OK, so I finally found the blog again and found my assignment. Here are my suggestions for the religious book . . . there are more, but here are the ones I would put at the top currently:
1- The Peacegiver: How Christ Offers to Heal Our Hearts and Homesby James L. Ferrell
**I have heard a lot about this one - it is about the atonement in a story form. Those on my goodreads who have read it usually rate it between a 4 or 5 and Aunt Becky commented on it making the atonement more personal - I'm interested, but haven't read it either.
2- The History of Joseph Smith by His Mother - I have wanted to reread this for a while, especially as we are studying the D&C AND Joseph Smith's teachings in church this year.
3- No Doubt About It - By Sheri Dew
How can't you love this one?
4- Letters - by Marjorie Hinckley
We read this one about 1 1/2 years ago for a book club, but I didn't make it to the discussion - it was a fast read, especially because you could read a letter so quickly and could stop whenever you needed to. Such great insights!
5- Disciples - by Cheiko Okazaki
Another one that I'd love to read again
6- The Miracle of Forgiveness - President Kimball
This is a more intense one, but such a good read, I just need something to motivate me to get through it!
Those are my top 6. Anyone want to vote??? Please vote by March 15th so that we can make a decision by April. LOVE YOU ALL! :)

I vote for the peacegiver or The history of Joseph Smith...all good ideas though em!
I am reading The History of Joseph Smith By his mother right now and it is amazing. I totally recommend it so it has my vote. My favorite thing about reading it right now is that I love reading it while studying the D&C side by side. It gives it such a personal feel. Just my opp. Love you all.
Joseph Smith sounds like a good idea because we are going to discuss Peacegiver in our ward's bookclub and I might get discussed out or something :)
