A beautifully-crafted piece of historical fiction, The Innkeeper's Wife (Shadow Mountain, hardcover $12.95) gives readers a new Christmas story and a special witness about the most important birth in the world.

Unlike others, singular, uncommon, unusual" (The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1993) In her humorous yet thought-provoking style, author and popular speaker Mary Ellen Edmunds explores what really makes "a peculiar people." rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Beehive Standard Weekly ) Wed, 08 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/96/1/Some-Paid-the-Ultimate-Sacrifice-Lessons-to-be-learned-from-Handcart-Pioneers-150-years-later. Most members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints quickly recognize "The Willie and Martin Handcart companies" as a group of people who made their journey to Zion so late in the season that they suffered a terrible price, lost lives, and endured crushing hardship. Yet few know the complete story of the stirring details that make this trek one of the Church's most inspiring sagas. In the new book The Price We Paid: The Extraordinary Story of the Willie and Martin Handcart Pioneers (Deseret Book), author Andrew Olsen carefully details the people, their leaders, and their rescuers while unfolding an amazing story of grief and joy, despair and hope, abandonment and faith. The book delivers the most comprehensive and accessible account ever written of this epic journey- from Liverpool to the Salt Lake Valley. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Beehive Standard Weekly ) Wed, 08 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/95/1/Against-My-Will-by-Robyn-Heirtzler Springville, UT- Cedar Fort, Inc. is pleased to announce a new book by Robyn Heirtzler.

It was simple and predictable all the way through. The book by Lauren Weisberger (which I will probably read now) was a bestseller for six months, and I'm curious to find out what the filmmakers did to it. If the book sold millions, I have to believe that it was changed dramatically. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Jacob Russell) Tue, 06 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/45/1/Book-Review%3A--LDS-Authors-Debunk-Some-Claims-of-Da-Vinci-Code Three Brigham Young University Ancient Scripture professors have examined the factual assertions of the Da Vinci Code in a new book released this month and have determined that the book is bent on rewriting the past.  Commentary abounds among Catholics, Protestants and even Baptists about the controversial theories postured in the book The Da Vinci Code and the upcoming movie, but this is the first close examination of the book by LDS scholars. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Rob Graham) Mon, 15 May 2006 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/23/1/Good-Decisions-are-%26quot%3BNo-Brainers%26quot%3B---Book-Review John Bytheway is one of the best young adult speakers the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints offers. As a motivator, he is without equal.  As a spiritual inspirator, he is unmatched. As the summer approaches, many parents are traveling long distances in the car with their children. Bytheway's newest release makes good travel sense for families to enjoy on the way -- especially if they have teenagers. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Beehive Standard Weekly ) Sun, 14 May 2006 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/9/1/New-Historical-Joseph-Smith-Biography Two hundred years ago a boy was born into a humble home in the State of New York. Joseph Smith, America's preeminent visionary and prophet, rose from this modest background to found the largest indigenous Christian church in American history. Without the benefit of wealth, education, or social position, he published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was twenty-three; organized a church when he was twenty-four; and founded cities, built temples, and attracted thousands of followers before his violent death at age thirty-eight. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Beehive Standard Weekly ) Thu, 13 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0700
