It was in Beau Herbert's ordination to the Aaronic priesthood, that his stepfather urged him, "Choose your heroes wisely!" In looking back, Beau wishes he had listened. Jesus Christ: A Perfect Hero identifies both the positive and negatives influences had upon the youth and young single adults of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by their idols. The question is then raised, "Is there not a Perfect Hero for these young people to follow after?" Beau Herbert provides the answer, "Yes, even Jesus Christ." A Perfect Hero proceeds through a study of His existence: His pre-mortal glory, birth, youth, ministry, and great atoning sacrifice to prove Him to be that faultless figure. A Perfect Hero connects the youth and YSA with Jesus like never before. Readers are shown in their own circumstances how they can be just as courageous and faithful as Jesus. They will be inspired to put first their Heavenly Father's work ahead of their own interests, be true to their word, seek to know their life's mission that God has for them, and be filled with love in enduring trials and suffering. Through the Holy Ghost, that attends this book, the youth and YSA will gain a testimony that Jesus Christ is their Saviour and the God of this world. They too will joyfully come away from this book with a Hero they can look to for the rest of their lives. The book also provides the precious answers to the questions: "Was there a life before this one now?" "What is the purpose for being on earth?"
