Dr. Anderson’s book is elegant, pragmatic, and immediately applicable. She treats the subject in a conversational–but no-nonsense–tone that makes sense, and can work for anyone who will take the time to apply the principles.

It is by no means a pie-in-the-sky work, and I think that’s great, especially given the number of Latter-Day Saints who seem to despair over all their imperfections, and don’t realise that they’re trying to jump past the “Can’t skip” step that she discusses.

Her insights into human behaviour are right on the money. She’s very realistic about the fact that people have faults, while being neither condemning, nor lowering expectations of our potential as children of God.

I’m more than a little glad I bought this book, grateful for the new way of looking at things that it offers. It’s always great to get a fresh view of the gospel, and how it applies in one’s life.
