This book caused a lot of pondering as I read it. I was in no hurry for reading of this book to end because I relished the thoughts that it brought on.

I highlighted and made visible on Goodreads thing that struck me as meaningful.

He has a podcast “Filled With His Love”, and a book by the same name, Filled with His Love: Strengthening Our Attachment to God and to Others. Those touched me so much that I bought and read this book also.

I read the second edition kindle version published in 2022.

This was a very impressive book, elaborating on "seeking learning by study and faith".

I strongly recommend it to those who want more from their educational endeavors.

This was one of the first books I found unpacking. I read it in 1 1/2 days! Now I'm going back through and making notes. I know I read it years ago, and wonder what I was thinking at the time. I believe this is a must read!

A good book. It tackles the subject of spiritual learning by covering some of the standard Mormon ideals of education but also by introducing some unique and thought provoking insights about the importance of learning in life and how it should be done.
