Prezident Hinckley byl vášnivým vůdcem, který neúnavně pracoval a hluboce miloval historii, do svých projevů často vplétal příběhy z pionýrské minulosti církve. Jeho rychlý vtip a elokventní styl z něj učinily jednoho z nejoblíbenějších moderních církevních vůdců. Byl hluboce duchovní muž, který neúnavně cestoval po světě, aby se setkal s členy církve v mnoha zemích. Pod jeho vedením došlo k masivnímu programu výstavby chrámů a zavedení Perputuálního vzdělávacího fondu pro mladé členy církve.

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.
