but since it's january first, today i restarted in my book of mormon, and i started both my new books for christmas.
i love the book of mormon. i love the stories of nephi, i never get tired of them or being at the beginning of this wonderful book.
i got all is well for christmas, by ed j pinegar, richard j allen, and paul jensen. anyway, its a daily inspirational thought book, most of the passages are connected with the pioneers. very inspiring see? this is also great because ive been reading the work and the glory ( i'm halfway through book 2 :) ) and i am loving it. i love the stories i'm learning or relearning about the early church members. and i know its just a book, and i know it's historical fiction, but i feel like i'm getting to know Joseph Smith alot better, getting to understand him more, getting to know more about the actual restoration of our church, and really understand what the saints were going through more than i have before. but this is for another time. continuing. i just cant express how excited i am to start on this new book! here is a part of the preface. this book is intended to serve four main purposes. 1. brighten each day of the year with small increments of light and truth. 2. kindle the glow of spiritual awareness and understanding in our lives. 3. foster gratitude to our father in heaven for having restored the fullness of the everlasting gospel in our times in the form of a 'marvelous work and a wonder'. 4. stimulate prayerful remembrance and application of many of the grand gospel themes and principles that pertain to our covenant commitments. ah just what i need! i'm just excited.
i also love the title all is well. every time i look over at my book i remember. all is well.
just needed to share my book excitedness haha :)
xoxo
