Families everywhere are searching for ways to make scripture study more meaningful. That’s why Deseret Book is joining forces with The Red Headed Hostess, a trusted name in scripture study guides and teaching tools, to make gospel learning even more accessible.

Founded in 2010 by former seminary teacher Shannon Foster, The Red Headed Hostess began with just a few simple resources designed to help families apply principles of effective teaching and learning. Since then, it has grown into a full suite of study guides, digital kits, and even an app—resources that are not only doctrinally sound but also beautifully designed. These tools help individuals and families approach the scriptures with clarity and confidence.

“Scripture study has the power to change families,” Shannon explains. “Our mission has always been to help people spend more time in scripture and discover the joy that comes from receiving your own insights.”

For Deseret Book, this collaboration builds on its long legacy of providing resources that inspire faith and bring people closer to Jesus Christ. Deseret Book President, Laurel Day, says, "We’re excited to join forces with The Red Headed Hostess to help families fall in love with scripture in personal and lasting ways.”

Through this new partnership, customers can find The Red Headed Hostess guidebooks and other physical products exclusively at Deseret Book stores and deseretbook.com. Learn more about the age-specific guidebooks below.
