Our ward had New Beginnings Tuesday night and challenged the young women (and us leaders) to read the book "Jesus the Christ" by December 13th. Tonight I read chapters 1 and 2. I've decided that it's an interesting challenge and I'd like to share the journey with whoever might happen upon my blog. So I'm not promising anything except that I will try to report here once a week...please note that I used the word TRY.
The first thing I noticed about this book is that James E. Talmage liked big words, and lots of words! I remember hearing somewhere that the length of the sentences a person uses is an indication of their intelligence, so Brother Talmage must have been a GENIUS. I think this book is challenging for many readers just because the words used and the way they are used will be overwhelming. I hope that the girls will be persistent and keep chipping away at it!
