· Pros:  o Great lessons for everyone to learn from, especially women
             o Reminded me of what is important
             o A great source for talks and lessons

· Cons: o Not really a book for one setting but to be read and pondered over time

· Description: o Written by Marilynne Todd Linford
                        o Sister Linford started writing this book at the request of her Relief Society President.  Each month she would write a ‘lesson’ for the sisters in her ward.  After some years past she decided to print the ‘lessons’ into a book.
                        o Contains 43 lessons dealing with a different topic from debt, to mothering small children, and to being a grandmother.
                        o Each lesson is written with women in mind but many such as debt, priorities and charity are for all to read.
                        o The book is 204 pages long

· Review:  I thought this book had a lot of great information in it.  It gave me a lot to think about.  I put as a con that it really isn’t a book to read at once, I would have liked to pick a topic and read and pondered it over a period of time.  This is a book to pull off the shelf many times over the years as you face different challenges in life.  Sister Linford did a great job of teaching through this book.
