Sheri Dew details the life of Gordon B. Hinckley with exaustive research and then relates the facts with eloquent prose. You'll learn more about his family, his travels, his ability to handle tough assignments. You'll receive better insight on his character, his humility, his work ethic, and his sense of humor. This biography does what any good biography should do: Inspire you to do a little better, try a little harder, and believe a little more.

This book tells so many amazing stories about the life of the past LDS prophet. It definitely made me feel like I've been slacking off in life...If you think you are busy and have no personal time, read this book and you'll learn the real definition of "busy", "burnt out", and "overwhelmed". I would highly recommend this book to everyone! It is a really easy read, some great humor, amazing stories, and a great reminder of how wonderful he and his wife were.

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars

Note: This book is almost 600 pages, so it is not really a "weekend" read as I like to call them.
