What someone who loves books said about my newest book!
Do you love to read books?
Shauna Wheelwright loves books so much that she created a blog about it!
In fact, it's called "I love to read and review books".
She recently read my newest book "Ready Resource for Relief Society" and had this to say about it:
-----------------------------------------
I am really impressed with this resource book!
I mean REALLY IMPRESSED!
You also get:
*Ensign articles to use
*Scripture Mastery verses to expound the lesson
*Correlating pages from Preach My Gospel
*AND a CHALLENGE to help the class members put the lesson to practice in their own lives.
And if that is not enough...
