Open Your Gift

Do you have a copy of this book yet? If you don't have one, get one from a member of your ward's Relief Society presidency TODAY! If you have a copy have you read it yet?  I just finished mine last week and I LOVED it!  I can not say enough good things about it.  It was absolutely incredible.  What a wonderful gift it is from our loving  Heavenly Father to his daughters.  This book tells about the purpose of Relief Society and what are responsibilites are as women in the Relief Society Organization.  It also answers the questions:  What does it mean to be a woman of God?  What does God expect of me?  What is my divine purpose and mission as a woman? 


LDS. org says this about the book:  "The history of Relief Society teaches the divine identity and infinite worth of daughters of God. It is a Spirit-filled story of strong, faithful, purposeful women who have served with little public recognition.   
"As you study this history you will see that our Heavenly Father knows His daughters, that He loves them, that He trusts them with sacred responsibilities, and that He guides them as they fulfill those responsibilities."


This book is filled with so many great stories of really exemplary women, and it contains wonderful quotes on motherhood and womanhood from the prophets, apostles, and General Relief Society presidents.  I was so thrilled  to see that my all time favorite quote on womanhood was included.  It is:

“The world's greatest champion of woman and womanhood is Jesus the Christ.”

—James E. Talmage, in Daughters in My Kingdom, page 3

I am teaching a lesson next week in Relief Society on this book, and as I was looking at the church's website, I came across this wonderful video about the book.  

Don't you think this book must be incredibly important for us as women to read and to study if it was made to be  given to every single woman in the church?
