be happy- Simple Secrets to a Happier Life


A ok book. 
I have no problem being Happy and positive, for which I am forever grateful, but I love Hank Smiths style so I got this book.
I really enjoyed his approach to showing scriptures in the Book of Mormon that can be a road map to happiness.

Whom the Lord Loveth

1123898A collection of short thoughts by the author. I have been reading this for awhile since I can just grab it when I have a few minutes to spare and it works perfectly that way.
Love the thoughts contained.
Let me feel a quick pick me up when needed on so many topics.

Kingdom Keepers # 5 Shell Game

11795449

Not sure how to rate this. It is for YA readers but I got bored. While some great things happened I was left thinking this is the same old plot time and time again.
I did like that finally some of the “good” characters showed up to help, I was not happy with how the main characters seemed to change personalities on a dime without any explanation.
Even though it was left on a literal cliff hanger not sure if I will read the next one.

How Do I Know If I Know

23352713Very quick and fun read.
Basic premise is you know more than you think you do.
I really enjoyed that scattered throughout the book are barcodes that you can scan to be lead to talks from General Authorities that support what that part of the book is about.

Youth should read this.

The Sacrament



Nothing really earth shattering but a good read.
Some of the different authors covered the same thing but that was ok.
A quick read for anyone wanting to look at the sacrament closer for themselves

Winners Never Cheat- Even in Difficult Times


As I read through this one thought kept popping up in my head.
Why are not more companies like this?
I have worked for a few companies and heard of others. All seem to proclaim great values as their creed, yet when you look at the details they fail to even come close.
I wish more CEO's etc were like Mr. Huntsman.

 must read for any business minded person.

Women and the Priesthood

18633870I was not sure what i expected from this book.
I respect Sister Dew and enjoy her other books and talks. This was not so much about women and the Priesthood in the LDS Church but more about how to be a good member.
The first of the book she covered a lot of basic belief and doctrine.
Only 1 chapter dealt with the title of the book.
Other chapters related what and how women serve and work in the Church and how important and vital they are to the over all plan.
Don't know if it is a must read, but I enjoyed it.
Most enjoyable part was all the statements from Church leaders about women all gathered in one spot. For that it gets 4 stars instead of 3.
