9/10
I believe that this was the first "Teachings" manual that I read cover to cover. It is also one of three "Teachings" manuals that spans two years having 48ish chapters (the others being Joseph Smith and Brigham Young). It's a good one and he was definitely a very inspired individual.
I will share some quotes:
"If you do not forget to pray God will not forget you, and He will not withdraw Himself from you if you do not withdraw yourselves from Him."
"[W]henever ... temptations became most alluring and most tempting to me, the first thought that arose in my soul was this: Remember the love of your mother."
"Death is really a necessity as well as a blessing, and ... we would not and could not be satisfied and supremely happy without it."
"A gift from God, if neglected, or unworthily used, is in time withdrawn; the testimony of the truth will not remain with one who, having received, uses not the sacred gift in the cause of individual and general advancement."
"One of the greatest evils existing ... is that of ignorance, coupled with indifference."
