The Beginning of Better Days was very
enjoyable to read. It was interesting and compelling. Giving us as
readers the desire to ask questions and seek for answers. I appreciate
the efforts of Virginia Pearce and Sherry Dew. They are incredible people
and very talented writers. But more importantly what the book provided for me
was a confirmation of my own personal thoughts and opinions of what being a
woman really means. It confirmed that the Holy Ghost has been teaching me
all along about the role of women in our Heavenly Father's eyes. It
confirmed to me that the questions I have been asking are taking me in the
right direction and I can continue in receiving more enlightenment. As
the book states knowledge is power, I have witnessed that power in my life as I
have come to understand my divine role as a woman. I appreciated the collection
of quotes from others that were present in the book. One quote that
touched me like nothing I have ever experienced was by James E. Talmage.
He explained the bestowal of the Priesthood and the endowment and how it
all works. The closing sentence of this quote states: "Mortal eye
cannot see nor mind comprehend the beauty, glory, and majesty of a righteous
woman made perfect in the Celestial kingdom of God." I have never
had a witness so great from the Holy Ghost. These words reached to my
very core. I knew them to be true and every woman has that opportunity to
receive all the Father has. Thanks for using your talents to enlighten
women and empower us with knowledge. You have enlightened me and I will
never forget the experience I had while reading.
