“If you would grow and be happy, help others to grow. Be a helper, a lifter, a builder.” These words by Bryant S. Hinckley, father of President Gordon B. Hinckley, are typical of the elder Brother Hinckley’s attitude toward life. The majesty and immortality of human beings and their infinite possibilities for joy through service and adherence to high ideals were the theme of his life’s work. This classic book, first published in 1958, is a compilation of short articles and stories that will provide help and inspiration to all who read it. Teachers, leaders, and speakers will find it a helpful source of material for lessons and talks. Perhaps the book’s greatest value will come to those who pick it up at random and from its pages receive comfort, encouragement, and faith to meet life’s everyday problems and to strive for better and finer living.
