Of optimism President Gordon B. Hinckley has said: "Looking at the dark side of things always leads to a spirit of pessimism which so often leads to defeat....I have little doubt that many of us are troubled with fears concerning ourselves. We are in a period of stress across the world. There are occasionally hard days for each of us. Do not despair. Do not give up. Look for the sunlight through the clouds. Opportunities will eventually open to you. Do not let the prophets of gloom endanger your possibilities." Indeed there is "sunlight through the clouds." In this volume readers will find a dose of that sunshine to gladden their hearts and improve their spirits. Full of stories on topics such as faith, family, missionary work, feeling the Spirit, and enjoying the lighter side of life.
