Gifts to read
Accomplishing the Impossible, President Russell M. Nelson
In the Lord's plan for His children, this is the final dispensation. Many important things need to be done to prepare the earth for the Savior's Second Coming. From preaching the gospel in every nation, to sealing our families throughout the generations, to becoming ever more like our Savior, Jesus Christ, we as Latter-day Saints face many tasks that may seem impossible from a worldly standpoint.
But ours is an eternal perspective, and our mandate comes not from the world but from the Lord, who gives no commandment without preparing a way for it to be accomplished (see 1 Nephi 3:7). In fact, as President Russell M. Nelson points out, His pattern is one of "using the unlikely to accomplish the impossible." From David and Goliath to Moses to Joseph Smith, the history of His people is a story of accomplishing the impossible.
Simple Truths for an Abundant Life, Mitt Romney and Ann Romney
As you embark on any new adventure, whether it's schooling or a mission or a career, there are nuggets of wisdom from others that can prove invaluable. Mitt and Ann Romney have found lessons in their own life experiences, so they wrote a letter to their grandchildren in hopes of helping them face critical decisions and turning points. And now they share those bits of wisdom—for finding your own abundant life—with you.
From their insights about the "Five Big Years" (ages 15 to 20), to their beliefs about God and church, to marriage and raising a family, and finally to what constitutes success and what builds character, the Romneys will inspire you to be better tomorrow than you are today. And perhaps their vulnerable authenticity will help you find a way to leave your own legacy of values, love, and wisdom to those who will follow after you.
The Book of Mormon, Journal Edition, provides the space you need to write down the thoughts and inspiration you receive as you read and study the scriptures.

Suited for every stage of life, this book will help increase your connection to your most treasured verses and make your personal scripture study even more meaningful.
How Will you Measure Your Life? Clayton M. Christensen
In 2010 world-renowned innovation expert Clayton M. Christensen gave a powerful speech to the Harvard Business School's graduating class. Drawing upon his business research, he offered a series of guidelines for finding meaning and happiness in life. He used examples from his own experiences to explain how high achievers can all too often fall into traps that lead to unhappiness.
In this groundbreaking book, Christensen puts forth a series of questions: How can I be sure that I'll find satisfaction in my career? How can I be sure that my personal relationships become enduring sources of happiness? How can I avoid compromising my integrity—and stay out of jail? Using lessons from some of the world's greatest businesses, he provides incredible insights into these challenging questions.

Jenny Oaks Baker returns with this tour de force of popular themes from the silver screen. Jenny often gravitates toward songs that have a timeless quality—this album is no exception. She has carefully chosen songs with beloved melodies that lend themselves to a larger-than-life production style. Her Juilliard-trained, highly skilled approach to the violin shines on "Across the Stars" from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, and her deep musicality comes through on the haunting tune "In Dreams" from The Lord of the Rings. She also stays true to her spiritual roots on classics "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" and "Chariots of Fire", which celebrate the faith that underpins her career.
The Bonner Family, a ten-member vocal group, continues their impressive rise in Christian music with their latest full-length album release. In 2018 they released an EP of original spiritual songs, and early in 2019 they released another EP of song written for the soundtrack to the acclaimed film Jane and Emma. This exciting new album combines sweeping orchestrations and rootsy spirituals to showcase their world-class vocal talent. Their sound is instantly classic, with roots in African-American spirituals and gospel music, but with a modern spin that gives them a fresh edge, a new vibrant energy in spiritual music. They are truly a one-of-a-kind musical force for good.
Trek follows a young Mormon teenager named Tom and his friends on their handcart journey. Along the way, they try to smuggle in unsanctioned food, battle sibling rivalry, encounter a "special ops" Young Men leader, match wits with a Twinkie-loving skunk, and ponder doctrinal brain teasers like, "Do General Authorities go to PG-13 movies?" But, when they encounter unexpected trouble, their faith is tested much like that of their pioneer ancestors. Whether you've been on a trek or not, your family will laugh along and ultimately be inspired as you enjoy this delightful film.
It all started with a question . . . and a prayer.
As fourteen-year-old Joseph Smith searches the woods for a lost neighbor child, along with his brother Alvin and sister Sophronia, the future prophet shares his thoughts and feelings concerning scripture, religion, and the nature of Deity.
