Gordon Bitner Hinckley Bücher
Präsident Hinckley war eine leidenschaftliche Führungspersönlichkeit, die unermüdlich arbeitete und die Geschichte zutiefst liebte, wobei er oft Geschichten aus der Pioniervergangenheit der Kirche in seine Predigten einfließen ließ. Sein schneller Witz und sein eloquenter Stil machten ihn zu einem der beliebtesten modernen Kirchenführer. Als zutiefst spiritueller Mann reiste er ausgiebig um die Welt, um sich mit Kirchenmitgliedern in zahlreichen Ländern zu treffen. Unter seiner Führung wurde ein massives Tempelbauprogramm initiiert, ebenso wie die Einrichtung des Perpetual Education Fund zur Unterstützung junger Kirchenmitglieder.

In this national bestseller, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon B. Hinckley, has created a classic look at the values that can change our world--and how to stand up for them. Drawing on anecdotes from his much-admired life of faith and service, as well as examples from American culture today, he examines ten virtues that have always illuminated the path to a better world: love, honesty, morality, civility, learning, forgiveness and mercy, thrift and industry, gratitude, optimism, and faith. He then shows how the two guardians of virtue--marriage and the family--can keep us on that path, even in difficult times. <b>Standing for Something</b> is an inspiring blueprint for what we all can do--as individuals, as a nation, and as a world community--to rediscover the values and virtues that have historically made us strong and that will lead us to a brighter future.
