I Will Lead You Along

The Life of Henry B. Eyring

By: Henry B. Eyring, Robert I. Eaton

Narrated by: Jeff Simpson

Henry Bennion Eyring was born on May 31, 1933, in Princeton, New Jersey, bearing the first name of his father, who was fast building a reputation as a brilliant scientist, and the family name of his mother, who didn't care for the name "Henry" and insisted that he be called Hal. In 1970, Hal received an impression to make a daily record of his activities. Years of journals form the backbone of this personal biography, a candid look at his walk through life with his beloved companion, Kathy. "The journal shows how a good-but-imperfect man works each day to win divine approval," write the authors, and this window into his past provides unforgettable insights about the man the Lord has shaped him to become. President Henry B. Eyring's professional, academic, and personal experiences have all combined to make him uniquely qualified for his responsibilities as a member of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His life story vividly demonstrates the power of the Lord and the example set by one who strives to follow His commands.

Wonderful Life and Principles, Incredibly Dry Prose

I love Elder Henrie B. Eyring, and I am sure he’s lived a full and interesting life, but the way this author writes is so incredibly dry that I find it corrosive to try and make it through even if I speed it up haha. Nothing personal against the Elder Eyeing or the author, I just can’t stand how dry this is, like listening to someone read me a bullet list.

Inspiring

I found this book both interesting and inspiring! It made me want to be a better person.

His faith in the lord Jesus Christ.

I just his story of his life as keep the commandments and love for his wife and children and friends.

too many unneeded details

This book tells details about everyone who interacted with Hal Eyring. I found it boring and tedious, and I don't know anymore about Elder Eyring than I did before I started.
