I started reading this 365 day devotional at the beginning of the year to start off my day with something inspirational.
Ironically, President Hinckley just passed away, but he'll still be with me each day before I leave my home.

It was a Christmas gift when I met the prophet while on my mission. I love daily scripture and spiritual thought, perfect for days when you don't have time to read as much scripture as you like.
I've decided recently to try this book again. I have no issue with it, or its contents. I love Gordon Hinckley. It's a great little book with great little thoughts.
My rating is more an indictment of the style. I have never been one that loves the 365 day inspirational message type book. It feels like it should be in calendar form, and I'd flip through it as eagerly as a Far Side or Most Amazing Facial Hair calendar.

I love having these little gems handy. I use it for FHE a lot. It is dated, 365 quotes. I like going to todays date and it seems like the quote is written for that specific day in my life.
I also love the way this book feels. It is small and chubby with a padded cover.
It make s a great gift, also....

This is set up to be a daily read. I started to do that but went ahead and just read it through. I got alot of insight from this book. I can see the benefit that comes from starting the day with a good thought. I will probably use it as it was intended starting next year.
This is a great book for a daily thought that our family likes to read along with our daily scripture study. Or sometimes if we don't get to scriptures until the evening then this is a good quick thought for the morning to start the day.
This is a fun little book of scripture with commentary by President hinkley. I love his comments. It is a great way to spend just a few minutes inviting the spirit into your day and learning a little something about the gospel.
The messages in this book are wonderful, perfect if you are looking for little snippets. I just prefer a more narrative book, rather than "daily inspirational messages." I didn't realize that was what it was going to be.
I found some thoughts and quotes in this book that really helped me through some hard times... i was moved by this book. I really enjoyed reading it and i will always remember the things i learned from it.
This book takes a year to read. It was really good! It has everyday of the year and each day it has a scripture and quote to go with that day. I really enjoyed this book!!! It made my day a lot better.
i am reading this book right now but not going on with the days, i will do that next year but i really really really wanted to read it...sorry you don't really want to know that....:)
Love, Love, Love this book, it gives awsome advice and encouragement for everyday living. I try to read one or two pages with my kids each day....I hope it helps make them better people.
Great table book to have around when you need a pick me up or want something around for people to glance at while hanging out at your house. I sure miss him.
You can always count on Gordon B. Hinckley for some guided self improvement. I could read this book a hundred times and still learn something from him.
A quote for every day of the year. I love to pick this up and flip through it when I'm having a rough day. Very uplifting.
A book to reread over and over. I need a new copy, mine has been looked over so many times it is now falling apart.
Great little quote book for talks, missionary letters and blogs. President Hinckley has great words of wisdom.
This is a really great book that can be read over and over, the advice is timeless and loving from a very wise man.
this book is now permanently currently reading I have dedicated to start my scripture study daily with this book.
This is a short devotional-type book. My husband and I would read a little of it before we went to bed. Every day has a scripture and then a short quote from President Hinckley. Not a scripture-reading replacement, obviously, but a nice little book to have.
It was given to us as a gift (I think). I'm not much into books that you have to read page-by-page throughout the whole year. I just forget to read it and then it's "Oh, it's June now and my bookmark is in March. I'm a loser."

I loved reading these quick, little inspirational stories when I was in high school (or right after.)
I LOVED THIS BOOK I READ WITH MY FAMILY ALL THE TIME IT ALWAYS HELPED ME HAVE A GOOD DAY AND ATTITUDE
Great little thoughts and quotes... one for each day... great things to think of each day!
I love this book! Little gems of wisdom for every day of the year! You can open to the date every day and read an inspirational thought. Great little tid-bit of goodness to read every day! :)
Have read this a couple times...love the scriptures w/ Pres. Hinckley's thoughts together:)
This was a book that made my mind ponder. I loved the "thought of the day style".
Inspirational, down-to-earth, and great bite-sized pieces of counsel on every page.
This book is awesome. Just a little uplifting thought for each new day!
I absolutely love this book! :) A cute little reminder every single day.
