• Death and Resurrection: Gifts from a Loving Heavenly Father, Donald W. Parry, BYU Education Week 2005. I liked this talk because it included a lot of information on death and the spirit world. It also includes some experiences some early saints had with either seeing the spirit world or being visited by someone from there. I guess this talk just gave some reassurance that my husband is alive and active and aware of me and our child. The talk is available at http://www.byubroadcasting.org/


• Favor Has Been Released Into Your Future (#363), Joel Osteen. I don't know what church this minister is affiliated with, but I really like him. He is a talented motivational speaker. Part of this sermon talks about the widow Ruth and how when she was scraping grain off the ground to survive, she could not see the good things that the Lord had in store for her future.

• Lessons on Healing, Elaine S. Marshall. I thought this talk made good, thoughtful points about healing. The main headings are (1) Healing Hurts, (2) Healing is Active, (3) Healing is Private, (4) Healing Teaches Us, (5) We Must Help Others Heal, and (6) Healing is a Divine Gife.

• Dark Friday, Bright Sunday, Joseph Wirthlin. This is a testimony of the resurrection and our eventual reunion with those we love. Available at www.lds.org.
