Daughters in My Kingdom

The LDS church recently gave a copy of this book to every woman in the church, for free. "Daughters in My Kingdom" is a book about the history and heritage of Relief Society.

Relief Society is the largest women's organization in the world. Every woman in the church over 18 years old is automatically a member of this great society. There are no membership fees. Each woman is a part of a great worldwide sisterhood.

This book opened my eyes to the great work Relief Society has been doing since it was founded in 1842. Relief Society is so much more than a meeting we attend during our 3-hour church services. The organization of Relief Society was an important part of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. Prophet Joseph Smith said that "The Church was never perfectly organized until the women were thus organized." The Relief Society and the Priesthood work hand in hand to build up the kingdom of God on earth.

After reading this book, I have never been more grateful to be a part of Relief Society. The heritage of Relief Society is rich, and I am excited to do my part to carry the work of Relief Society forward!
