| Living Scriptures Video Series Gets Attention at Film Sites |
| Three-time Oscar winner Jack Nicholson may
have to wait for his chance to film a new movie while history is
being recorded by Heber J. Grant, Lorenzo Snow and Harold B. Lee. The
prophets will be filming first, as the historical site of the Stuhr
Museum in Grand Island, Nebraska is going Hollywood. The drama, part
of a 14-episode series being filmed by "The Living Scriptures,"
follows the lives of the prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. |
| At BYU-Hawaii, Card Tells Students How to Write |
| Orson Scott Card, well known-novelist and member of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has found his own
way to meld his religious beliefs and his creative writing. Earlier
in his career, he briefly attempted to separate his personal moral
compass from his writings. He was, by his own admission, mostly
unsuccessful in the attempt. Now, realizing that his religious
perspective is part of "who he is," Card is comfortable with the
results that come from his harmonization of the sacred and the
secular. "What I do as a Mormon writer is no different than what you
do as a Mormon insurance salesman, a Mormon student, a Mormon clerk
at the grocery store, a Mormon doctor, that is, I try to make
everything I do a part of life as a Latter-day Saint," he said. |

postpartum depression jumped onto the Amazon.com 100 in the first few
days of May as the book was first released. Osmond's account has
caught the attention of many women who have struggled with the same
thing, with some reports claiming that Osmond has given a name to the
feeling that many women have following childbirth. |
| New Products: The Kindness Handbook, Evolution and Mormonism |
| A group of Mormon scholars took on the
sometimes controversial subject of Evolution in a recent book from
Signature Books, while a new Deseret Book title gives practical
advice on helping others through adversity. The scholars who wrote
"Evolution and Mormonism" include BYU professor Duane Jeffrey, and
they approach evolution from a belief in the gospel, managing to
reconcile the findings of science with that belief. |
