   Books Read in 2016 (3,691) Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  bread2u | Jul 1, 2020 |   NOTE: published in 2002, so before all of the baleful affects of 9/11/2001 came to pass, but still (or even more) relevant. Not preachy, but a common-sense description of the attitudes that allow us to "live after the manner of happiness" with anecdotes from his own life (90+years).

From one of the world's foremost spiritual leaders, an inspiring book that provides young adults and their parents with a game plan for leading a better life. This inspiring, upbeat, life-affirming book shows teenagers and their families how to navigate through the moral minefields of contemporary life and how to truly enjoy the opportunities and blessings that the modern world has to offer. Drawing upon his faith as well as his personal experience, Gordon B. Hinckley provides his readers with a game plan for discovering and embracing the things in life that are valuable and worthwhile. He shows how our lives are shaped by the decisions we make every day about personal behavior -- and he shows how to make the right decisions with the help of nine guiding principles. With its vivid anecdotes, invaluable precepts, and timeless wisdom, Way to Be! will be a source of both inspiration and practical advice for young people everywhere who want to lead better, fuller, more satisfying lives.

(Page 57)

Potts came across George Washington praying & wrote his wife "I have this day seen what I never expected. The knows that I always thought the sword and the gospel utterly inconsistent; and that no man could be a soldier and a Christian at the same time.
