In a world of shifting values, women of the Church often feel under-appreciated for the work they do for their homes and families. Thankfully, we have a prophet who understands and respects women, and he’s written a new book full of uplifting messages just for us.

“One Bright Shining Hope” is a collection of inspirational messages written by President Gordon B. Hinckley specifically for women. It’s compiled in a beautiful hardcover book that also includes photographs of nature. It’s not long – around 150 half-sized pages, but it’s the message that matters more than the length. I was personally inspired by our prophet because it’s clear that he respects and loves women all over the world. After a long day with my kids, there’s nothing better than reading,

“God bless you, mothers. When all the victories and defeats of men’s efforts are tallied, when the dust of life’s battles begins to settle, when all for which we labor so hard in this world of conquest fades before our eyes, you will be there, you must be there, as the strength for a new generation, the ever-improving onward movement of the race.”

This book is a perfect gift for the women in your life. You can find “One Bright Shining Hope: Messages for Women from Gordon B. Hinckley” at Amazon.com and at DeseretBook.com.
