Book Summary: Salt Lake County, Present Day Sam Carroll is living life in the fast lane--sleek cars, nice clothes, and lovely ladies have replaced the gospel values he grew up with, and he's going nowhere fast. But when a serious car accident brings his fun to a screeching halt, Sam is left comatose, aware only of his older brother reading aloud from the hundred-year-old journal of an LDS bishop, Moroni Chadester.

The Way Back to Heaven by S. Michael Wilcox, LDS Blog Tour

Book Summary: Our earliest scripture tells the story of those who thought they could build a structure high enough to get to heaven, and of the consequences of that mistaken belief. In contrast, the prophet Jacob dreamed of a ladder sent down from heaven by God, with rungs—steps—that we could ascend to return to Him. In  The Way Back to Heaven: The Parable of the Crystal Stairs,  award-winning author S. Michael Wilcox helps us discern the "stairs of man" from the "stairs of God." Using the metaphor of a beautiful crystal stairway, he shows us the difference between a focus on "being and becoming" and "believing and doing" in our life's journey. While we may think we know the steps we'll need to take, the author suggests some unexpected—even counterintuitive—yet essential stairs each of us will encounter as we make our way back to our Father in Heaven. My  Review: The Way Back to Heaven by S. Michael Wilcox I am a new reader of

One hour before I said I do--I vowed I'd never shed a tear over her death. But the minute we were pronounced man and wife--I knew. I'd only use my gun to protect her. I'd give my life for hers. I'd cry. And I would, most definitely, lose my heart, to a dying girl---a girl who by all accounts should have never been mine in the first place. I always believed the mafia would be my end game--where I'd lose my heart, while it claimed my soul. I could have never imagined. It would be my redemption. Or the beginning of something beautiful.

Track List: Living Water I Am Enough Possible Miraculous What Heaven Feels Like Sunshine Come Unto Christ My Review: Calee Reed has a beautiful and unique voice that I could listen to over and over again!While some songs on the album are more upbeat, others are slower and have a deeper message. I prefer track four, Miraculous and I can tell it is going to be one I will have on repeat on Sundays! An all time favorite of mine has been Come Unto Christ and Reed's version does not disappoint! I am excited to have new uplifting songs with positive messages to listen to
