This Life Is a Test

by Ted L. Gibbons

Beginning with this simple insight, Ted Gibbons, the author of this warm and inspiring book, explores "life's test," an examination complete with a Teacher, a testing center, textbooks, sample problems and a final grade.

In a unique and refreshing approach to the challenges of mortality, Gibbons examines the rules by which the Test is conducted.

Don't Quit. Only the Instructor knows how many problems there are and how long the Test will last.
Not all problems make sense.
Your Test is personalized.
Some problems are very difficult, but solutions are always simple.
Mistakes can be fixed until the Test is over.
You must help others solve their problems.
The Teacher loves his students.
Be of good cheer.

Ted Gibbons is a long-time seminary and institute teacher. He has authored many books, including The Road to Carthage, and Sealing the Testimony. In addition to his being a sought-after speaker, he is a regular teacher for Know Your Religion and Education Week. The subject of This Life is a Test is an outrowth of those lessons and lectures.

I loved this book's look at life. I like the view it gives you of your trials. I definitely think that everyone would enjoy, and benefit from, this book, but it is definitely for those who have gone through a major trial in their life. I have had this book for a long time and never read it but am glad that I finally did.

I love this book. One that you will refer to over and over especially if you are a teacher of any kind. Love the analogies and comparisons...easy to adapt to my own life. Very good book.
