IT IS BETTER TO LOOK UP- Life Experiences Shared From The Pulpit

I received a copy of It’s Better to Look Up – Life Experiences Shared From The Pulpit, from Deseret Book Company, for the purpose of this review.  All opinions stated are mine and mine alone.  Your thoughts may be different.

IT IS BETTER TO LOOK UP  Life Experiences Shared From the Pulpit, is a compilation of 56 talks given by leaders/members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.   It is filled with messages of  promise and hope. I loved the photographs as much as I did the talks.  Filled with lessons that we should all take to heart.  One of my favorites, is by Elder M. Russell Ballard, titled Precious Flecks of Gold.  It’s only a few paragraphs long, but the message is mighty. It really struck home with me.  We so often miss precious moments…gifts…teachings, because we are too focused on things of the world.  I’m guilty of this myself.
