First Block

While many popular songs glamorize girls behaving badly, one singer/songwriter from Mesa, Arizona is making waves with a very different message. The new music video for Rick
Hale’s song “Where the Good Girls At” describes a young man’s struggle to find a classy girl.

“It was hard to find a way to portray ‘bad girls,’ without including anything too racy,” said Hale. “But I thought it would be ironic and funny to show girls doing immature pranks that
guys are typically guilty of.” The song doesn’t pull any punches. The catchy tune is laced with humorous jabs at scandalous pop culture icons and alludes to hit songs like “Area Codes” by Ludacris and “Teach me How to Dougie” by Cali Swag District.

“Where the Good Girls At” is a bonus track on Hale’s latest album “Brightness,” which can be purchased on iTunes. Hale started writing the song a few years ago after talking with
friends about how hard it is to find a girl with traditional values.

Second and Third Block

Even the Prophet’s most vehement critics—then and now—can at least agree on one thing: Joseph Smith was murdered in cold blood. This account begins in October 1838; Joseph is thirty-two years old and has less than six years to live. This fast-paced, driving narrative provides a factual account leading to the murder and is sure to capture the attention of Latter-day Saints and those not of the faith.

RYAN C. JENKINS has been a student of the life and teachings of Joseph Smith for nearly 25 years. After obtaining his Master of Education from Weber State University in 2004, Ryan began writing opinion pieces for Northern Utah newspapers on family, freedom, politics, and religion. He was a blogger on the subject of faith for two years; many of his posts were featured on realclearreligion.org. He was also an associate editor for Great American Documents for Latter-Day Saint Families (2012). Professionally, he has experience in business, public relations, and religious education. He has been teaching and writing for 18 years. Ryan and his wife Melissa have six children. They reside in Columbia, Missouri.
