Wanted: (More Than) A Few Good Men
10:03 PM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
You've heard the old adage: A good man is hard to find. That may be true, but as David S. Baxter—a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' First Quorum of the Seventy—argues, they are absolutely essential for the future of families, governments, and societies. As a man who grew up without the loving guidance of a father, Baxter knows firsthand why such influences are so important.

Although Baxter aims his remarks specifically at men of the LDS faith, his message really is for everyone. It's nothing you haven't heard before, but it still provides some great food for thought. If every man (and woman) strove to live up to the ideals Baxter discusses in his book, the world would be a much brighter place indeed.
(Readalikes: Hm, I can't think of anything. Can you?)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for one brief, vague reference to rape
To the FTC, with love: I received a finished copy of What Good Men Do from the generous folks at Cedar Fort. Thank you!

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.
P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!
