The Teachings of David O. McKay

Rating:
Summary: Words of a prophet
Review: This book supercedes "Gospel Ideals," the compilation of President McKay's teachings made in 1953. It contains all of the "kernel quotes" found in the earlier book, it also has many of the things that President McKay said after 1953. Key additions are the vision of the Celestial Beings, and his statement about the PPI we will have the Savior when we die.

This book is much easier to read than my yellowed and brittle Gospel Ideals, and is much easier to read. This book also trims down many of the literary allusions that President McKay oftened used, and retains the essential McKay ideas..

You get to know the man through this book. He has a vision of a better society, but was also able to tell Scottish jokes in dialect to get his point a cross. He was not only a perfect human being, but also a holy Prophet.
