If Life Were Easy, It Wouldn't Be HardBy Sheri Dew
Deseret Book, 2005. 3 CDs. Nonfiction
After a number of setbacks when she and her nephew and nieces were trying to visit Nauvoo, Sheri Dew was ready to cancel the whole trip, but one of the nieces remarked, "If life were easy, it wouldn't be hard," a statement that stuck with Dew and became the basis for her book, as she relates it to our experiences on earth. Acknowledging that life is hard, Dew also discusses how we may be carrying around extra baggage and burdens that make it harder than it needs to be and talks about how we can set aside our burdens and be who the Lord intends us to be--and to receive the help He is willing to give us.
I always love Sheri's books and talks, and this one is no exception. I had read this a few years ago and some of the stories had stuck with me, but I'd forgotten others, so it was great to listen to the CD version. Fans of the author won't be disappointed.
