This book is POWERFUL -- yet very PERSONAL.
It is as if Elder Holland is having a one-on-one private chat with each of us.
Each chapter has a unique message of guidance, hope, and comfort.
Each chapter also starts with a "beautifully designed quotation" to visually help bring that message into our hearts.
In one of the chapters Elder Holland talks about being a friend...one who will help lift us up, not beat us down.
Elder Holland wants to be that friend
And so each chapter starts with the phrase "to my friends ____."
* To My Friends Who Love the Lord
* To My Friends Who Want To Change
* To My Friends Who Have Not Understood God's Grace
* To My Friends Who Face Opposition
* To My Friends of Other Faiths
* To My Friends Who Face Temptation
* To My Friends Who Seek Happiness
* To My Friends Who Feel Alone
* And More
As you read you will feel of Elder Holland's love...
But more importantly you will feel of the Savior's love.
"I am grateful for the greatest friend any of us could ever have,
the Lord Jesus Christ."
It has the potential to change hearts, minds, and lives.
