A Harvest of Revelation was created to help you prepare your heart, capture personal revelation as you listen, and return to the messages throughout the next six months.
This full-size General Conference notebook includes:
Thoughtful preparation pages to help you come to Conference with questions and an open heart
A different illustrated note page for every talk with plenty of room for impressions, quotes, connections, and invitations
Six guided ways to revisit each message
Faith-filled coloring pages for keeping your hands busy while your heart listens
Speaker-at-a-glance, session theme, and talk-tracking pages to help you see Conference as a whole
Meaningful review pages for recording answers received, what you learned about Jesus Christ, and questions that are still growing
The harvest-inspired artwork moves from preparing the soil and planting seeds to gathering, preserving, and enjoying the harvest. Each section was designed especially for Latter-day Saint women who want more than blank lined pages, but do not need one more complicated system demanding their attention.
This printed notebook features sturdy, smooth interior paper and flexible coil binding, so it lies flat while you write and travels easily to church or your favorite study spot.
Let A Harvest of Revelation help you gather the messages the Lord has for you in this season and keep cultivating them long after Conference weekend.
A Few Cozy Extras
Every notebook comes Conference-ready with a Faith Guides pen, highlighter, cozy socks (colors vary), and access to a collection of digital Conference extras.
