What do you really know about the Constitution?  Jump start your BYU education with an inside look at the document that defines America.  “The Words We Live By” is a powerful introduction to the Constitution written by award-winning author Linda R. Monk.  This summer, join with over five thousand entering freshmen to read the book everyone will be talking about during their first semester at BYU!

“The Words We Live By” is an engaging, fascinating book full of anecdotes and relevant cases intended to help readers gain a solid understanding of the Constitution.  Universities are hotpots of political opinion and discussion, and your reading will help you place today’s issues in Constitutional context.  The BYU community will be addressed by Chief Justice John Roberts and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid this fall and “The Words We Live By” will help bring you up to speed for the remarks of these important political figures.  The book will also be discussed in many of your first year courses, and the Constitution will be covered in detail during a challenging class called American Heritage.  “The Words We Live By” is an invaluable tool in preparing for an exciting and successful first year at BYU.

Students and professors all over campus have been asked to read “The Words We Live By”.  Join the discussion that will begin during New Student Orientation and continue throughout your first year at BYU.  You can purchase a sale-priced copy for only $10 from the online BYU Bookstore website.
