It was a sacred experience for me to consider the Restoration from such a sequential, powerful angle. I felt stretched spiritually, magnified with perspective and calmed by Covey’s wisdom and intelligence. I found myself consuming one chapter after the next. It is an ambitious project, tackled with discipline, sensibility and passion. He wants to discuss ideas that can lead us to the kind of life God and Christ live. So in this work, Covey moves beyond the universal, without apology.

These require more – principles, covenants, and ordinances on an entirely different level” (xiii – xiv). But many of the greatest challenges, deepest desires, and richest opportunities in life and eternity can never be met by these principles alone. Covey explains, “These principles, when lived, will lead any person or organization to greater effectiveness, peace, happiness and contribution. Most of Covey’s books, like 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, focus on universal and timeless principles with which persons of any or no faith can identify–integrity, kindness, service, fairness, continuous improvement and so on. It strives to bring readers to a whole new level of conversion, understanding, religious practice and personal efficacy. The model is fascinating, squeaky clean, makes perfect sense, and will help readers examine life from a heightened perspective.Ħ Events is Covey’s first book written specifically for an LDS audience in a long time. Covey utilizes six events of the Restoration as a model for solving life’s problems. 6 Events was twenty years in the making, a long-term project for Covey, the result of unchartered thought and creativity. Covey’s latest work does offer “life-changing” advice. Arveseth New Life-changing Adviceĭeseret Book trumps this publication as “New Life-changing Advice from Stephen Covey.” That’s a strong, assertive claim, but any skepticism I had about such a claim was quickly squelched.
