“Sisters, we are all in this together. We need to lock arms and help build the kingdom so that it will roll forth and fill the whole earth.” These words from Sister Marjorie P. Hinckley epitomize the spirit of the Brigham Young University—Relief Society Women’s Conference.
Over, the past twenty-five years, the women’s conferences held annually on the campus of BUY have uplifted, instructed, and encouraged the women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Thousands flock to BYU each year to attend in person, and hundreds of thousands more can, as of recent years, watch selected talks on satellite broadcast.
The Best of Women’s Conference is a landmark anthology of dozens of the most memorable addresses presented at women’s conferences over the past two and a half decades. This beautiful volume includes such favorite essays as “Women of Faith,” by Camilla Eyring Kimball; “Building the Kingdom from a Firm Foundation,” by Marjorie P. Hinckley; “It’s about Time, “ by Mary Ellen Edmunds; “thought of a Grasshopper,” by Louise Plummer; “Finding Lightness in Our Burdens,” by Chieko Okazaki; “This Is a Test. It Is Only a Test,” by Sheri L. Dew; “The Temple: Taking an Eternal View,” by S. Michael Wilcox; and many more.
