LDS Director Ryan Little Working On New Feature Film 'Out of Step'

New Products: Books for Youth
Loyal readers of Chris Heimerdinger's popular 'Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites' series are glad to see his latest installment in the popular series. "Warriors of Cumorah" takes the series heroes to the last battle at the hill Cumorah, making it the last book in the series -- at least we assume so. But Heimerdinger isn't the only popular youth author who has a new product out. Comic youth speaker John Bytheway has a new talk on CD out, and Cedar Fort is providing a new guide for those leaving their youth -- and moving on to a mission.

Bestsellers: Evans' New Book Looks At His Own Experiences
Richard Paul Evans, author of the runaway bestseller "The Christmas Box," has a new book on the best seller lists -- but one that addresses the previous bestseller. In "The Christmas Box Miracle" Evans looks at his own experiences as "The Christmas Box" went from a modest self-published book to become a runaway bestseller. The other books on national bestseller lists are also familiar. Stephen R. Covey's "Seven Habits" is still there, and Stephen Ambrose's "Nothing Like It In The World," which is back in paperback.

But the festival is also trying to reach those that can't make it to Provo.

Release of new video titled: 'In Search of Ancient Cumorah'
This groundbreaking video asks; Is the Hill Cumorah near Palmyra, New York the same hill spoken of in the Book of Mormon ? Is the site where Moroni hid an abridgement of the record of his people the same place where his father Mormon hid up the vast Nephite record handed down from one generation to another over an entire millenium ? Is Palmyra the place where two great nations perished in battle?

A Study Companion to the Doctrine and Covenants
