Best Book in Ages: To the Rescue: The Biography of Thomas S Monson


I loved this book. This is one of the best books I have read (especially recently). It is inspiring and filled with amazing stories, great poetry, and hilarious anecdotes. Furthermore, it is a testimony of Jesus Christ and His servent, Thomas S Monson, who I know in my head and in my heart to be a real prophet of God.

The final portion of the book covers some of the truths he has taught--
*"When God speaks and man obeys, that man will always be right"
*"Whom the Lord calls, the Lord qualifies"
*"Decisions determine destiny"
*"When you are on the Lord's errand, you are entitled to the Lord's help"
*"Your decision to think right, choose right, and do right will rarely if ever be the easiest course to follow"
*"You do not find the happy life--you make it"
*"The power to lead is the power to mislead, and the power to mislead is the power to destroy"
*"Good habits...are the soul's muscles; the more you use them, the stronger they grow"
*"Life is like a candid camera; it does not wait for you to pose"
*"The door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people's lives"
*"As we look heavenward, we inevitably learn our responsibility to reach outward"

Mom and Dad are both reading it now and they have both commented on how great it is to me individually.
