One of my favorite scriptures reads...
And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith. (D&C 88:118)
For me reading provides a great relief from the day-to-day stresses that occur. Reading the right book can set the tone for how I'm feeling throughout the day. It can lift me up and inspire me to become more than what I am. Aside from the scriptures, these are some great books for moments in life when you need a little inspiration.
When you want to learn from your past.
This book includes teachings, stories, and examples from the history of Relief Society. The introduction explains that, "as you study this history you will see that our Heavenly Father knows His daughters, that He loves them, that He trusts them with sacred responsibilities, and that He guides them as they fulfill those responsibilities."
When you need to relax.
Get to know June, a teenage girl discovering how to stand up for what she believes in, as she goes through work and school. This series is a fun, clean read when you have some down time. So far, each book had been nominated for a Whitney Award, an awards program for LDS authors, and it is a great series to share with teenage young women.
When you feel lonely.
Based off of one of his most influential talks, this book reminds us of five things we should never forget. The most important of these things being that our Heavenly Father loves us infinitely. No matter how small we may feel we are never forgotten.
When you need someone to look up to.
This book is best described by the author herself who said, "This book is not a recipe for others to follow, but just one more example of the gospel in action in the life of a fellow sojourner, [but] maybe, just maybe, we who read it will be inspired to try a little harder to be a little better — to become the people the Lord knows we can be."
When life gets hard.
It is clear, life is hard. However, by learning to rely on the Lord, hard things can become easier. Dew's word help lessen the trials we have and see the good in the trials we must experience.
When you want to feel closer to the Savior.
A comprehensive view of the Atonement that can lead to greater understanding and appreciation for what the Savior has done for us.
When you need some everyday inspiration.
Containing 365 quotes and scriptures, you can read this book a little every day for an uplifting moment.
When you wonder how to improve.
Nelson asks several women to go on a three day challenge doing a task the way a holy woman would do it. The experiences gained are very interesting and may inspire you to do your own three day challenge.
