David A. Bednar

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 show more 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 particular 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.

I'm glad I started the year with this book. It covers lots of gospel fundamentals that I want to study and ponder this year.

I finished this book a while ago but forgot to rate it. For me this was a book best read in one chapter segments because each chapter has a lot to ponder. I appreciate Elder Bednar's practical and encouraging suggestions for ways to become a better person as we press forward trying to be more like Christ. A cool feature is the bar codes (or whatever they're called) throughout the book that you scan and then are taken to a video clip about the topic. I would like to read the other books in show more the series. show less

I loved the first half of this book. I appreciated the second half but didn’t love it as much.
