Never before has any book brought this vital and moving subject into so sharp a focus. This classic book is a major work of substance and power.

Elder Hafen here teaches us how we can again feel movement and find joy in the journey, with both anchor and sail so well set that “the furious wind” that blows “upon the face of the waters” actually hastens us “toward the promised land" (Ether 6:5)
