review 1: Elder Holland has always been a favorite but now I put him at ALL TIME FAVORITE because in this book he talked about Harry Potter! Any apostle that references Harry Potter in his book is NUMBER 1!!!! This book is perfect for everybody because it is catered towards a wide audience! It had so many good thoughts and inspirational stories! Mine is now an extremely highlighted edition! I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs a little bit of a spiritual lift! "Despite any trials and concerns you have, I want you to think the best and hope the best and have faith in the future. You have a great life ahead of you. Your Heavenly Father loves you. If any mistakes have been made, they can be repented of and forgiven...You have everything to live for and plan for and believe... more in. To have the approval of your conscience when you are alone with your memories can allow you to feel the Spirit of God in a very personal way. I want you to enjoy that Spirit, to feel that confidence in the presence of the Lord always.""We should honor the Savior's declaration to "be of good cheer" (Indeed, it seems to me we may be more guilty of breaking that commandment than almost any other!) Speak hopefully. Speak encouragingly, including about yourself. Try not to complain and moan incessantly. As someone once said, "Even in the golden age of civilization someone undoubtedly grumbled that everything looked too yellow."""God expects you to have faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future (that sounds pretty grim and stoic); He expects you to embrace and shape the future-to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities. God is anxiously waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe."
review 2: Elder Holland, an apostle in my Faith-The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is one of my favorite speakers and authors. His insight, knowledge and tender way of teaching never fails to touch my heart. I learned many things while reading this book about the Savior and how the power of the atonement can be used to heal broken hearts and give faith and courage to help one face the challenges of this life. less
