…from my experience as a Mormon missionary, I have found that virtually every philosophy presented by the world contains at least some truth and can be related to the gospel. This sister, however, decided it would be her job to completely erase everything the investigator had learned from her professors and then replace it with the missionary lessons. The climax of her story came when she finally convinced the woman that secular teachings were derived from the adversary, and that all the truth she needed, she could find in the church.

A summer reading list for the thoughtful Mormon reader

Books by Mormon authors included were:
* The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton M. Christensen
* To Draw Closer to God by President Henry B. Eyring

[This] book is not a “how to get rich quick” manual. In fact, it took the RC Willey Company decades to be taken seriously and be courted by the big boys (Buffett and others). Nevertheless, I predict that the book will have a wide appeal. Anyone running a business, or hoping to some day, can learn a lot within these pages.

Business, Mormon-Style

Monday, Jan 29

“The Mormon Way of Doing Business: Leadership and Success Through Faith and Family” (Warner, $25.99) is by Jeff Benedict, a lawyer, author and journalist who lives in Connecticut and ran for Congress in 2002.

The Mormon Way
Dave writes: “The book is a collection of comments and personal experiences related by eight LDS business leaders: five CEOs, a CFO, a business school dean, and a professor/consultant. But the book isn’t structured as a series of biographical essays. It is organized topically, with chapters explaining how the Mormon beliefs and experience of these executives gave them the tools to succeed. More than that: how they managed to successfully balance their professional, church, and family responsibilities so ably. The chapters have titles like “On a Mission” (relating the LDS mission experience to readers, many of whom will not be LDS); “The Road Less Travelled” (about why these executives accept busy church callings despite their weighty professional duties); and “First Things First” (time management secrets to make it all work out).”

Dave goes on to say he finds the chapters after the first 11 most useful for the LDS readers — seeing how LDS CEOs managed September 11th and its aftermath.
