When you go into a typical Latter-day Saint
home today, you will likely see copies of The Ensign, The New
Era, The Friend, and the LDS Church News prominently displayed.
Most of the Saints enjoy the messages of inspiration, the
counsel for righteous living, the doctrinal expositions, the
inspirational tales, information concerning Church growth and
activities, the poetry, and the humor which they find in these
timely periodicals.

In years past, your forefathers
enjoyed reading The Contributor, The Millennial Star, The Woman
Exponent, The Juvenile Instructor, and The Improvement Era,
which furnished them with the same news and inspirational
messages. But these periodicals have been superceded with the
magazines we now know.

Though progress and advancement
are welcome signs of growth, the past also contains much
knowledge and inspiration. These former periodicals are filled
with wonderful stories, admonitions, and humorous tidbits which
shape lives for good. LDS authors and researchers Joan Oviatt
and Joy Robinson, with several helpers, have sifted out
hundreds of gems from these former periodicals and presented
them in a delightfully palatable setting for modern readers.
They also have added items from their personal files which
serve to strengthen faith and extend the limits of present
knowledge.

Of Angels, Dreams, and Other Fine
Things presents their compilations in fifteen
chapters, each laden with delicious fruits from the past. They
are: Angels, Visions, and Dreams; About Women; Spiritual
Insights; Words of Wisdom; Attitude; Stories for Youth; The
Moral of the Story; Perseverance; Characters of Consequence;
Mormon Humor; Wisdom From Other Cultures; Youthful Humor;
Missionary Humor; Smiles Lift the Spirit; and Signs of the
Times: Stories for All Ages.

Combined in this volume
are numerous teaching stories, humorous anecdotes, wise maxims,
and other pearls which can be used in talks, lesson
presentations, family home evening lessons, and for personal
enrichment. A valuable topical index lists the contents under a
wide variety of subjects. Read and
enjoy!
