Lunar Love Giveaway Hop

It's a Full Moon and time to read a good paranormal book!
Welcome to the
Lunar Love Giveaway Hop!

Hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer & Bookworm Lisa

 Giveaway Details
I'm giving away a copy of


Kay's Kritique:  Fractured Light was another stay up until 3 a.m. to finish.  I tried to put it down a couple of times, but thought "Oh I'll just read another chapter . . . " and then I was done and it was 3 a.m.  Rachel has written a great Paranormal Fantasy with spunky Llona who just wants to live a "normal" teenage life, but can't because she is anything but normal.  She struggles to figure out who she really is and learn how to control the light and use it to save herself before it's too late.  Written for Young Adults but Adults will enjoy it too -- I did.

Making Precious Things Plain - Product Review & Giveaway


Books & Things Exclusive Blowout Sale Price 
Up to 45% OFF Through March 31 

for this Books & Things Exclusive Blowout Price.  
Now's the time to get your copies from a Books & Things Independent Retailer!

About the Books:  A companion to your study of the Book of Mormon,  is a rich resource for teachers, students, and gospel scholars alike. In this volume full of supplemental material, Dr. Randal Chase, a veteran Institute and Gospel Doctrine teacher, shares years of insights into the scriptures by exploring scriptural symbolism, background, culture, and chronology, as well as the words and teachings of gospel authorities.

This unique study guide of the Book of Mormon provides new depth and understanding to the scriptures. Readers will enjoy Dr. Chase's relaxed style and easy presentation as they gather information, clarification, and quotes that can be used for either private study or public speaking. A welcome addition to any library, this guide will provide the tools necessary to come to a deeper understanding of the Book of Mormon.



About the Author:  Dr. Randal Chase is a popular teacher and speaker, both in and out of the LDS Church. An expert in the field of communication, he has been a professor at schools across Utah, including the University of Utah, Salt Lake Community College, and Dixie State College. He has taught Institute and other Church Education programs for over thirty-three years.




Kay's Kritique:  I love to teach and I am privileged to teach Gospel Doctrine.  I just taught as part of a lesson that Jacob teaches us in 2 Nephi 6:3 the 3 part pattern for teaching - 1.  Bear Testimony; 2.  Share what Prophets have said and taught; 3.  Teach from the Scriptures.  Making Precious Things Plain supplements for the Book of Mormon have been a great asset in helping me do just that, particularly in bringing together what the prophets have taught on a particular concept in the scriptures.  Making Precious Things Plain also helps you understand the culture and therefore you are able to better understand the context of the scriptures and it makes it easier to "liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be fore our profit and learning" (1 Nephi 19:23).  Whether I continue to teach Gospel Doctrine for the next 4 years, I will be adding these supplements to my library to enrich my scripture study.

Making Precious Things Plain doesn't just stop with the Book of Mormon.  There a total of 12 volumes that will take you through all the Standard Works, with an additional volume just focusing on Isaiah.

Giveaway Details:

I'm giving away One 3-Volume Set of Making Precious Things Plain for the Book of Mormon.
