As we consider various choices, we should remember that it is not enough that something is good. Other choices are better, and still others are best. Even though a particular choice is more costly, its far greater value may make it the best choice of all.
Consider how we use our time in the choices we make in viewing television, playing video games, surfing the Internet, or reading books or magazines. Of course it is good to view wholesome entertainment or to obtain interesting information. But not everything of that sort is worth the portion of our life we give to obtain it. Some things are better, and others are best. When the Lord told us to seek learning, He said, 'Seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom' (D&C 88:118).

September - Rebecca
Well, we only got one vote, and since I get to be the tie breaker, I'd like to read Rebecca. I'll remind you about the meeting in a few weeks!
This is a book club for women who share the desire to seek wisdom and knowledge out of the best books. It will provide an opportunity to challenge our minds, be uplifted, and build relationships.
