"If something isn't aesthetically pleasing or interesting, doesn't require skills I do not have, and makes a stupid point stupidly, I don't appreciate it as art. That doesn't make me a philistine. It makes me a non-rube."

The One with Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford Woodruff

137. Title & Author: Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford Woodruff published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (259 pages)
Genre: Nonfiction--Religion & LDS
Completed: 21 March 2010

Summary & Review:
The life and teachings of President Wilford, the fourth president of the church, are presented using direct quotes from his sermons and teachings as well as stories from his incredible life. The twenty-four chapters cover topics such as understanding death and the resurrection and living by faith.

Although President Woodruff died in 1898, his teachings presented in this book are incredibly applicable and helpful in living a happier life today. As always with this series of Teachings of Presidents of the Church, I appreciate how President Woodruff's teachings are offered without commentary or editorializing.
