Stories From My Life

By Elder James E. Faust

There isn’t really a synopsis for this particular book since it’s a compilation of stories and little snippets of talks given by Elder Faust. I’ve had this book for about 5 years, my grandmother having given it to me. She used it for her own Family home evening lessons. The stories are at average just 2 pages each, being on all kinds of topics ranging from honesty, to nurturing faith, to poise under pressure. I really enjoyed it as a little refresher thought book with short but poignant messages. A great book of insights from a truly wonderful apostle.

P.S. I couldn't find a picture of the book, so I just got a picture of Elder Faust. :)

A Note About My Ratings

Ratings below each book are out of 5.

1 is me basically saying "I loathe you. And Your dog."

2 is me wondering, "Why was this book published?"

3 is me saying, "It's average. I have no love or hate; it's fine."

4 is me smiling through the whole book and saying, "Nooooo....don't end!"

5 is me having an existential crisis because it reached parts of my soul that I didn't know existed.

Ratings of 4 and 5 are usually books I end up reading more than once and want to own or already do.

I also try and have content warnings within my reviews or at the end of them so you'll never have to worry about getting hit with a book you thought you'd like but it swears like a sailor, has gore, violence, or sexual content. If I haven't said anything about content it's a good indicator that it is clean. It may have a few swear words, but otherwise safe to read.
