Standing for Something : 10 Neglected Virtues That Will Heal Our Hearts and Homes

Summary: Utopian idea from him?
Review: Gordon should live by what he states. He condones a religion that most people realize is dishonest. He has great ideas that I wish were possible. He should start with the church he leads. Honesty and integrity are what is needed and yet most of society does not know of the ills of his church. He's a "prophet" of God. Is that honest? His ideas on family are super, but polygamy was a perverse idea that used to be promoted by his predecessors. Only until normal society intervened did this sick tradition get stomped out. I truly wish Gordon would get his very own to act the way his book suggests. What a truly utopian idea that needs to be expressed, but he needs to start by looking in the mirror and fixing what he has control over first.

Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: "Standing for Something" is a masterpiece. Hinckley not only writes amazingly well, but what he has to say is truly amazing. While others focus pessimistically on many of the problems of society, Hinckley shares proven solutions that anyone can implement. A must read for all those willing to make a difference in the world.

Summary: Powerful Message
Review: At a time when many look to the government for help it is refreshing to see there are those who still believe that happiness comes from within. I for one believe the message found in this wonderful book.

Summary: Give the words in this book a few hours of your time...
Review: ...and the words just might find their way to your heart. I remember portions of this book in the most stressful moments. Then I am reminded of the more important priorities in my life, and perhaps even what I should be doing instead of what I am doing in that useless wasteful moment.

Summary: MASTERPIECE FOR CLEANSING THE MIND OF ROTTEN INPUT
Review: This book is so enlightening. So many are so brainwashed. As Gordon Hinckley says in his book, "Negativism sells." The cure: "accentuate the positive" instead. This is just one example of the many solutions to common marital problems, parental dilemmas, co-worker and employee conflicts found in President Hinckley's book. I appreciate President Hinckley's courage to rebuke and his sense of humor. What a great man. This is a must purchase for all who care about being and doing good. It's a keeper to refer back to as well.

Summary: A BOOK OF HOPE FOR OUR NATION
Review: This is a wonderful book. Easy to read, but full of wisdom. The ten virtues are scripture based, but are really just common sense. The author uses quotes from the Bible and great literary works to get his point across. Most enjoyable were the stories from his childhood and years as an ecclesiastical leader. This book gives you hope for our families and our nation.

Summary: Simple Read. Along the lines of Bennett's Virtues
Review: This book reminds me of Bennett's Book of Virtues. Easily read in a few sittings. Excellent aggregation of facts and stories. A must read for all who believe in the divine nature of the human spirit and a higher authority to whom we all must make an accounting. Hinckley shows himself to be among the top moralists of the decade. I would like to see more books in this genre from Schuller, Bennett, Hinckley, etc. Great pick-me up.
