Go Forward with Faith: The Biography of Gordon B. Hinckley
| Author | Sheri Dew |

The subject of the biography is not what is just OK, I really like Gordon B Hinckley; what I didn't care for was the biography. Pres. Hinckley just does stuff, but we gain no insight into the man; we don't know what makes him tick; we don't see his struggles and his decisions; we don't delve into what processes...

ACTUALLY THIS WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE. Honestly I was afraid this was going to be SUPER GIRLY or SUPER ROMANCE-Y (or both). But… it really wasn’t? I mean it definitely would hold more of an appeal for girls, and it’s definitely not a new favorite, but the good news is that I only gagged once. *nods*...

This is the "novel" which forms the basis for the play and movie "I Remember Mama" written by John Van Druten. It is little more than a series of vignettes, but they are realistic as well as heart-warming and not unduly sentimental.

Raising Up a Family to the Lord
I'm not a member of the LDS church, however I have a few friends who are Mormon and I've been long intrigued with their church (even though their beliefs differ widely from my own). I've long been impressed with their focus on family and teaching their young.
