"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: Spencer W. Kimball

161. Title & Author: Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (270 pages)
Genre: Nonfiction—Religion & LDS
Completed: 10 October 2010

Summary & Review:
The teachings of President Spencer W. Kimball, the twelfth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are presented in this manual alongside stories of his life illustrating his teachings in action. Some of the topics covered include forgiveness, provident living, integrity, and his personal testimony of Jesus Christ.

I always enjoy entries from this series. Being able to read the prophet's words without a lot of commentary is wonderful. Plus, reading about events in President Kimball’s life that exemplify what he taught show just what an excellent example he was.
