This series of grammar books is very different from most approaches to teaching grammar. First, it uses a gospel context to invite the spirit and help students look at grammar in everyday situations with which they are familiar. Secondly, it believes that grammar is best taught by the study of good writing and then emulating those writing principles. Current research is showing that a writing-based grammar program is more effective in teaching students to write well than the present over-use of rote exercises found in most grammar texts.
Each text is divided into specific concepts with exercises and additional practice suggestions. The interactive examples and exercises are designed to ensure that students understand the concept being introduced. The answers directly follow the exercises. While the fundamental elements of grammar are included and reviewed in each book, the series builds upon itself and asks the student to think a little differently about how grammar is a part of writing.
Line Upon Line (vol. 1): Where does the comma go? How about a semi-colon? This easy to follow and understand text focuses on sentence structure in writing.
Precept Upon Precept (vol. 2): When we communicate in writing we want to be clear and understandable. This text looks at grammar as part of the writing process and examines the most troublesome aspects of grammar for the writer.
Here a Little, There a Little (vol. 3): I don’t want my writing to be boring! This text examines how grammar techniques can be used to make writing more interesting and persuasive. Defines how punctuation and grammar can be used as rhetorical techniques.
Give Ear and Learn Wisdom (vol. 4): Why doesn’t English make sense? This text discusses the history of English and how it has affected our grammar and spelling, as well as the way writing has changed over the years.

The Wise Men Raised Up series consists of three volumes of readings on American history. Through stories and first hand narratives taken directly from original writings, these books examine the foundation and growth of America, with commentary by LDS religious leaders. Intended as supplementary readers for 7th to 12th graders.
Wise Men Raised Up, Volume 1, Revolutionary Era (1500–1800): From the foundations of America through the following periods of time: Protestant Reformation, Puritan Fathers, The Great Awakening, Colonial Fathers, The American Revolution, and the Constitution. The majority of stories are drawn from 18th, 19th and early 20th century accounts. These time-worn anecdotes include the role of Providence in our nation's beginnings.
Wise Men Raised Up, Volume 2, Westward Expansion (1800–1860): Examines the westward expansion of the United States, the people and events that prepared the way for a united country, and the exodus of the Latter-day Saints to Utah. The men and women studied were "raised up" for providential purposes and were blessed by divine guidance in their efforts. Includes thought provoking stories extracted from 19th and early 20th century texts.
Wise Men Raised Up, Volume 3, America Meets the World (mid-1800s–through conclusion of World War II): Follow the events that piece together a story of conquest, growth, sacrifice, and Providential guidance that formed the America we know today. While many recognize the divine intervention of the founding of America, many do not acknowledge the ongoing interposition of that same Divine Being during the latter years of growth. Stories will inspire patriotism and commitment to "serve the God of the land."

Originally published in 1861.
“When I think of the founders of this great republic, I think of George Washington. There is no question but what he was an instrument of God in the founding of a nation where the Church might be restored and where the Gospel might be returned to mankind, because this nation is founded upon the great cornerstone of the gospel.” —Elder Joseph L. Wirthlin
This reprint of the 1861 biography describes how Washington succeeded in spite of the disasters and sufferings experienced during the seven year ordeal of the American Revolution. We watch Washington standing amid his band of patriots with no hope other than their reliance upon “Divine Providence.” Read of Washington’s enthusiastic love of liberty, unconquerable resolution and “firm reliance on Heaven,” all for the sake of freedom and principle. Included are the emotional descriptions of his faith and prayers during the trials of Boston, Trenton, Valley Forge, Long Island, and Yorktown.
This inspiring story of George Washington restores him to his rightful role as a hero, the Washington known by our forefathers.

“Once a generation, we’re blessed with a book so moving, so truthful and powerful, that it touches a nation.With any luck, that book will be placed next to this one in the store.” —The author’s husbandAvailable at Amazon.
Welcome to the slightly off-kilter world of Claire Bowen and family. A world someone once called “gently insane.” Or perhaps he said the Bowen world was ordinary and the people were insane. In any case, he’s no longer invited to dinner. But draw your own conclusions.
Whatever else this book does, it makes you feel better about raising your own kids. It makes you feel better, period—it’s humor with a literary sense and humor with common sense. It’s humor with teenagers! What more could you ask? You’re likely to recognize your own family, because you know they’re nuts, too; and you’re sure to be comforted, because they’re not as nutty as some we could name. You’ll come away
feeling you’ve made new, albeit somewhat unstable, friends.
