When Bo was on his mission, I went into Seagull Book to find a great book to send his way. The store clerk recommended this one. I quickly read it (not getting to deep into it because I had to send it off quick so he'd get it in time) and liked it so I sent it off to him. It has been staring me in the face on a bookshelf for the last 7 years but I've never been a big reader and so I never picked it up even though I wanted to read it again. I've always told myself, "I should just read my scriptures because I'll get the most from them, and I don't feel like I read them enough". But I just decided to start reading it a few weeks ago.
Wow! I am totally inspired I want to be a better person. It has made me want to devour the scriptures and any other gospel book. I know that sounds dumb, but he talks about the scriptures and other great books so often that I just want to read everything he mentions in the book. He explains the atonement in a way that is so simple and organized yet so deep and thought provoking. I have such a greater understanding and love for Christ and all that he did for us and continues to do.
If you are looking for something to inspire you. Read it. I can't really put in to words how I felt reading the book, but it has strengthened my testimony greatly and has made me a better wife and mom.
