Summary

Deseret Book has released "Teachings of Thomas S. Monson," intended as a companion to the prophet's biography, "To The Rescue." Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of Twelve has also written a book titled, "Life Lessons Learned."

Elder Oaks summarizes each chapter with a principle — the lesson he learned from each experience. His book is organized in three sections, titled: To 1971; Brigham Young University and the Utah Supreme Court, 1971 to 1984; and General Authority, 1984 to Present.

“I have always admired persons who could teach persuasively from an abundance of personal experiences, but this has been so difficult for me that I have rarely been able to do it,” the introduction continues. “Now I feel I must do so. Fortunately, I have the model of other apostles who have written books that teach from many personal experiences.”

“Life's Lessons Learned” will be on the shelves at Deseret Book and other LDS book stores on Sept. 30.
