Increase in Learning

From the Book Description:

The overarching purpose of Heavenly Father’s great plan of happiness is to provide His spirit children with opportunities to learn,” writes Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. But how can we best learn the things we need to know and do?

Elder Bednar emphasizes concepts, patterns, and processes that invite each of us to act and learn fundamental truths for ourselves. Declaring that answers to our questions always are found in the doctrines and principles of the restored gospel, he provides a framework in this book for learning those doctrines and understanding with our hearts.

 

 

My Thoughts:This was a bit of a let down. It is divided into 4 chapters with Elder Bednar introducing the idea and then talking just a bit on the subject. He then would add a lot of scriptures about the chapter. This was followed by copies of Talks he has given that support the subject of the chapter.
At first I felt annoyed that I had spent the money on a book that included so much already published items, but in going through it found this to be helpful since it made me read it. If the talks had just been referred to I would not have ever looked them all up.
The best part of the book was the accompany DVD of Elder Bednar and his wife talking with several groups of people. I have watched and re watched this several times.
