    Meet Julie:To know her is to love her. The only bad things to have happened to her are too many good things. When she walks down the street, birds call her name and the sun smiles more broadly.I do not know how you will stand her.**Hilarious, subversive, reflective, and poignant, this novel is a revolving portrait that perfectly captures the BYU single experience and the internal and external tensions faced by Latter-day Saint women.-Katherine Cowley, award-winning LDS authorReading this book is like catching an affectionate wink from the guy who sits on the back row in Gospel Doctrine class smiling to himself as he does crossword puzzles on his phone so that you think he's not listening but who always comes out with the comment that turns the discussion into something bigger, something that matters.Jepson treats his characters-these glorious, quirky, hilarious young people trying to figure out their places in the world, trying to understand their own hearts-with humor, yes, but also with a subtle tenderness, so that we recognize their yearnings.This book is as fun as a pick-up game of Pictionary, but just when you think it's all Peanut M&Ms and Twizzlers, holiness appears as if on a silver tray passed by the deacons.The ending sneaks up on you like your home teacher (minister) on a unicycle bearing mint brownies, and, like him, is sweet and surprisingly healing.The sunset our Classic Protagonist rides off into is a different sunset than she had thought she was aiming for, a better sunset, and that makes all the difference. It makes this book true.-Darlene Young, author of Here

    When God created the world, he sent an angel to spread the souls of fools evenly across the earth. Unfortunately, the angel tripped. As a result, the town of Chelm became home to the world's most densely concentrated nonsense. Though most stories about Chelm are Jewish, Tales of the Chelm First Ward follows a group of locals who recently became Latter-day Saints.The thirty-two stories in this collection offer glimpses into the Chelm ward's uniquely Mormon illogic. Fruma Selig hears it's important for her daughters to marry in the church and worries when one insists instead on getting married in the temple. Heshel is so hungry one fast Sunday that it's hard to calculate what he owes the Lord. Shmuel Peretz knows that eight is the age of accountability and doesn't want to waste any last free chances to sin before his birthday. Through a large cast of equally misguided but mostly likeable characters, captured in accompanying art by David Habben, Tales of the Chelm First Ward pays tribute to the everyday absurdities that come with a community of faith.

    Get out of the way and into the Word! This book is a captivating resource that allows us to experience the Book of Mormon through a social justice lens. Passages we have heard dozens of times become a fresh read as Salleh and Olsen Hemming's commentary breathes life, liberation, and the pursuit of consciousness onto each page. The Book of Mormon for the Least of These unapologetically moves us beyond the altar call to lay down our burdens and pushes us to lay down our biases. More than a source to examine the Word, this book is a tool to engage in the work.-Zandra Vranes, coauthor of Can I Get an Amen? Celebrating the Lord in Everyday Life
