review 1: All of us are striving to be better, but sometimes it's hard to really get a feel for how we are supposed to get there. As we work towards perfection, it's easy to get bogged down in the details of life. However, we do have amazing potential if we can only see it. This book works to have us truly see what our potential to become is. Each chapter offers observations of different areas that we have the power to become stronger in. These areas will ultimately make us much better people. Full of thought-provoking quotes and scriptures, this book gives people inspiration to truly work towards becoming everything we have the potential to be.I found this book to be very inspiring. There are so many quotes that I'm not as familiar with but offered so much wisdom and hope. In parti... morecular I liked the chapter about personal peace. There were so many examples of how people in extreme circumstances found amazing amounts of peace. I strive to be able to find this in my everyday life. I also enjoyed how interactive this book can be. There are super wide margins to take notes, and each chapters ends with questions and spaces to write down your answers. This allows for a lot of thought and inspiration as you read this book. Add in all the videos, and these lessons taught in this book go beyond just what you read. If you are looking for words of wisdom and hope, look no further. This is a great book.Book provided for review.
review 2: This is the third book in a series of books exploring the Savior's Atonement and how we apply it to ourselves. The first book was LEARNING. The second was ACTING. The third is BECOMING. It is not enough to merely believe or act but by being actively engaged in becoming perfected and becoming God's sons and daughters, it becomes an intrinsic part of who we are. This is not a nice little book with pat platitudes that make us feel more spiritual. This is a book that the reader can fully engage. Purposely written with wide margins for personal notes, the author and publisher collaborated on a new format for delving deeper. At the end of every chapter are questions to explore and plenty of space to write thoughts and impressions. Additionally, the reader can scan the QR code or type in a web address that directs the reader to the publisher's site and watch videos that Elder Bednar and his wife discuss with a group these pertinent ideas.My favorite chapter gave me a promise of personal peace. Drawing on scriptures, conference talks, and other discourses, Elder Bednar gently led me to a convincing stance that I can, through my Savior, enjoy the blessing of personal peace as I walk on the path of "becoming."When choosing to study this book, prepare for a journey. Prepare for the incremental steps of becoming. less
