About Product:
"Achievement comes to those who can push beyond their limitations, whatever they might be-those who work when they don't feel like it, those who believe when everyone around them is faltering, those who hang on when hanging on seems almost too much."
Thus Robert L. Backman, one of the presidents of the First Quorum of the Seventy in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sets the theme for Be Master of Your-self. In this collection of forty-eight short sermons delivered on the syndicated radio program You and Your World, Elder Backman presents a plan for achieving greater success and happiness in life. Each chapter has examples and illustrations from the lives and writings of individuals whose example is worthy of emulation. The book is arranged in four sections:
- "Learning to Master Ourselves," which features messages on setting goals, expanding our imaginations, secrets of success, formulas for happiness, the importance of trusting in the Lord, and overcoming despair and death.
- "Overcoming the World," which presents valuable ideas on forgiveness, reverence, overcoming bad habits, ethics, reaching out to others, humor, thanksgiving, and honesty.
- "Our Family Support System," which focuses on the roles of parents and children, the purposes of the family, lessons about love, and how to improve communication in the family.
- "Heroes and Role Models," which highlights individuals who have overcome obstacles in their lives and have succeeded in reaching goals, such as Olympics competitors, national leaders, pioneers, and "quiet heroes," people who are not in the limelight but whose lives and actions have had impact on others.
Be Master of Yourself is a volume of motivating and uplifting messages to be read and enjoyed and to share with others.
