One of the things which makes the LDS Church unique is its belief in ongoing revelation. We often thank the Lord for a living prophet. But how often do we actually read what our current prophet says? How familiar are you with what Gordon B. Hinckley has actually said on gospel subjects? Even if you read the Ensign on a regular basis, you're liable to miss out on talks or discussions which happen outside of General Conference.

If you really want to be informed on what the prophet has to say, on any matter, you'd do well to pick up a copy of this book. It's not the kind of book you'll sit down and read from cover to cover, but it is a book you'll find yourself reaching for time and time again. It's a huge compendium of quotes and is arranged topically for ease of use.

The collection of quotes is amazingly complete. You'd be hard pressed NOT to find a quote which relates to any talk or lesson you might give. Not only has are there lots of quotes on doctrine—as you might expect—but also many pages on various topics relating to Church History. For example, the book includes Hinckley's commentary on every single Latter-Day Prophet from Joseph Smith to Howard W. Hunter.

The amount of material included depends on topic. "Abortion" only gets three lines; whereas "Church Government" has thirty-one pages of material. Larger topics, such as priesthood or prophets, are divided into sub-topics for your convenience. Most topics consist of one to five pages of material.

Sources for the material in the book are varied. In addition to the Ensign, there are quotes from firesides, regional conferences, missionary meetings, BYU devotionals, and even press conferences.

A side note: Purists might want to note that many of the quotes predate his ordination as President of the Church. However, all of the quotes were given when he was at least an apostle—and therefore ordained as one of the "prophets, seers and revelators" who guide the church.
