Liberty is a fundamental and eternal principle, but it cannot exist without its counterpart—personal responsibility. Latter-day Responsibility describes in detail the many responsibilities we each must perform if we truly wish to defend individual liberty in these latter days. From self-defense and self-reliance, to faith, family, and financial freedom, Latter-day Responsibility pinpoints precise actions needed from each of us if liberty is to successfully be preserved.

A book written specifically for our time, Latter-day Responsibility is a compelling and detailed analysis of what the gospel of Jesus Christ requires us each to do to advance the cause of liberty. It is a necessary addition to any library.

"How refreshing it is for voters in this year of Mitt Romney to have a voice that is both Mormon and libertarian. Here is that voice: Clear, compelling, full of faith, and understanding the need for limited government. Connor Boyack's "Latter Day Responsibility" should be on Gov. Romney's desk and the Governor should read it for its extraordinary explanation of the shared values of Christianity, Mormonism, and personal freedom. This book will open your eyes to a well-spring of western religious values which recognize the primacy of the individual over the state and insist that the government do the same."
--Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Fox News Channel

"Many patriotic Americans demand a more limited government, but few seem to have figured out the path to reach that goal. Connor Boyack's important book explains in simple and compelling terms that limited government and liberty will be obtained through personal responsibility. The duty to take care of ourselves and those around us must be lived, encouraged, and popularized if we are to create a free society. Latter-day Responsibility helps pave the way for a restoration of this primary virtue."
--John Pestana, co-founder, Omniture

"America's responsibility deficit is a more pressing challenge than anything we face in the economy, energy, education, or defense. Citizens must renew an individual ethic of doing the right thing by choice. People of faith, including my Mormon friends, understand this -- but we need a sense of urgency and an action plan. Connor Boyack's wise, timely, and practical book provides exactly that."
--John Andrews, former Colorado Senate President and author of Responsibility Reborn: A Citizen's Guide to the Next American Century

"Connor Boyack makes a compelling case for a return to personal responsibility as the bedrock principle needed to maintain the best virtues of our society. In this highly readable and informative book, he explains why our desire for preserving freedom will not become a reality until we first emphasize the importance of personal responsibility. We will secure freedom for future generations, Boyack writes, by first taking care of ourselves and those around us--a forgotten virtue that once permeated our culture. The battle for keeping our freedom alive and vibrant will not be won in the halls of Congress, he claims, but in the hearts and homes of every individual. Boyack's new book speaks to the heart of those who respect the role a spiritual perspective towards preserving freedom plays."
--Daniel L. Bolz, president, The Statue of Responsibility Foundation

Insightful, motivating and timely. A must read for all!

By Ty Brewer on October 31, 2012

Format: Paperback

Where Latter-day Responsibility stands out is in the honesty with which it addresses the question of liberty and all that liberty necessarily requires. This is the natural corollary to Boyack's first book, Latter-day Liberty and very effectively teaches how personal responsibility is essential in order to enjoy and preserve individual freedoms.

One might think a book on responsibility might leave the reader feeling guilty or that they fall short and that it might be a heavy read. To the contrary, Boyack's book is enlightening, motivating and entirely relevant to the societal environment in which we find ourselves today.

His chapter on self-defense is a great case in point. I've always thought of myself as a provider and protector in my home and family, but not really given a significant amount of thought to the protector role. Reading this chapter, however, has profoundly changed my perspective and leaves me realizing how much more of a personal responsibility I have to be prepared to defend myself and my family should the need ever arise and what a mistake it is to think that publicly provided services could ever suffice. I look forward to personally improving in this area!

In his characteristic way, Boyack employs sound logic throughout, is easy to read and shares well-researched, insightful quotes and commentary.

Perhaps my greatest takeaway was that a moral and responsible people should demand to be granted life in a free society. Implicit in his writing is a charge for all to more fully take ownership of life and to live such that we can enjoy a life of liberty and engage in those activities that will make that possible.

From what I know of the author, he doesn't write hypocritically. He genuinely strives to practice what he preaches.Read more ›

Must Read

By Gerald M Nebeker on October 14, 2013

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

If you read this book, then you must also read the companion book - Latter-day Liberty. The two books go hand-in-hand.
Judge Andrew Napolitano called the book, "Clear, Compelling, Full of Faith". I would completely agree! Connor has done an outstanding job of utilizing scripture, church authorities, Founding Fathers, and other authoritative sources in supporting his arguments. His rhetoric is well done. I think the key word here is "compelling". Every American should read this book and come to realize that to preserve personal liberty every american needs to take greater personal responsibility. It will happen in no other way!

Makes Me Want To Take Control...

By James Davis on December 27, 2012

Format: Paperback

This book makes me want to take control...of my own life. Connor Boyack inspires his readers to want to be better, kinder, more charitable, and responsible for their own lives and the lives of others through voluntary action instead of looking to others to do it for them. Due to the title of the book I'm afraid most who SHOULD read it probably won't. It will definitely remind and inspire those who already appreciate self-reliance, freedom, and doing good for others. If nothing else you can gather valuable tips on how to be more responsible and gain control of your life through entrepreneurial and philanthropic efforts. It's one of those books you'll want to read more than once.

relevant and worthwhile

By Michelle on November 2, 2012

Format: Paperback

I highly recommend this book to people of all religions and political persuasions. Although it is written with a perspective of a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS or Mormon) and a self-professed libertarian, the principles in this book are applicable to all walks of life. The author, Connor Boyack, brings a much needed discussion to the table about the importance of becoming self-reliant and gives good advice on how to become so.

Boyack proposes that in order to reduce the cost of government programs and the size of government we must first put ourselves in a position where we do not rely upon government for our necessities. Even liberals who widely support government programs understand that if there is too much pressure on the program it can harm the program, and that the end goal of such programs should be to enable people to stand on their own two feet. I would add that this would even relieve the burden that private charities must bear as they try to fill needs that are not filled elsewhere.

Self-reliance is a message that can resonate with everyone. This book puts it very simply and describes steps that are easy for anyone to follow in order to obtain self-reliance in many aspects of their lives at their own pace.

This book can be an amazing and inspiring tool. If everyone were to follow the advice therein, our nation would quickly be led into a state of increased liberty and prosperity.

Practical guide to liberty

By Travis on October 31, 2012

Format: Paperback

Latter-day Responsibility uses faith and reason to make the persuasive case for individual responsibility. Individual responsibility is the key to reclaiming our individual liberties that our Constitution is supposed to protect. The book outlines clear principles and examples and invites the reader to consider how to put those into practice to reclaim our liberties and to help others do the same.

Some folks just don't realize the extent their liberties have been curtailed but Boyack gives several specific examples of government overstepping its bounds and individuals pushing back. These examples, along with Boyack's commentary and insight, present the problem but then identify the solution.

This is a thought provoking book by a young author. It would be good for everyone to read and contemplate their own life and freedoms. .

Awesomeness!!!!

If we wish to be truly free we must be willing to take responsibility for our freedom, this book explains this line of reasoning perfectly.

An outstanding book that is a must read for every American. Unless we...

It's up to us now. I served for over 30 years in the U.S. Air Force, retired in 1998, and for the first time in my life, I'm ashamed of my fellow Americans.
