How wonderful to have so many of President Monson's words together. There are conference addresses since April of 2008 and then the rest are firesides and other times he has spoken. Many are to young men and women. The conference addresses are dated, but there are no dates or places for the other talks. That would have been interesting to know.

This is a compilation of some of President Monson's talks. I read a couple of talks a day over the last month or so and loved the examples and quotes throughout that urge me to serve others--not necessarily in big grandiose gestures but in everyday niceties.

Fantastic! It's inspiring and uplifting--definitely a book I'd like to own. One of the lifestyle changes I made from reading it is adopting the habit at dinner of asking everyone at the table what he did for someone else today. It has helped our family be more consciously service oriented. That came from his talk "What Have I Done for Someone Today?" He referenced Dr. McConnell, the man who developed Tylenol. That's what his father asked the family every night at dinner and it inspired him to become a doctor and help people.
On the last page from his talk "Be A Light to the World" he says:
"Our opportunities to shine are limitless. They surround us each day, in whatever circumstance we find ourselves. As we follow the example of the Savior, ours will be the opportunity to be a light, as it were, in the lives of those around us--whether they be our own family members, our coworkers, mere acquaintances, or total strangers."
It was the perfect note to end the book on since it's the Christmas season and I've been participating in the #lighttheworld campaign found on mormon.org.

Un libro absolutamente inspirador, lleno de historias motivadoras, de esas que te abren los ojos sobre aquellos pequeños detalles de la vida que revelan la mano de Dios, siempre pendiente de cada uno de sus hijos. Thomas Monson no solo es un hombre muy observador, reflexivo y servicial, sino que quien escucha sus palabras o las lee, puede saber por sí mismo por qué es el profeta de Dios en este tiempo.

Absolutely fantastic. It was so good to go back and re-read these talks, many of which I've read before or heard when they were first given. Highly recommended.
