About Product:
President David O. McKay endeared himself to all people with whom he met because of his universality and his sincerity. He possessed an eminent degree of communication to men, women and children from all walks of life. His knowledge of literature and his own ability in writing gave force and power to influence countless individuals. He had the charm and versatility to be at ease among rulers and leaders of the world, as well as being a potent force to the lowly.
During his long and brilliant career as a religious leader, the world gained in material things, in science and invention. He was cognizant of the marvelous progress of man, yet at the same time he spoke and wrote of our need to recognize the true and lasting values of life-belief in and reverence for Deity-Peace-and the Brotherhood of Man.
He awakened anew the hope in the philosophy found in the principles of Christianity as opposed to agnostic thinking. The ultimate goal is a good character. All mankind has the capacity to reach for something higher and finer by mastering his baser impulses.
The pages of this book are to help us re-live and understand the messages he imparted to us and to inspire us with hope for today and the years ahead. He has given to us a profound analysis of his attitudes toward the spiritual state of mankind. His life, his works, reflect a deep respect and love for the goodness of his fellowman. Happiness, he believed is to be found in the family relationships as they reflect the eternal principles of love for one another.
Henry A. Smith travelled extensively with father and reported his messages to the press. I am grateful to him for reading the proofs of this manuscript and for his valuable suggestions. I am also deeply indebted to my wife, Alice, for her encouragement and help.
