ABC's of Being LDS: Living the ''Mormon'' Lifestyle

by Teena Read

Overview

When Teena Read joined the Church in 1962 she was, to say the least, overwhelmed. Not only was she attending a new church and practicing a new religion, but she was living a completely new lifestyle.

After years of slipping back into her more comfortable, familiar lifestyle, and several attempts to reactivate, Teena found that many new members, and even some "old" members struggle with the culture of this dynamic religion. Her solution: write a book!

The ABCs of Being LDS: Living the Mormon Lifestyle contains everything a new member, or even a life-long member of the Church, would need to know about the Mormon culture. In 26 chapters, Teena Read covers everything from the format of Sunday meetings, to preparing to attend the temple, to helping new converts and returning members feel welcome and at home in their ward. Embrace the Mormon lifestyle, and learn the ABCs of being LDS!
