“I stress … the deep need each woman has to study the scriptures. We want our homes to be blessed with sister scriptorians—whether you are single or married, young or old, widowed or living in a family. After all, who has any greater need to ‘treasure up’ the truths of the gospel (on which they may call in their moments of need) than do women and mothers who do so much nurturing and teaching?”

September Book Suggestion

What is the purpose of our being? How much joy are we supposed to feel in a troubled world? Can our trials make us happier as well as stronger? If joy is the absence of sorrow or disappointment, then how could God be happy (because surely He has reasons for both!)?

Bestselling author, Chris Stewart, discusses how to experience a more joyful life. Drawing on unforgettable real-life experiences and rich examples from the scriptures, he offers suggestions for reorienting our lives in order to achieve greater joy and happiness — even in the most challenging times. Redefining Joy looks at some of life’s most difficult questions. But be prepared. The answers may surprise you.
