This book is available from BYU bookstore or Deseret Book. It is worth every penny for the article by Terry Ball on scripture reading in your home. His live-presentation profoundly influenced me and sparked ideas for making scripture study a permeating attitude, activity and way of life in my home. I eagerly read the article (the first one I opened to after I bought the book)and found it almost as good as the live presentation. The other articles are uplifting as well. I love attending Women's Conference and the compilation of talks published from the 'cream of the crop' of the conference are usually an uplifting treat to read.

I loved this collection of talks so much! There were so many that were insightful and just what I needed to hear right then.

There were a lot of great talks from this conference. A lot of their messages really stood out to me and I related to a lot of what was said. It's nice to just read a talk at a time and really let the messages sink in and think about how it can apply to your life. The theme was based on the story of Esther in the Bible.

As a feminist, I don't understand what any woman would find interesting in this book. There is nothing about abortion, nothing about clitoral stimulation, nothing about Day Care. In short -- garbage for religionists.
