The World Needs More Books Like This One!

From the introduction of the thought-provoking concept of "Therefore What", Rob Eaton presents important principles in a way that sheds new light on Christian values and makes the reader want to take the next step - actually incorporating these values into one's everyday life. No matter where you are in your spiritual progression, this book will help move you closer to Christ. With insights on finances in the Kingdom of God (on what should your money be spent), spiritual combat, record keeping, the nature and role of adversity, effective family time, and so much more, this is a must-read book!

Helpful thought after helpful thought

I've read many books that are heavy on insight but provide little practical application. I've read many others brimming with practical suggestions on how to live life, but which contain precious few interesting ideas to give any real depth to the advice. Both are nice, but neither entirely satisfying. It is therefore delightful to read an essay that combines both as smoothly and inspiringly as Eaton's "Pahoran Principle" (in a chapter toward the middle of Digging Deeper). This chapter of Digging Deeper struck me particularly hard, but others are equally strong, with thoughts on individual Book of Mormon stories and verses presented in very readable and consistently thought provoking pieces. This is a great book for the scripture reader who wants to think "that's an interesting twist I hadn't thought of before," followed shortly by "that would really help me as I deal with _____." For me there were any number of vexing problems of my own that I inserted in the blank as I was reading, and I came away both inspired and motivated to move forward on them - and with new thoughts on how to do it.
