When Marvin J. Ashton was ordained an apostle in December 1971, I knew that it was right. He has brought to his work a quiet dignity and the clear light of reason that enhances those around him as well as the work of the Church
The man himself is characterized in the words he speaks and writes. This volume is characteristic of Marvin J. Ashton, a man who feels deeply about the emotional, practical, and spiritual aspects of friendship. To those who come for advice, he listens and counsels with a practical good judgment that blesses lives. In his many years of Church experience he has touched personally the lives of thousands.
In the pages of this book you will find the same wise and practical judgment that has blessed many, and through reading and heeding his counsel, you, too, can experience the same results.
I recommend to you these words of Elder Marvin J. Ashton, who is my friend.
