Some Book Reviews:Eric rated it & it was amazing!It occurred to me once that the vast majority of the words we regularly read from Joseph Smith are not his own words but things he translated or otherwise received from God. It was a wonderful experience to read this book and finally feel like I knew and understood Joseph. His personality came out and he felt real. My feelings about his prophetic calling went from belief/hope to confidence. He had such a depth of understanding that I continually felt inclined to believe that his wisdom was scarcely matched by even the ancient prophets. Keith rated it & it was amazing!Wow! Reading this book from cover to cover I found it to be a very different book than I thought it was.It contains a number of complete discourses.It contains many things that I had no idea were in there – surprises – things that I will want to refer to again to more completely understand them. Roy rated it & it was amazing!I never could have imagined how much this book would have affected me thus far when I first started. The Prophet Joseph was a complex man. It amazes me how deeply he understood the spiritual matters he brought up and how much he strived to not allow the plethora of bad that was consistently in his life to take him to thoughts he didn’t want. It shocked me how many languages he had taken time to learn about too. Yes, as he himself often pointed out, he was a man, but he was a man who tried his best, a man with callings that he took seriously-everyone of them, a man with deep convictions and compassion. I honor and praise (not worship) him, not because of some blind faith, but because he portrayed so often a level of faith in his own life that could only be shown by a true believer in a being that is worthy of that faith and worship, Jesus Christ. John Robertson rated it & it was amazing!I got this book as a gift from my parents 22 years ago and it has been the best birthday gift anyone ever gave me, period. If you are looking for a summary of LDS doctrine, this is not the right book. It was compiled for an audience that was presumed to already be quite familiar with the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price and Doctrine and Covenants in their entirety. However, if you are familiar with those this book is astonishing in its sheer doctrinal power. I like to use the phrase “post card doctrine” for scriptural insights that typically serve as the basis for a sunday school lesson. We enjoy them when we hear them (who objects to getting a post card?), but they are forgotten almost as soon as they are received and neither the student nor the teacher is apt to remember them two weeks later. They are the light snack of the gospel banquet. This book is the thanksgiving feast of the gospel banquet. You can read it as many times as you like and you still won’t get everything there is to learn from it. Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and the depth, breadth and sheer power of the doctrine in this book is astonishing. I wish I had even a small fraction of Joseph Smith’s knowledge of the gospel. Skye rated it & it was amazing!A book absolutely filled with inspired writings of an amazing man. I loved that it hopped around from subject to subject. It was nice to have quick bursts of insights and quotes on various topics and thoughts. This is a book that I actually go back and thumb through weekly. Love it! Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc.
