Through stories from her personal life, professional experiences, and Church service, Sheri Dew illustrates how we can increase our spiritual capacity to receive revelation and better understand our own unique personal mission. She shares her experience serving as the first unmarried woman in the Relief Society general presidency, and urges us to build bridges to people who may not feel, for a variety of reasons, that they belong or fit in the Church. Sheri inspires us to recognize how seemingly ordinary women can be extraordinary in their faithfulness, diligence, and dedication to Jesus Christ and His Gospel. She shares the power and blessings that come from asking questions, and committing and recommitting ourselves to patterns of temple attendance, scripture study, and obedience.
