Beginning with this simple insight, Ted Gibbons, the author of this warm and inspiring book, explores "life's test," an examination complete with a Teacher, a testing center, textbooks, sample problems and a final grade. 
In a unique and refreshing approach to the challenges of mortality, Gibbons examines the rules by which the Test is conducted. 
Don't Quit. Only the Instructor knows how many problems there are and how long the Test will last. Not all problems make sense. Your Test is personalized. Some problems are very difficult, but solutions are always simple. Mistakes can be fixed until the Test is over. You must help others solve their problems. The Teacher loves his students. Be of good cheer. 
Ted Gibbons is a long-time seminary and institute teacher. He has authored many books, including The Road to Carthage, and Sealing the Testimony. In addition to his being a sought-after speaker, he is a regular teacher for Know Your Religion and Education Week. The subject of This Life is a Test is an outrowth of those lessons and lectures.

For most LDS historians, B.H. Roberts set the standard of excellence. Few have matched his attention to detail. The sheer volume of his writings is astounding. Out of print for years, and only available in rare book stores, The Mormon Battalion has been a sought-after work that recounts a time when a contigent of men made an incredible sacrifice that, in a great way, made the Saints' westward trek possible. Preserving much of the original spellings and editorial markings, this limited printing recounts the Battalion's historic 2,000-mile march to the Pacific Ocean. 
Understand the sacrifice. In the words of B.H. Roberts: 
"...it (the Battalion) brought to the volunteers and to the people much sacrifice. The force was to be recruited from among the fathers of families. Practically five hundred wagons were left without teamsters, and as many families were left without their natural protectors and providers. To volunteer for a 'war-march' of two thousand miles, much of which was desert, under such circumstances, was doubly hard. Moreover the Mormon people had little to be grateful for to the government of the United States. To respond to the call was a manifestation of unselfishness not often paralleled in history."
