Bruce & Deonna: Our BYU Graduate

Great Book: Uncommon Friends

Uncommon Friends: Life with Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Alexis Carrel, and Charles Lindbergh by James D. Newton

Love the moral conviction these very successful people had. Love how they were able to understand truth independently. They each based their life on true principles such as Honesty, purity, Unselfishness and love. They knew God was their maker and that they must answer to Him.

Favorite quotes:

This is from the Dr Carrel: Carrel went on to tell about the physical effect of mystical contemplation (Pondering, meditating) "Prayer," he said, "is not only worship, it is the most powerful form of energy that one can generate. The influence of prayer on the human body and mind is as demonstrable as that of secreting glands. Its results can be measured in terms of physical buoyancy, greater intellectual vigor, moral stamina, and deeper understanding of the realities underlying human relationships." pg 135
