I meant to post about this a few weeks ago, but BCC Press has published a print edition of In the Image of Our Heavenly Parents. (The ebook is still available as well.)

I’ve got a new exhibition coming soon! It opens next Friday, February 3, at Writ & Vision in Provo, and runs through Saturday, February 25. The show will feature the twelve illustrations at the head of each chapter of In the Image of Our Heavenly Parents: A Couple’s Guide to Creating a More Divine Marriage (edited by McArthur Krishna and Bethany Brady Spalding).

My friend McArthur and some others made a lovely new video, Mother in Heaven: A Cherished Doctrine. Happy Mother’s Day.
