Teach One Another Words of Wisdom: Selections from the Religious Educator, edited by Richard Neitzel Holzapfel and David M. Whitchurch.
Jeffrey R. Holland, then dean of Religious Instruction at Brigham Young University (BYU), established the Religious Studies Center (RSC) in 1975 with the mission of encouraging and supporting the pursuit of truth through scholarship on gospel-related topics. This collection of essays, like all RSC endeavors, is part of Religious Education’s overall mission of building the kingdom of God by teaching and preserving the sacred doctrine and history of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Religious Educator, a publication of BYU’s RSC, is a place where Church leaders and teachers publish thoughtful essays for those who study and teach the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. The editors of this compilation selected some of the outstanding contributions from past issues to celebrate the Religious Educator’s tenth year of publication. This volume features outstanding articles by Elder Robert D. Hales, Elder Richard G. Scott, Elder Tad R. Callister, J. R. Kearl, Brent L. Top, Kathy Kipp Clayton, and others.
To Save the Lost: An Easter Celebration, edited by Richard Neitzel Holzapfel and Kent P. Jackson.
Easter is a good time to recall Jesus’ mission to the least, the last, and the lost, for he said, “The Son of man is come to save that which was lost.” Not surprisingly, we discover that he sent his disciples to the “lost sheep,” and thus their mission of finding the lost is a natural extension of his mission. Some of Jesus’ most memorable teaching moments have to do with finding the lost. This volume contains the papers delivered at the 2008 and 2009 Brigham Young University Easter Conferences, which is a celebration of the life and atoning mission of Jesus Christ. We are honored to include articles from Elder Merrill J. Bateman, emeritus member of the Seventy, and Bonnie D. Parkin, former general Relief Society president.
Shedding Light on the New Testament: Acts – Revelation, edited by Ray L. Huntington, Frank F. Judd and David M. Whitchurch.
President Gordon B. Hinckley said, “We are a biblical church. This wonderful testament of the Old World, this great and good Holy Bible is one of our standard works. We teach from it. We bear testimony of it. We read from it. It strengthens our testimony. And we add to that this great second witness, the Book of Mormon, the testament of the New World, for as the Bible says, ‘In the mouths of two or three witnesses shall all things be established.’” This volume sheds light on many questions that students of the New Testament attempt to answer, such as: • How do we reconcile Paul’s teachings on women with the doctrines of the Restoration? • What is the relationship between grace and works? What do Latter-day Saints believe about grace? • How can we identify spiritual gifts and use them to serve others? • How can we guard ourselves against the “wisdom of men” in today’s world?
A Land of Promise and Prophecy: Elder A. Theodore Tuttle in South America, 1960-1965, by Mark L. Grover.
The period 1960–65 was key to the evolution of the Church because it represented a significant adjustment in approach and direction, particularly from Church headquarters in Salt Lake City. This history focuses on the personalities and programs of the mission presidents and their wives because the changes that occurred during this period were the product of these men and women.

It’s a little Christmas book filled with big Christmas spirit.
Sharing the Gospel Using the Internet, Edited by David Wiley and Seth Gurell.
Technology has always played a role in the gospel. After all, the apostle Paul could not have ministered to the early church without the aid of boats, highways and other advancements of the time. Today, the Internet is providing instantaneous communication. This opportunity allows for amazing potential to be realized. At the same time, never has rumor, propaganda and myth been able to move so quickly. This book is intended to help LDS members use the Internet to reach out to others in meaningful ways.
