Soon, the Holston Conference delegation will depart for Forth Worth, Texas, to attend General Conference. So we asked these delegates, "What book is lying on your nightstand?"

They all replied, "I'm reading materials that we have to read before General Conference."

So we said, "OK ... Then what book will be lying on your nightstand after General Conference?"
