About the Book:Shortly before His crucifixion, Jesus Christ consoled His followers, saying, "In the world ye shall have but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). In the book "Be of Good Cheer," Elder Marvin J. Ashton, a respected member of the Council of the Twelve in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, imparts his wisdom on the pursuit of happiness. Elder Ashton delves into topics like pure religion, enduring trials, making righteous choices, shouldering our burdens, practicing discreet charity, demonstrating commitment, promptly doing what is right, breaking free from destructive habits, attaining spiritual and social maturity, embracing the priesthood, discovering inner peace, and living courageously. He replaces doubt and despair with hope and encouragement. Elder Ashton reminds us that maintaining a cheerful disposition allows us to transform life's challenges into opportunities. With optimism, bearing our burdens can lead us to happiness. He emphasizes that when we invite Jesus Christ into our lives, cheerfulness illuminates our path. Derived from Elder Ashton's inspiring talks, "Be of Good Cheer" serves as a gift of happiness cherished by Latter-day Saints and their friends worldwide. It offers profound insights into living a fulfilling and joyful life, rooted in faith and a positive outlook. About author, Marvin J.
