Lowell Bennion's book is well titled. He addresses Christian principles thematically, generally emphasizing Book of Mormon scriptures that highlight these principles. His book is comprised of three divisions: 1) Wisdom in Everyday Living, 2) Principles and Ordinances of the Gospel, and 3) Some Universal Concepts. Some of the chapters seemed like Sacrament meeting talks - they had a few stories, a few scriptures, and were centered upon a specific gospel principle. The book is insightful and inspiring at times, thus, it achieves its objective to some degree; of course the degree to which one is inspired or enlightened will depend upon the reader, but some of the more memorable quotations (in my opinion) are captured below. What it is not is an exegetical treatise. Context, author and editorial perspective, historicity, literary function, and other approaches to Book of Mormon studies are absent in this book - it wasn't written for these purposes, rather, it serves as a good representation of Bennion's reflections on Christian principles highlighted by Book of Mormon scriptures.
