  2. You read twilight?!

    Ditto to what Blair said on love languages.

    Was the Spencer W Kimball (Biography)good? I assume that is the one by his son that was very open about his struggles with various things as a president. I put that on my to do list last Sunday.

    The Seer - Orson Pratt, what did you think of this?

  3. Carson,

    the Kimball biography read was the first one which covered his life before becoming president of the church. his presidency is covered in 'lengthen your stride'--which was severely censored/edited by deseret book. luckily, benchmark books recently did a limited print of the author's original version, though it costs $100.
