( In the days of the early Christian church, the apostle ...)
In the days of the early Christian church, the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, "my own son in the faith," and exhorted him: "Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." (1 Timothy 4:12.) Today, leaders of Christ's church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, give similar counsel to those who take upon themselves the name of the Savior. In Be Thou an Example, Gordon B. Hinckley, a counselor in the First Presidency of the Church, tells how one can be an example of the believer and outlines some of the basic beliefs of the Latter-day Saints. "Paul never hedged nor quibbled when setting forth the requirements of the gospel of Jesus Christ," he writes. "It is so today. The Lord himself declared that 'strait is the gate and narrow is the way.' Any system dealing with the eternal consequences of human behavior must set guidelines and adhere to them, and no system can long command the loyalties of men that does not expect of them certain measures of discipline, and particularly of self-discipline. The cost in comfort may be great. The sacrifice may be real. But this very demanding reality is the substance of which come character and strength and nobility." Chapters for the book have been adapted from addresses delivered by President Hinckley in general conferences of the Church, and deal with such basic subjects as honesty, forgiveness, self-discipline, avoiding contention, and opposing evil. He writes, as he speaks, with forthrightness and with conviction. Be Thou an Example is a book for every believer!

O que ele pensa a respeito do Profeta Joseph Smith? O que ele disse aos pais, aos membros solteiros da Igreja, aos jovens, aos estudantes, aos líderes do sacerdócio? Ensinamentos de Gordon B. Hinckley reúne em um único volume uma ampla coletânea de exortações e exemplos perspicazes de um grande líder. Encontram-se aqui suas palavras de ânimo e testemunho, seus pensamentos englobando os mais variados assuntos, organizados em ordem alfabética para facilitar a consulta. Os trechos provêm de sermões e textos publicados previamente, assim como de transcrições de discursos e entrevistas nunca publicados anteriormente. Cada página desta coletânea está cheia da energia do Presidente Hinckley, de seu otimismo e do estilo direto que lhe são característicos. Seguem-se breves exemplos dos ensinamentos aqui encontrados: A respeito da velhice: “Envelhecer é mais uma questão de como você se sente, o que pensa e o que se passa em sua cabeça.” A respeito de castidade: “Cremos na castidade antes do casamento e fidelidade total após o casamento. Isso resume tudo. Esse é o caminho da felicidade na vida. Esse é o modo de se ter satisfação. Traz paz ao coração e paz ao lar.” A respeito de famílias: “Aos que vivem num lar conturbado, gostaria de sugerir que permitissem que o amor se torne a estrela-guia da vida em família. Há gritos demais, recriminações demais e muitas lágrimas no lar de alguns de nosso povo. O único remédio é o amor. Ele é o próprio alicerce do casamento. Pode ser alimentado e fortalecido, ou debilitar-se e fenecer. A solução está dentro de nós mesmos.” A respeito do trabalho: “Sem trabalho árduo nada cresce, exceto ervas daninhas. Deve haver trabalho, incessante e constante, quando se almeja uma colheita.” O Presidente Hinckley fez aos santos o seguinte desafio: “Convido todos, onde quer que se encontrem, como membros desta Igreja, a erguerem-se e, com alegria no coração, prosseguirem vivendo o evangelho, amando ao Senhor e construindo o reino.” Os Ensinamentos de Gordon B. Hinckley inspirarão aqueles que são fiéis em todas as nações a atenderem ao vigoroso convite profeta do Senhor.

Ten years ago, Gordon B. Hinckley became the fifteenth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Beloved for his sound counsel, his far-reaching vision, his ease with the media, and his sense of humor, President Hinckley has traveled the world over, addressing huge audiences and small congregations. This volume gathers a marvelous sampling of those addresses, including all his general conference addresses from the second five years of his ministry as prophet, many additional talks selected from his travels, and speeches delivered to the general public. This landmark collection takes readers from Manhattan to Madrid, from Guam to Ghana, and also features talks from several historic satellite broadcasts, including the 175th anniversary of the restoration of the priesthood and the 125th anniversary of the Primary. Particularly poignant are the addresses given on September 11 and 14, 2001, when the United States was reeling from the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Truly, in such troubled times, the greatest comfort comes from knowing we are led by a prophet of God!

Conventional Christian churches have lost the authority of God. Contemporary Christian beliefs are a mixture of the truth and of errors that have been added over the centuries.
