Our being alive in this day and age is not an accident! Drawing on the strength and example of Queen Esther, the theme for the 2007 BYU Women's Conference inspires and fortifies us to meet the particular challenges and opportunities that we all face. Contributors such as Elder and Sister Jeffrey R. Holland, Elder Cecil O. Samuelsen, Wendy Watson Nelson, and Mary Ellen Edmunds remind us that as we draw closer to our Savior, we can find strength of purpose and comforting peace in doing what is needful for our unique times and in our unique places.
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.
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.
