review 1: I wanted to see how the reporters, who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, thought of Mitt Romney. I think it's hard for people outside of the church, to understand how Mormon's think about serving others. Our church is not just a Sunday church. We live our religion seven days a week. Some of the comments said how square a person Romney is, and how he doesn't have a very exciting life. We don't live the kinds of lives, that many people outside of our church find exciting. The narrator had a nice voice, and delivered the book well. He didn't know how to pronounce words, that any member of our church would know how to pronounce. He couldn't say the name of Nauvoo, and his Moroni sounded like he was speaking Italian. He pronounced Webe... morer like a Weber grill, but that isn't the why it is said in Utah. The authors said Mitt was promoted to be the assistant to the Mission president. The word promoted would not be used in our church. He would have been said to have been assigned to be the assistant to the mission president. We consider all callings in our church to be important. A member of our church should be more interested in helping his fellow man, than seeking power or putting himself on a pedestal. I don't think people in this country could see that in Mitt Romney during the presidential race. The authors did say that Mitt Romney was more comfortable with members of our church. We are taught to be of this world, but not in it. We are to live according to the teachings of our church, and not do the worldly things. Romney wasn't comfortable at parties with drinking, and other things going on that he didn't believe in doing. I believe Romney wanted to help our country, but I think its better for his family, that he lost the presidency. He has a large family, with many grandchildren. I'm sure those children will get more attention from their grandparents now. The book tells a lot of things I didn't know about his background, that I found interesting.
review 2: Impressive legacy and manifesto of a morally upright man of God, a good husband, a good father, a good son, a good boss and a good governor. His track record speaks volumes of all the good deeds he has done. But it is not his fate to be the president of the USA. God has other better plans for him. As it was recorded in the Bible, God often grant the people a bad leader that clamour for one. A president that supports abortion and unnatural unions and other liberal agendas that the people hearts' burn for. Unfortunate consequences of their choice are God's way of teaching these foolish people a lesson. less
