by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 2010, 50p, rating=5
What a beautiful book cover and more importantly beautiful messages inside! The title in itself is already an uplift. President Uchtdorf is addressing all of us who have ever felt inadequate, discouraged, or weary. He shares two principles that may help to find a path to peace, hope, and joy (even during times of trial and distress) through: (1) the power of creating and (2) serving with compassion. Our venture at bringing something new into existence and as we serve others, we will feel the happiness we so earnestly seek and is inherited of us.
This book really addresses the remarkable soul of a woman by supporting us to remember the great power for good we truly are! We have talents, even when we think we don't, and we can give compassionate service, even in small ways. Thank you President Uchtdorf. I am pumped up!!
This is one of two books given to me as a birthday present from my honorary little sister. Thank you, Mhai! I love this book!!
