The Beginning of Better Days

The Beginning of Better Days

by Joseph Smith

with insights from
Virginia Peirce and Sheri Dew 

Have you heard of this book?  I have.  Over and over and over again and I finally read the first essay by Virginia Peirce which perked my interest but not enough to rant and rave (perhaps yet) like so many others.  I will read the book in its entirety prior to my saying much about it.  I had to lend it to a neighbor for it is now a bookclub book for our Relief Society.  Not only that, but we are reading it one piece at a time and it will take us a minimum of six months (for there are six lectures) to get to the end.  The RS president of our ward said she read chapter three and didn't understand a word of it.  How curious.  What could Joseph Smith tell Relief Society sisters that we could not understand, I wonder.  I am interested and I thought I would share my find with you.  I don't like that it really isn't very many words yet hammed up and prettified at our expense and only available in hardback for a lofty $18.  It could be a cheap book if they would let it be and I find church books to be the most unavailable and rank the highest of my book expenditures.  It is cheapest at Barnes and Noble if you order online ($12.50) but free shipping requires a $25 minimum purchase.  It is available on ebooks for a little less, I believe.  Nevertheless, tell me what you learn of this book.  I would love further discussions and shared insights, like always.

How is everybody?  I suppose our bookclub just doesn't have the cutting edge anymore.  What would?   Tell me about yourselves.
