She also enjoys sewing, music, quilting, making stained glass windows, and photography — none of which she currently has time for. She has published in the ENSIGN and in various books and journals. She taught part-time for the BYU School of Family Life for several years after completing her doctorate. She wrote her first book at the request of the BYU students taking her class on the Family Proclamation. The book, FAMILY FOUNDATIONS, is about healthy individual adjustment and marriage and family principles. This August, Sister Anderson’s second book, CHOOSING GLORY, will be released. This second book takes one chapter in FAMILY FOUNDATIONS on the Three Realms Perspective and develops the idea, applying the perspective to individual life choices, dating, spouse selection, marriage, parenting, and personal progression.The Anderson family has lived in Oklahoma, Chicago and for 15 years in Las Vegas, where they mostly raised their family. In Las Vegas, Sister Anderson taught both early morning seminary and two Adult Religion classes for several years. Her greatest love, after the gospel and her family, is teaching.from http://lilianderson.com/about/ ...more
