Sheri Dew, Leather-bound Books to Score Big at Deseret Book

With the introduction of heirloom quality, leather-bound books, Deseret Book CEO Sheri Dew offers LDS Church members the chance to enshrine the best books of the apostles and prophets in their homes this Christmas season.

You run your hand over the richly bound books, eyeing the golden edges of acid-free pages and raise the tome to catch the faint telling scent of leather!

Sis. Dew has layed-out darkwood designer bookshelves from ceiling to floor, in the East Room of Deseret Book, filled with beautiful copies of Church History by Joseph Smith, The Messiah series by Bruce R. McConkie (incredibly on sale right now for half price), the 16 volume set of The Words of the Prophets, in addition to various single volumes of great interest to all members.

The numbered volumes are especially beautiful, but one can find unnumbered books among the lot just as beautiful at a lower rate.

The volume Covenant Hearts by Bruce Hafen clearly defends the proposition of a covenant marriage positioned in a stronger place than the mere contract of today's world. He defends covenant marriage against the onslaught of other social constructs.

President of Twelve Boyd K. Packer's beautifully etched volume Mine Errand from the Lord speaks clearly on various topics necessary for all members of the Church.

Her own volume thrown into the mix, Sheri Dew's God Wants a Powerful People outlines steps toward greater commitment to His Kingdom. Particularly poignant are her intimations about regular attendance to the Temple, her preferences in those solemn moments in that Holy Place, and the solice and strength to be found only there. Also lusciously bound is her If It Were Easy, It Wouldn't be Worth It.

Other bound copies include such authors as Parley P. Pratt, Elder Russell M. Nelson, Gerald Lund, Blaine Yorgeson, the English Biblical scholar Ferrell, and our prophet Thomas S. Monson.

The heirloom book section-chief told me that Pres. Monson's leather-bound copy of To the Rescue arrived today. Now we have the quality cover to match his message!

This Christmas Season, we should gather our remaining "gold and silver" and return to Jerusalem to obtain these beautiful leather books, in order to teach our children how priceless a possession is the wisdom of the prophets in these best books from Deseret Book!
