Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on

In Island of the Blue Dolphins, O’Dell tells the story of Karana, a Native American girl who survives alone on a wild, isolated island for many years in the mid-1800s. Karana is tested by her environment, even though it is a familiar one. The story is also about what it means to be human: Karana shows emotional and moral courage as she copes with a terrible loss. In the words of one reader, the

The Last Full Measure by Jeff Shaara. "The Last Full Measure is more than another historical novel. It is rooted in history, but its strength is the element of humanity flowing through its characters... The book is compelling, easy to read, well researched and written, and thought-provoking... In short, it is everything that a reader could ask for."Remember Book Cub on April 26th @ 7:00 - Karen

I have been thinking lately about our last class on Provident Living and wondering how I can save money. The one thing I thought I could do, is plan more before I go shopping.

An adorable story featuring a strong, determined peasant girl, a dashing, honorable, imprisoned prince, a ruthless, murderous, lustful king, and some amazingly brave maids. Krystal is not one to roll over and do as the men in her life command of her. She is feisty, brave and resourceful. The author is coming to our book club, therefore we will meet at Denice's house where there is more room.

“Sometimes it seems we take the scriptures too much for granted because we do not fully appreciate how rare a thing it is to possess them, and how blessed we are because we do have them.

“We increase our love for our Heavenly Father and demonstrate that love by aligning our thoughts and actions with God’s word. His pure love directs and encourages us to become more pure and holy. It inspires us to walk in righteousness—not out of fear or obligation but out of an earnest desire to become even more like Him because we love Him. By doing so, we can become ‘born again . . .

"The Savior taught His disciples, 'For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it' (Luke 9:24)."I believe the Savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those

“Without God, life would end at the grave and our mortal experiences would have no purpose. Growth and progress would be temporary, accomplishment without value, challenges without meaning. There would be no ultimate right and wrong and no moral responsibility to care for one another as fellow children of God. Indeed, without God, there would be no mortal or eternal life.“If you or someone you

“Father in Heaven knew that you would face challenges and be required to make some decisions that would be beyond your own ability to decide correctly.

The Lord can do remarkable miracles with a person of ordinary ability who is humble, faithful, and diligent in serving the Lord and seeks to improve himself.

“Our covenants supply strength—they produce the faith necessary to persevere and to do all things that are expedient in the Lord. Our willingness to take upon us the name of Christ and keep His commandments requires a degree of faith, but as we honor our covenants, that faith expands. In the first place, the promised fruits of obedience become evident, which confirms our faith. Secondly, the

“The gospel of Jesus Christ has the answers to all of our problems. The gospel is not a secret. It is not complicated or hidden. It can unlock the door to true happiness. It is not someone’s theory or proposition. It does not come from man at all. It springs from the pure and everlasting waters of the Creator of the universe, who knows truths we cannot even begin to comprehend. And with that

Inviting the Lord into Our Lives“Prayer begins with individual initiative. ‘Behold,’ saith the Lord, ‘I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me’ (Revelation 3:20). That door is opened when we pray to our Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ (see 3 Nephi 18:20; D&C 88:64). . . .“Let us ever pray

Our Savior extended this invitation to each and every one of us individually:“ ‘Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. “ ‘For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’ “When we do His work and His will, rather than our own will, we will realize that the yoke is easy and the burden is light. He will be with us always. He

“Chapter 40: How Glorious Are Faithful, Just, and True Friends,” Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, (2007),458–67Perhaps Joseph Smith’s great love for his friends made the betrayals of some of those friends especially hard to bear. In Nauvoo, friends whom the Prophet had taken into his confidence turned against him. However, many friends returned the Prophet’s loyalty,
