I recently finished reading the History of the Church by Joseph Smith Jr. and am now reading the Comprehensive Histrory of the Church written by B.H. Roberts, and I recommend both of them. I think they're much more interesting than the tidbits of history we get from following the Sunday School curriculum.

I borrowed from the Bishop, Sacred Sites - Searching for Book of Mormon Lands, Joseph Allen Ph.D. published by Covenant Recordings, 2003.

The book is a beautifully illustrated illustrated book and survey of BoM mesoamerican evidences. If you are fast, you can get through it in a couple of Sacrament Meetings. It's a not terrifically substantive but it did get me interested in the field.

Here's a link to an article by the author: http://www.ldsmag.com/articles/030916bofm.html

there are a few I'd recommend. The great and the terrible series by Chris Stewart. Seventh seal can't remember the author. O f course those are good if your into end of day and second coming like me. More happy ones are a promise of forever by Anita Stansfield also of goodly parents.

The only LDS church books that I'm interested in at the moment are:

Four Zinas - A Story of Mothers and Daughters on the Mormon Frontier by Martha Sonntag Bradley and Mary Brown Firmage Woodward

and

An Abundant Life: The Memoirs of Hugh B. Brown - Edwin B. Firmage, editor

There are quite a few books that I have enjoyed recently both church and non-church related. I tend to read light mysteries and soul provoking books. Things mostly to inspire me or make me think about life.

"In the Potter's Hands" by Camille Fonk
" The Peacegiver" by James L. Ferrell


I also like books by M.C. Beaton- Agatha Raisin Mysteries, Janet Evanovich, and
Ann George.

Our ward has a book club and picks a certain book for everyone to read and discuss. Would anyone be interested in that?

Side note: I am an assistant Librarian in the public library in a small town, so books are my thing!!!
