Books to Help "Spring Clean" Your Mind and Spirit

As we enter March, those little hints of Spring can start to be felt in a variety of ways. The days are getting longer, the sun is out more of the day, and there’s a general feeling of renewal that is beginning to fill our days. During those first initial days of Spring, there is always a strong feeling of renewal and of course… Spring Cleaning!

Although actual Spring Cleaning is a fantastic opportunity to clean our physical spaces, there’s an even greater feeling of “Spring Cleaning” our minds and behaviors. It’s a similar feeling as to when we began the new year, setting resolutions and goals for what we wanted to achieve this year. Many of us have probably wavered a bit on some of those resolutions, but Spring gives us another chance to renew and stay committed to what we want to do.

One of the best ways to do a little “Spring Cleaning” of our minds is to find great new books to read, and maybe a journal to record our thoughts and impressions. At LDS Bookstore, we have a huge selection of inspiring books to help clean both your external and internal space. Scroll through a selection of some of our favorites.
