckley.

For members of the church, this is an essential book in understanding what our living prophet has to say, be it on Abortion, Baptism, or Child Abuse. It also includes a section where President Hinckley eulogizes past presidents of the church.

For non-members, this book can serve as an introduction to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Most of the books out there are decidedly against the Church. This book allows you to read what the Saints themselves believe, as taught by their own leader.

The book is arraigned by topic, and has quotes of various lengths on the different subjects, as opposed to a collection of conference talks. President Hinckley was blessed with a wonderful capacity to speak and to speak clearly, unlike myself. His words are a joy to read and his counsel is a joy to follow.
