The Simeon Solution
by Anne Osborn Poelman
loved it.
highly recommend it.
it's a short, easy read.
i read it on my way home from cali.
and the author is a brilliant woman.
it's about her life; how she was brought to the gospel, and some trials she experienced along the way.
it wasn't too churchy but it did reinforce some of the main gospel principles.
some favorite quotes:
"I finally realized that the rhythm and pace, the 'times and seasons,' of each individual's life are different. The critical thing is to discover what our own times and seasons are and to make the most of them, not yearn to follow someone else's timetable. Heavenly Father has a plan, not just for his children collectively but for each one of us individually."
"Truely, if we're patient, faithful, and open to promptings from the Spirit, the Lord can and does work joyous miracles in our lives."
"Our Heavenly Father does indeed take an active interest in his children's lives. The Creator of a million million galaxies and worlds without number is aware of each one of us. The Savior told his disciples that the very hairs of their heads were all numbered. Imagine that! The Lord is intimately involved in the details, not just the general scheme of things."
