[Christopher Angulo · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a nice devotional read with some profound insights.

I took to long reading it to form an accurate opinion. i don't think i'll find a reason to read it again. most of the snippets of worth can be found elsewhere.

Sometime after the 1967 issue of this 77 page booklet (including the 15 page forward by Sterling M. McMurrin), I was introduced to it. I found within its pages a glorious effusion of light that began my study of the Gospel in a wholly new perspective. I found truths noted by the author, quoted of Joseph Smith, that I'm not sure had been presented in this manner ie. simply and maturely. The Gospel was no longer a primary lesson but a developing philosophy that satisfied questions of doctrinal import. Keys were presented in a logical sequence whereby one could understand, to a different, higher degree, the Gospel, on a level not really possible before.
This would not be for all members of the Church but I found it one of the most important book(lets) I've ever read.

Elder Roberts has some great insights heretofore neglected by LDS scholars.

[Tom · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read via Project Gutenberg. Roberts' thought is fantastic and this is no exception.

Interesting for its approach.

A quick read, focusing mostly on doctrinal contributions of the Prophet.
