Here’s a link to a lovely 30 minutes of sharing or so from Sister Susan Tanner, the author of the new book, Daughters in My Kingdom She tells her story of writing the book. She had a place where she got stuck, but then she had a dream and it helped her finish the book. She tells of one of the male leaders of the church who read the book and told her that the book was so good that “almost thou persuadeth me to be a woman!” http://mormonchannel.org/relief-society/daughters-in-my-kingdom/2 Doesn’t that sound just like Elder Holland? The point is that LDS woman have such a great heritage of service and nobility, enough to make any man envious.
And did you know that the Mormon Channel has a page devoted to Relief Society with 27 episodes to listen to? http://mormonchannel.org/relief-society/daughters-in-my-kingdom/2
lds.org has a page devoted to the book http://lds.org/relief-society/daughters-in-my-kingdom?lang=eng. If you haven’t received your copy, you can go to that link and download a copy.
Here’s a video to encourage you to “open the gift” meaning the gift of this book. It’s about Sister Beck and her childhood story of discovering a forgotten Christmas gift. http://lds.org/relief-society/daughters-in-my-kingdom/about-the-book?lang=eng#modal=the-gift-daughters-in-my-kingdom
Once a month, the last week of the month, the Mormon Channel features a vignette about the book.
And you can email questions to Sister Julie Beck. Once a month she will answer questions on the Mormon Channel. Here’s what the site says, “If you want to ask Sister Julie B.
