Jeffrey R. Holland

Gorgeous format and style. The book itself is good, just not what I expected. It is less a book, than an index or study guide-- which is fine. But makes it more worth borrowing than really owning.



*Also, there are two typos that I'm sure were a product of the printing manuscript.

Absolutely lovely.

I heard most of these as BYU speeches. I love Pat Holland's talks and find it interesting, as I look at her talks and his, to see the softening or maybe molding that has taken place over the years. As he became a general authority he became more closed about his private life but here, as they both speak and try to convey their love for the students, you get a more personal touch. You see the influence that they have had on each other and the way that continues today.

I picked this book up on a whim last week and the "times of trouble" spoken of came, as you may have observed.

This was a book full of lovely thoughts, easily read and short enough to fit in to the nooks and crannies of your time. But my favorite part was the last chapter.

I'm glad I had this book for these times. Troubled or not, it reminded me of a peace that I don't often take time to feel.
