Teacher. Administrator. Scholar. Husband. Father. Friend. Neighbor. Christian. Humanitarian. Lowell L. Bennion is all these and more. For some sixty years he has influenced the lives, thoughts, and actions of countless individuals through his writings, teachings, and service in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his leadership and example in various community organizations. The Best of Lowell Bennion presents representative selections from his books, articles, lessons, and other writings. "Dr. Bennion has spoken in more essays and books, over a greater variety of subjects, than perhaps any other contemporary Mormon," writes Eugene England, who selected and edited the materials in the book. "His voice has spoken with a simplicity and clarity like water in a dry land, in favor of positive, integrated religion, in support of a unified philosophy of life, grounded in affirmative and universal principles. . . . He is both a fine thinker about the great theoretical principles on which our practical, living religion is based and a fine practitioner of those principles."
