Out of the best books

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers."  ~Charles W. Eliot

Books are my addiction of choice.  Entering a book store or a library instantly gives me a natural high.  When visiting friends my eye naturally gravitates to their bookshelves where I learn what interests or motivates them.  Nestled deep in my easy chair, shoes off, opening the book at the bookmark (never dog earing the pages!), I settle in to be whisked off to a far adventure, have my intellect stretched, or be inspired to be a better Christian husband/father/son/brother/friend.


Here are the books I am currently--and in the case of some--constantly reading.

• The New Testament
• The Book of Mormon (with Melba)
• Civility: Manners, Morals, and the Etiquette of Democracy, Stephen L. Carter
• The Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ: Volume I, Richard Holzapfel & Thomas Wayment
• Broke, Glenn Beck
• Rejoice In Christ: Daily Insight from the Book of Mormon, Ed Pinegar & Richard Allen
• Rebekah, Orson Scott Card
• To the Rescue: The Biography of Thomas S. Monson 

Books--like true friends--are there when you need them, asking nothing in return.
