Teachings of the Prophets fills the ongoing need for quick, easy access to recent statements of LDS leaders on important topics–those subjects which come up frequently in family discussions, Church classes, and members’ dialogues with LDS and non-member friends. The author assembled 62 major subject headings and then researched extensively to identify statements on those subjects.
Teachings of the Prophets is not commentary or interpretation, nor is it comprised of selective partial quotes. It is the exact, full statement on the particular referenced topic as it appeared, or if the citation is not available for independent publication, it is a precise summation of the statement’s meaning and location. Many of the cited quotations are not well-known or readily accessible in other Church publications, so this collection will save considerable time and effort for the user. This is an excellent reference book to add to an individual’s library of essential books on the Restored Gospel.
