"Virtue is too often neglected, if not scorned or ridiculed as old-fashioned, confining, unenlightened," laments author Gordon Hinckley, a 90-year-old ordained leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Even as he enumerates all of America's social ills (including $482 billion a year spent on gambling, rampant child neglect and abuse, school massacres, a pervasive deterioration of values) Hinckley believes there is a remedy. Chapter by chapter Hinckley presents 10 old-fashioned virtues that will return America to the glory envisioned by its founding fathers. These virtues include Love, Honesty, Morality, Civility, Learning, Forgiveness, Thrift and Industry, Gratitude, Optimism, and Faith.
Hinckley makes a compelling case for every one of these virtues, quoting extensively from the Bible but mostly using convincing personal anecdotes (after all, he is an elder with 90 years worth of stories and wisdom). In his glowing foreword, Mike Wallace (of 60 Minutes fame) writes that Gordon Hinckley is an "optimistic leader of the Mormon Church who fully deserves the almost universal admiration that he gets." Clearly, Hinkley has struck a resounding chord with the American populace, including dyed-in-the-wool New York cynics such as Wallace. Word of this book is rapidly spreading across America as simple folk clamor to steer their lives and country with a more virtuous compass.
Book Description
In this national bestseller, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon B. Hinckley, has created a classic look at the values that can change our world--and how to stand up for them. Drawing on anecdotes from his much-admired life of faith and service, as well as examples from American culture today, he examines ten virtues that have always illuminated the path to a better world: love, honesty, morality, civility, learning, forgiveness and mercy, thrift and industry, gratitude, optimism, and faith. He then shows how the two guardians of virtue--marriage and the family--can keep us on that path, even in difficult times.
Standing for Something is an inspiring blueprint for what we all can do--as individuals, as a nation, and as a world community--to rediscover the values and virtues that have historically made us strong and that will lead us to a brighter future.

This book should be in every home library!.......2007-10-10
Hinckley has done a masterful job of reminding us all about the basic, eternal virtues that have always been the core of righteous living. This book is a "shot-in-the-arm". After reading it I felt encouraged to look for ways I can apply these virtues in my life everyday. I'd recommend this book to anyone!
Good is, well, good........2007-08-08
This a small book loaded with great principles. Simple and elegant! I was sorry to see a few mean-spirited reviews directed at it and its author. I agree with the reviewer that said that those bashing the book must not have read it. I suspect that many of these questionable reviewers consider berating inspirational books and their authors a kind of sport. I would kindly suggest that they consider quilting or some other useful hobby in the future.
Standing for Something.......2007-07-19
Gordon B Hinckley hits the nail on the head. We have too few people willing to stand up for their values. Great insights.
What exactly does Hinckley stand for?.......2006-12-17
Apparently Gordon Hinckley hasn't got a clue what he stands for, funny he wrote a book with that title. Hinckley lied about his own churches teachings on national tv. How's that for morals? How's that for standing for something?
A vastly important work that each person should read at least once.......2006-10-10
If you are reading this review, you should know that I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I believe Gordon B. Hinckley to be God's chosen prophet on the earth. I sustain him as a prophet, seer, and revelator, and I believe he is a mouthpiece through which our Heavenly Father gives us, his children, direction and instruction.
That being said, I do not believe that one needs to be a Mormon to find great treasures of knowledge in this extraordinary book. President Hinckley shares with us his insight regarding some of the vital virtures that our world sorely lacks. He speaks of love, honesty, morality, patriotism, the value of industry and hard work, of learning and education, and of many more values that will inspire you to live your life with a higher standard.
Take these next few sentences as my subjective opinion, but I believe this is one of the most important books that a person could read. It should be read often and throughout one's life, at least as a yearly event, if not more frequently.
If any of you who are not Mormon are hesitant about reading this book out of fear that President Hinckley will attempt to convert you, please lay your fears aside. This book is actually quite non-denominational. Throughout his 95-plus years on this earth, President Hinckley has learned much about our world throughout his extensive travels. He has met with countless world leaders and has seen firsthand many of the significant events that have occurred during the last century.
His vast experience allows him to share with us how our individual lives and the world in general might improve if we would adhere to certain ennobling and enriching standards and values.
I don't feel as though I could write any more to do this book any further justice, so I will include one of my favorite passages from the book, in hopes that it will inspire you to read it.
Here it is:
"It is not enough to be good. You must be good for something. You must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for your presence. And the good that is in you must be spread to others. In this world so filled with problems, so constantly threatened by dark and evil challenges, you can and must rise above mediocrity, above indifference. You can become involved and speak with a strong voice for that which is right."
Customer Reviews:
Great daily meditation book!.......2006-11-06
This is a wonderful daily meditation book. We have ordered several copies and read it every day. It has quotes from Mary's messages to the visionaries at Medjugorje along with bible quotes and commentary by the author, Fr. Beyer. Our entire family finds these messages very uplifting and inspirational. We feel so close to Our Lady, so guided and protected, as if she were speaking directly to us. We highly recommend this book to anyone seeking daily spiritual guidance.
Medjugorje Day by Day: A Daily Meditation Book Based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje.......2006-06-20
This is a great book. The one review that is negative is about the truth of the apparitions. That person fails to point out Pope John Paul II (the great) rejected the local bishops negative statement not once but 3 times. Who do you trust the Pope of the Century or some locals who got their egos involved and Unity publishing who is in gross error (Satan is strong Our Lady tells us.) I say the Medjugorje apparitions are REAL and I discerned arduously. I had help from above. This book gives Our Lady's messages in a bite size presentation. She is calling us to Holiness for the last time so we should read these messages seriously and do what Our Lady is saying which by the way is biblical and even just common sense. Stop sinning and start living charity toward our neighbor even when it hurts she says. The apparitions are real and I should add this is not the end of the world but Our Lady will no longer have to appear in her transfigured body to give advice through seers. The world is going to change radically to the good, Thanks be to God, after the chastisements and the miraculous sign on Cross Mountain. So read the book and LIVE THE MESSAGES as the Mother of Jesus has asked us to do, Oh so politely. As a mother would ask. But dad is coming home from work and the belt is next it appears especially for those who don't read and heed the messages which by the way are found in every bible. She is calling us to prayer and fasting, as she did at Fatima to "soften the belt" the Father will inflict on us for our sinful disobedience and lack of love toward neighbor and to change us into being like her son so that our joy will be abundant.....the eternal life in Heaven.

There are issues with this book........2004-04-05
I bought this book when I still believed that the apparitions in Medjugorje were true.
I think that this book contains lies. For example this book gives the story of an American farmer who spends everyday 5 minutes at church. One day he gets sick and Jesus comes to visit him. In the French version of a book by Sister Emmanuel, "Medjugorje, the 90's", there is almost EXACTLY the same story, but in her case it is a homeless man in Paris. Almost all the details are the same! My guess is that someone in the Medjugorje team made up this story that was used and adapted for different languages and countries. I would not trust any word from this book or from other Medjugorje books.
The apparitions of Medjugorje have been condemned by both Msgr Zanic and his successor Msgr Peric, bishops of Mostar, who have authority over Medjugorje.
I really recommend to take the challenge of learning more about the hidden side of Medjugorje by reading as many articles as possible.(...)
It keeps me spiritually tuned-in.......2000-09-23
and always puts me in touch with Our Lady and her wonderful messages from Medjugorje. I was afraid I'd lose the spirit of Medjugorje when I came back to my job and responsibilities, but this book, that I read every morning and evening, keeps me in touch with that spirit and the constant smile and love of the Blessed Virgin.
Book Description
With The Measure of Our Days, Dr. Jerome Groopman established himself as an eloquent new voice in the literature of medicine. In these eight moving portraits, he offers us a compelling look at what is to be learned when life itself can no longer be taken for granted.
These stories are diverse--from Kirk, an aggressive venture capitalist determined to play the odds with controversial chemotherapy treatments; to Elizabeth, an imperious dowager humbled by a rare blood disease; to Elliott, who triumphs over leukemia and creates for himself a definition of success--but each, in the words of Maggie Scarf, "transmute the misery of terrible suffering into a marvelous celebration of the sweetness of human life." Far from medical case studies, these are spiritual journeys of questioning and self-awareness, embarked on by the physician as well as the patient.

Touching and thought-provoking.......2007-07-07
As a nurse who has worked in Oncology, I have found this book very interesting and thought-provoking. It brought back many memories of patients and similar situations. Could anyone ask for a physician any more compassionate than Dr. Groopman? Something for all in the medical field to strive for.
The most touching book on relationships between a good doctor and his patients..........2007-04-14
I don't remember why or where I bought this book. I think it came highly recommended to me, as I have worked in HIV research and bioethics for the disabled for years, not as a job, but because it is what I care about. I think I accidently put this book up to sell, thinking it was another book on these same issues I had read years ago. When I got it out to send to another reader, I realized I hadn't read it. I can read quite fast when necessary and after the first few pages in this book, I realized I did not want to send it until I had read the whole thing. So I read it in one evening, and I am so glad I did.
After just undergoing a horrendous couple of years with my own personal physician who threw medication at me in hopes something would help (and he just made things worse), I needed to be reminded there are outstanding and wonderful physicians out there still who see their work not as a way to make money but a way to make a living and provide for their families while still doing the most they can for humanity. I'd read Groopman's work before. He is a very prolific writer, as well as a physician and researcher into HIV and cancer. I don't know how he does it. The man must not sleep ever, and that also earns my admiration. His patients are not easy ones. They are the more difficult ones, and he see his job as being to give them the most time he can possibly squeeze out of their conditions. And that time he gives them, he makes them as comfortable as possible and as able to continue their life's work...this is what is meant by providing people with chronic illness and even illness whose end result is death with a quality of life equal to that, or better than that, than the life they had lived before. Why? Because they know their time is limited, and they seek to fill their remaining time with the most they can stuff into it. EAch of these individuals have different ideas of what constitutes a meaningful life, and each of them learn something from Groopman during their time under his care, and their stories not only taught Groopman something, but in this book they teach the reader something.
I'd always been one of those people who didn't want to undergo chemotherapy for a cancer that would end in death anyhow. But now I understand from Groopman why you would prolong your time here, as long as it could be done in such a way as to achieve my goals and those for my family and friends, and give something back to others as I have always wanted to do (but often had to put to the side while I raised my family).
This is one of the most compassionate books I have ever read. I hate to send it away but at the same time, I want others to read it. It teaches us to put into practice our religious beliefs rather than just spout them. It isn't enough to say 'this is what I believe.' Groopman teaches us that we can put our religious beliefs into daily practice and do the most good by doing that. I would definitely recommend this book as required reading for all students in all medical fields, even research...as we too often lose sight of the very human faces that we are researching for. By putting a human face on these usually unseen people it forces us to work harder and with more focus on moral behavior, whether as researchers, or as medical personnel in daily contact with those who are suffering. Our job is not to judge, but rather to alleviate suffering... Groopman is an outstanding example to all of us, and I hope to incorporate his teachings in my own life and my own work...

Departing into darkness.......2006-06-27
If Sherwin Nuland hadn't already written "The Way We Die," Jerome Groopman could easily have used the title for this book. Dr. Groopman specializes in cancer, blood-disease, and AIDs patients, so he is very familiar with the way we die. His emphasis in this book is more on the spiritual aspect of dying, although there is also plenty of physical agony and degradation in "The Measure of Our Days."
If I had to sum up the book's theme, it would be: patients who love and are loved struggle hardest to live, sometimes way beyond the point where physicians have given up on them. When they finally do die, their deaths are more fulfilling (easier? better?) than those who die with full wallets and empty hearts.
That sounds kind of hokey, like "Love Story" as written by a doctor, but Dr. Groopman handles the theme very effectively. He's even slightly more optimistic than in his book "Second Opinions," although no one in "The Measure of Our Days" dies as romantically as Ali McGraw. Just the opposite. Most of Dr. Groopman's patients in this book die after extensive chemotherapy, surgery, and physical therapy--the whole painful and nauseous armamentarium of modern medicine (If it hasn't yet struck you how closely physicians resemble the monks of the Spanish Inquisition, you've probably never undergone chemotherapy. Both wield their instruments for our own good).
"The Measure of Our Days" speaks like a modern day Koheleth (Ecclesiastes):
"A man may have a hundred children and live a long life; but however many his days may be, if he does not get satisfaction from the good things of life..., then I maintain that the still-born child is in better case than he. Its coming is an empty thing, it departs into darkness, and in darkness its name is hidden..."
Change 'get satisfaction from the good things of life' to 'love' and I believe you will understand Dr. Groopman's measure of our days.
inspiring tales of truth and human dignity.......2006-05-10
An excellent book of choice for anyone looking to find meaning in the field of health care, who feels swept away by torrents of robotic practices of academic medicine and scientific prejudices.
The Measure of our Compassion through the measure of our days.......2005-12-05
It takes a special person to care for others. Compassion for people comes in different ways and Groopman finds an excellent way to blend both: medicine the way we know it and kind and considerate way to offer care and hope.
This book is a great reading for anyone.
Highly recommended!
Book Description
The ecumenical Iona community worships in the ancient Celtic tradition, while imbuing their prayers with a contemporary commitment to peace, justice, and the rediscovery of an integrated spirituality. The Pattern of Our Days is a collection of Iona's actual liturgies, litanies, responses, and meditations. Like all their prayers, these are honest, earthy, and original. They can be used as is by both individuals or groups, adapted, or tapped for ideas for other acts of worship. Believing that no part of life is beyond the reach of faith, these prayers and liturgies emphasize the whole person praying with both intellect and senses. The material draws deeply from Celtic and Benedictine traditions, as well as the Liturgy of the Hours, but also seeks to actively include all as part of a worldwide church. The wide-ranging themes covered by the prayers and liturgies include pilgrimage, healing, witness, dissent, sanctuary, forgiveness, thanksgiving, cursings, blessings, and more. Designed to encourage creativity in worship, this book is a unique resource for parishes, liturgy-planning committees, small faith groups, and religious communities. It's also inspirational reading for the individual seeker, those interested in monasticism, and those drawn to Celtic spirituality--whether their own roots lie there or not.

The Pattern of Our Days.......2007-07-27
I am pleased the book arrived well within the time frame expected and that it was in excellent condition as described. Thank you!
Gold Star Liturgy.......2007-01-11
The Pattern of Our Days is the 4th book I've purchased from the Iona Community/Wild Goose Publications. In fact, I've purchased Cloth for the Cradle 4 times alone, because I keep giving it away.
If you are responsible in any way for worship/worship planning, any of the Wild Goose books are crucial resources for sign acts and responsive liturgies. These are "book[s] of bits", not whole liturgies, yet each of the books, with a different thematic thrust, brings the Good News into human terms that will help bring your congregation closer to God.
I was especially impressed with some of the healing liturgies in The Pattern of Our Days. Less formal, more immediate than we are normally accustomed to. Perhaps that is why they are so effective.

All The Days of The Life of Alison Sweeney.......2007-09-05
As I have been a viewer for Days of our Lives since it started airing on television, I have watched Ali grow up and wanted to read about her own life and the struggles which she faces in her real life. The only thing was I was hoping for an email address so I could write to Ali and the book did not have it. I have tried her web site but can't seem to get it to work for getting a message to her. Her book is very good, I started it and did not put it down until I was finished.

Amazing book.......2007-05-13
This is a terrific book! Alison Sweeney is not only an incredible actress but she is also a sweet, down to earth person. When I read this book I felt like I really knew her. She has the same everyday struggles as we all do. It was so good to hear someone who is famous being so honest about her struggles such as weight loss. This book is so inspiring and uplifting. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Grat Read even if not a Days Fan!.......2007-03-31
I have watched days on and off for years but was never a huge Sami fan. I picked up this book to read while recovering from surgery. I had heard Ali will be hosting Biggest Loser and I wanted to know more about her.
The book is written with such honesty, like Ali is talking to a friend.
I was impressed by the honesty in her weight struggles and social life issues growing up in show business. I think it would be an inspiring read for any teen/young women struggling with weight, self esteem issues. It is obviosuly a great read for Days fans too.
Book Looks Good.......2007-03-09
I have not had a chance to read the book yet. It was in great condition and looks like it will be good. I like Allison Sweeney so I'm sure that I will enjoy the book when I have the chance to read it.
All the Days of My Life (so far).......2006-11-06
The book was a very interesting insight into Alison Sweeney's life and how she is off camera. She sounds like a person I'd like to meet.
Book Description
When noted anthropologist Barbara Myerhoff received a grant to explore the process of aging, she decided to study some elderly Jews from Venice, California, rather than to report on a more exotic people. The story of the rituals and lives of these remarkable old people is, as Bel Kaufman said, "one of those rare books that leave the reader somehow changed."
Here Dr. Myerhoff records the stories of a culture that seems to give people the strength to face enormous daily problems -- poverty, neglect, loneliness, poor health, inadequate housing and physical danger. The tale is a poignant one, funny and often wise, with implications for all of us about the importance of ritual, the agonies of aging, and the indomitable human spirit.
Customer Reviews:
Great, informative and funny book!.......2003-06-09
This book is an excellent study of the Jewish elderly living in Venice. I had to read it for an anthropology class at UCLA, and, considering it is an ethnography (which are usually dull and straight-forward) it is a really great book! Barbara Myerhoff makes her book extremely interesting to read, especially because of the comical episodes that happen within the context. Her book not only provides a study of the elderly, but also what it means to be a Jew who has survivor's guilt (from the holocaust). The book shows how the elderly are neglected, outcast members of society. A lot of mainstream media is focused towards our youth. Almost all of us will experience old age, and this book addresses that issue. I highly recommend this book, and to see the short film (which won an oscar).
Stilted and Plodding.......2003-04-21
I love to read, but I doubt that this is the kind of book I would have ever read on my own free will. For each little point the author inexplicably feels compelled to ramble for 5 pages. Existing existentials? Symbolic cultural polarities? What the heck is that supposed to mean? Get to the point dude. The text should have been at most, a third its actual length...Indeed the setting is glum, Schmuel is OK but most of the others are portrayed as relentlessly vicious and petty. Not the kind of people you would want to hang around with or get to know for that matter. But none of this matters if the book is at least, overall, interesting and achieves its goals. I am sorry to say that it neither manages to be the former (except for rare instances)or accomplish the latter. Unless its goal is to leave the reader with a vaguely depressing emptiness. What a shame. I have heard that the Prof. Myerhoff, may she RIP, was a dedicated and talented teacher, who while unable to write well in all her books at least had her heart in the right place. Perhaps I would find her other works more enjoyable and would have seen greater titles had she not passed away so quickly.
Anyways I harbor no bad feelings against her. No, the real fault lies with my ... professor, who along with legions of his ... colleagues across the nation, torture countless students with overblown and hyperverbose books and lectures. Take my advice. AVOID THESE CLASSES AT ALL COSTS!

Excellent book to read........2002-06-11
I was required to read this book for an Anthropology class I took at Temple University and this was a great book. The Professor even went as far as locating the video through our video library for the class to view and it was interesting as well. This book was great! I would recommend it for reading even if you don't have to read it for a class!
Loved It!

Read this book! What a powerful testimony--letting God live in your life!!!.......2006-01-26
This is probably the most meaningful book I have read in a LONG time! This man is very clear in his words in speaking about how God has worked and continues to work in his life. Also, it is a easy book to read and understand. I even read for our family worship a story or two from Jim's experiences that he shares. He has the most amazing experiences he has been through. His book has made me want what he has, that walk with God, trusting in HIM...and really letting God lead in my life! I am going to be reading the 'Come to the Quiet' book next, I just got it. And look forward to more information on how to get on the road I should be on, trusting more in God to lead in my life!
Read this book, you will not be sorry! And you will find yourself wanting to share it!!!
Life changing book.......2005-01-27
I have read this book twice, once by myself, then with my husband. Then we lent it to friends, and we recommend it to everyone, along with the Hohnberger's book "Come to the Quiet." This is the life most of us long for...simple, down to earth, a connected family, connected with our Maker. I appreciate so much Jim's heart and his love for God and his family. I have met and talked with Jim and Sally in person, and they are lovely people who take the time to speak with you and you can clearly see their heart for God. Amazing family who did what most of us only dream and talk of. Thank You, God, for this family.
Awesome guide to a better living.......2004-03-09
Mr. Hohnberger found what all of us are still looking for. We believe that God is present all times to support us, however we hardly feel His presence among us. Our lifes are so busy that we forget the precious things. Learning how to stop and get off the train is the most interesting lesson from this book. You should take a break of your really busy schedule and read this master piece. GREAT BOOK. INSPIRED BY GOD.
Personal relationship and Forever Friend..........2004-01-31
This book wonderfully presents God's personal interest in every part of our lives. For whatever reason, the book may not speak the same to every individual. I found myself excited to see such a profound book written to help searchers looking for a more personal relationship with God and to aid in getting beyond several walls that certain practice of religion has built. It further illustrates the true power and freedom found within a continual and personal walk with our Creator and Redeemer that just attending church or schooling at a seminary cannot provide. I can personally testify, with many stories in my life, to the fact that God does care about the minute details of our lives.
Life as God created it to be.......2003-05-17
This book has completely changed my view on knowing and following God's will for my life. At first it is easy to think that one needs to escape the life they currently lead and head for a remote location. But read on to find the real secret to "hearing God's voice".

Great Couciling Guide.......2005-09-14
Great help for prayer phone line, quick scriptual help and quick counciling help. I also use this in one on one counciling in my Stephen Ministry at our church. Reccommended for any Minister.
Wonderful work for all Christian workers including counselor.......2003-05-27
I like this special ministry handbook by Billy Graham and his coworkers very much because it is an insightful and practical guide about Christian workers' various concerns. It gets in touch with emotional topics that really can help ministers of God to be more awre of the emotional needs of both Christians and non-believers.
As emotion is powerful in move people and motivation is one thing that every Christian workers should know and practice the use of them in creative and constructive ways. Positive understanding and use of emotions are beneficial in avoiding conflicts in life and also making happy livings.
I pray that this book can be a great blessing to everyone who serves the Lord with passion, love, and all. Amen.
Great guide..........2003-01-06
3/4 of this workbook is a treasure. Homosexuality, divorce and abortion are covered beautifully. A 4th of this read was a bit dry.
Substantive reasons to give the Living God your problems........1999-03-07
This book is uplifting for those of us who have failed in areas of our lives which are important and for which we feel disappointment. Dr. Graham confronts all areas of life, including life itself, and presents the powerful proof that God loves us in spite of our failings. He also focuses in on the IMPORTANCE OF YOUR LIFE so that you may understand better why YOUR LIFE IS IMPORTANT even if you sometimes think it isn't. If you have failed in an important area of your life or if you have children or friends who need substantive words of encouragement, or if you simply need encouragement, you will find this book a valuable resource.
"It's like a glass of fresh iced tea on a hot, dry, dusty day in Texas."
Thanks again Dr. Graham for submitting your life and works to our Maker.
