The Peacegiver

Our book for February is The Peacegiver: How Christ Offers to Heal Our Hearts and Homes. This is a profound and insightful book in story form. It teaches us to look deep within ourselves, to repent and change, drawing closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. In a world where blaming, rationalizing, and justifying are the norm; this book brings insight, understanding and truth. May this book renew your conviction to draw closer to the Savior and accept his atoning sacrifice in your life is my prayer. I hope you find it to be as influential and moving as I have found it to be. 

For a great background of the author as will as articles exploring the meaning and writing of The Peacegiver see www.deseretbook.com/authors under James L. Ferrell.

Peter and the Star Catchers/Peter Pan

Read either or both of these books for the month of January.  Peter Pan is of course a well known classic, while Peter and the Star Catchers is a prequel written after Peter Pan by the son of Barrie.  This should be an enjoyable read to kick off the new year.  Have fun and share your thoughts!!  We have had only limited discussion so far on this site.  Jenny and Shelly get gold stars but everyone else gets gray spots. ;-)

Jesus The Christ

Written by Elder James E. Talmage in the Salt Lake Temple.  It was read to and approved by the First Presidency before being published (see 'Publisher's Preface'), and is part of the Missionary Reference Library.  You can find it at any LDS bookstore and even download the audiobook for free at:   http://lds.org/mp3/display/0,18692,5297-60,00.html
