I initially hated the story of "The Go-Getter", but that is what got me into this book, and I keep coming back to it. "The Go-Getter" is a story of extreme commitment. (Note, goodreads also shows a 1999 edition.)

Initially read in 1990, reread June 2011, and then read it aloud to my family.

I liked it, but it seemed a bit unorganized. Almost as if he had some really good ideas and then threw them all together. The first half of the book deals specifically with commitments and I found several points very helpful. The last bit of the book didn't deal a whole lot with commitments but was great nonetheless. Overall this book strengthened my faith in Christ. I would recommend to anyone with a desire to draw closer to Jesus and who wish to improve themselves.

A brief, uplifting book that has some good thoughts about commitment, missionary work, and several other principles of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, with a tender and beautiful testimony of the Savior in the final chapter.

This was a good book by a favorite speaker of mine. The topic "Commitment" talks about goals, choices and those things we choose to take up our time - are we committed to the right things. Elder Featherstone said: "When a person is committed, he does not allow chance to determine his life's course; rather, he sets goals and then sacrifices to reach those goals." He ended the book by saying, "All our commitments should be centered in Him." This book was a good reminder of things I need to work on and commit myself to.

This is a great book. It helps you look at commitment in a new way.

Fast read. Provides good, wholesome practices and principles to follow. Also, it mentions that people should read more. Funny how that is.
