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

Book Review: Timely, timeless words on living a happy and contented life
Summary: 5 Stars

Gordon Hinckley has written a masterpiece. I believe it will become a classic because this is a book which is both timely and timeless. It is forthright - very to the point - no waffle. Gordon Hinckley employs a very kind - grandfatherly style. Behind good counsel there is also a stern warning. This book is an invitation to every reader to live to a little better; to aim for the highest standards in personal principle and in private and public conduct.

Gordon Hinckley lists the 10 virtues that he believes are critical to leading a happy, productive and contented life. In his 90th year, he uses his vast experience of life and its challenges to recommend remedies and antidotes which bring the promise of better days and good things to come. Hinckley is the 'star' witness in the case for optimisim. He sees a future for humanity which is bright and full of opportunity and that view of things is infectious. Hinckley so infuses the reader with his own brand of enthusiasm for living life to the full that the reader will 'want' to try harder at living better: at being a better person, a better neighbour, a better member of the human race. This book is a reflection of Gordon Hinckley's life-long commitment to Jesus Christ. It is Jesus Christ that is at the centre of this book. That being said, this book is enjoyable and instructive for readers of all faiths or none.

'Standing for Something' makes an impression that means it will be read and reread and passed along. I, for one, am glad I read it. I recommend it. One for the heart as well as the mind.
