Of Pigs, Pearls and Prodigals

9926708This was John Bytheway style all the way through. I enjoyed his insight into some of the parables. I enjoyed his collection of comments from General Authories that matched up with the scripture being talked about. Over all a nice easy read                  

The Price We Paid

The Price We Paid: The Extraordinary Story of the Willie and Martin Handcart Pioneers
This book details the story of the Martin and Willie Handcart companies that came across the United States to Utah and were stuck by early winter storms.
The author researched to great detail the story's of these pioneers. I appreciated the detail and the story's about what happened after they got here to Salt Lake.
I found great strength and inspiration from these everyday people who pushed on through troubled times and hardship because of their faith and trust in God.

A must read for every person even slightly interested in the pioneer experience.
