review 1: I am reading Neylan McBaine's Women at Church, so I was thinking about this book today. I read Daughters in My Kingdom right when it came out and loved it so much. It completely changed my understanding of the purpose of Relief Society and strengthened my testimony of the role of women in the Church. It surprises me how many women did not read it, and I wish they all would - and that the men would read it too. I plan to re-read it soon.
review 2: I decided to read this book cover to cover and really enjoyed it. It is beautifully presented. The artwork and graphics are lovely. The quotes on the sides of pages and front of chapters were chosen carefully and add to the information being presented. The history of Relief Society was presented within the context ... moreof gospel topics, I loved that. I especially loved the chapter on Visiting Teaching. It strengthened my testimony of the importance of that responsibility. The main thing I learned from the historical perspective is that the Relief Society of the church has really led the way for establishing church wide programs. I didn't realize how many times that was the case. Example - The Relief Society Magazine was established in 1915. In 1971 it became the Ensign. An excellent perspective for our day when there is so much discussion regarding the role of women in the church. Great book. less
