    I think your readers will enjoy “Arm the Children” –Faith’s Response to a Violent World—-by Arthur Henry King. He explains the value of fiction.

    Also a book I think should be required reading in every school—“The U.S. Constitution” A Reader…edited by the Hillsdale College Politics Faculty

    And…..I hope every home has access to the five volumes of “Out of the Best Books”….Relief Society Course of Study years ago.
