I participate in my ward's book club, and right now we are reading a book called "Crossing to Safety" by Wallace Stegner. This quote really stuck out to me, and so I thought I would share it, "I believe that most people have some degree of talent for something-forms, colors, words, sounds. Talent lies around in us like kindling waiting for a match..."
I really like that image.

Beautiful words. I love my ward's book club. We are small but have great times and discussions together. I'm glad you joined.
hey, is this the pioneer crossing book? stegner is pretty good. i had a class aboot his stuff but we never read "crossing..."
bye from jeppy
this book isn't about pioneers. it is set in around the 1930s and it is about life of 2 college professors. i haven't figured out yet why the book is titled "crossing to safety". so far i really like it. do you recommend any of his other books?
The book he wrote about the pioneers is called; "The Gathering of Zion". Written from the perspective of a non-mormon, Stegner does a nice job. Pres. Hinckley has even quoted from this book!
