From Anne Drage
I’m (John Hilton III) working on my doctorate degree and part of what I’m studying is what happens when books are made available for free.
I’ve been working with Deseret Book and they have made 8 of their books available for FREE DOWNLOAD at http://deseretbook. com/free. Several of the of the books are ones I thought you might be interested in. The books are:
1. Please Pass the Scripture (by me - John Hilton III).
2. What I Wish I Would Have Known When I Was Single (by John Bytheway).
3. Women at the Well (by Richard and Jeni Holzapfel).
4. Digging Deeper (by Robert Eaton).
5. 10 Secrets Wise Parents Know (by Brent Top and Bruce Chadwick).
6. Growing Up: Gospel Answers About Maturation and Sex (by Brad Wilcox).
7. Saving Kristen (by Jack Weyland). (fiction)
8. The Hidden Path (by C.B. Andersen). (fiction)
I’ve read part or all of all of these books and they are great. If nothing else, I recommend that you go download them all and save them for future reference as they will only be available online for free for a short time.
Could you forward this information on to others who might be interested? You could post it on Facebook too. I want to help share these great, free resources with as many people as possible. Some of the books help you get more out of the scriptures. Others are good for parenting. Some are just plain fun. Go check out http://deseretbook. com/free. I hope you like the books!

“Tips from Debbie”
Just when you thought could not possibly find another use for baking soda ………. Cleaning Silver-Make a paste:3 parts baking soda,1 part water. Rub paste on silver with a clean cloth or sponge. Rinse off paste thoroughly then dry pieces. Works on sterling, silver-plate and stainless steel.
Microwave Mop-up- Wipe down the inside of your microwave with a clean, damp sponge sprinkled with baking soda. Rinse wipe with water. Freshens the place up! You can also clean the outside of the microwave with this method.
Prep Area Wipe-down- Before preparing foods, clean the prep area by sprinkling baking soda on a clean, damp sponge (or cloth). Scrub down cutting boards, counter tops, stainless steal sinks and more. Baking soda is a natural, food-safe cleaner and a good choice for cleaning surfaces that come in contact with food.
Safely Clean Toys- Fill a sink or bucket with 1 quart warm water and stir in 4 tablespoons of baking soda until dissolved. Wash toys using a clean, damp sponge or cloth, rinse, then dry. Cleans and deodorizes toys effectively without using harsh chemicals.
Grill Scrub- Clean grimy grills by sprinkling baking soda on a damp grill brush then start scrubbing. For extra nasty grills, make a paste of 3 parts baking soda and 1 part water–then scrub paste all over the grill with a damp brush.
Car Cleaner- No worries about scratches, clean car lights, chrome, windows, tires, vinyl seats, floor mats and ash trays. Use a baking soda solution of 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart of warm water. Apply with a sponge or soft cloth to remove road grime, tree sap, bugs, and tar. For stubborn stains use baking soda sprinkled on a damp sponge or soft brush.
Garbage Can Freshener- Sprinkle baking soda between layers of garbage as it grows to keep stinky smells from growing strong. Periodically wash out the garbage pail with 1 cup of baking soda per 1 gallon of water
