I’m proud to formally (and finally!) announce that ANASAZI Foundation and Berrett-Koehler Publishers have joined hands to publish The Seven Paths: Changing One’s Way of Walking in the World, in August 2013. Exciting, isn’t it? Well the story of how this all came about is just as exciting! So, since I’m finishing up my internship…

Zion and My Semester at Nauvoo
Every autumn whenever the leaves change color and the weather turns cooler, I remember Nauvoo. In the fall of 2004, I spent a BYU Travel Study semester in Nauvoo…and it was one of the most incredible, Zion-like events of my life. For over three months, I—along with 110 other students—studied Church History, American Literature, Pioneer…
Faith to Move Forward When My Brother Was Burned
This is the miraculous, true story of my brother David, but it’s a story about the strength and power of family during difficult times. But more importantly, this is a story about faith in God’s promises. One of my favorite quotes on faith comes from Boyd K. Packer. Said he: “You exercise faith by causing, or…

ANASAZI and WE
“You know, Seth,” my dad hesitated. “Maybe you should go to ANASAZI as a SinaguaWalker.” “What?” I said, frantically trying to read my dad’s mind. “It’s a program where people go to find themselves.” Find themselves, I sarcastically repeated to myself. I know that what that means. He’s not fooling me. I don’t need to…
Best Wedding Announcement Ever.
Here is our wedding announcement! Kim and I both wanted something different. We wanted something to help tell our story because whenever people would ask us, “How did you meet?” or “How long have you been dating?” we would give each other sideways glances and smile. A decade long story is sometimes hard to explain….
A Letter from Lloyd Alexander
Over the years, I have read a lot of books. I’ve read contemporaries and classics, short stories and long novels, biographies and histories, audio books and language books. I have read best-sellers and books that are out of print. I have read books in English and books in Russian. But through it all, my favorite…
