This book covers significant questions and answers regarding our God-given blessings. It first discusses issues concerning both our early-life nature-oriented blessings and the ones later in life, which are goal-oriented. The point is that currently in life each of us is blessed with a God-given goal for our remaining time on earth. The book initially addresses what a blessing is, where it has come from, how important it is, and what our responsibilities for achieving it are. The most significant part of the book involves eight major blessing areas, including friendship, love, and religion. The largest value to you is coverage of each of these areas with detailed definitions of blessing statements, visions, action plans, goals, and performance measures. These examples will help identify and address your specific God-given goals. Another inspiring, supportive part of each blessing area is a poem. The subject for each poem is for the blessing statement to help emphasize the important mindset you need to achieve that particular blessing goal. If desired, you can adjust, add, or subtract the verses and words to these poems as needed to make them more appropriate for your goals and meaning in life. Overall, the book addresses God's goal for our lives as defined by the blessings He has given us. The book's approach may likely result in more detailed understanding of your blessings and provide an improved chance of success. More importantly, the book emphasizes an approach that will improve our lives as God's children.

The hereditary office of Presiding Patriarch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, first occupied by the father of the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, had long seemed the focal point of a struggle for authority between those appointed and those born to leadership positions. Irene Bates and E. Gary Smith, who conclude that the office's demise in 1979 was inevitable, chronicle its history and find it to be a classic example of Max Weber's theory of the "routinization of charisma". From the creation of the patriarchal office in 1833 to its demise, the authors illuminate the tensions between the leadership circle of the Council of Twelve, headed by Brigham Young, and the potential rival power center of the Patriarch. This struggle is related, in turn, to the one between the Smith family and the rest of the Mormon leadership. Also illuminated are recurrent struggles between the president and the Twelve over the patriarchal issue. Bates and Smith argue that the real source of dissonance between the patriarchs and other church leaders was the impossibility of melding familial authority (the Patriarch) with official authority (the structured leadership of the growing church).
