MESSAGE FROM THE
FIRST PRESIDENCY

This book is designed as a companion to your
study of the scriptures and the teachings of latterday
prophets. We encourage you to refer to it as
you study and apply gospel principles. Use it as a
resource when you prepare talks, teach classes,
and answer questions about the Church.
As you learn gospel truths, you will increase
in your understanding of Heavenly Father’s eternal
plan. With this understanding as a foundation
for your life, you will be able to make wise choices,
live in harmony with God’s will, and find joy in
living. Your testimony will grow stronger. You will
remain true to the faith.
We are especially mindful of youth, young
single adults, and new converts. We promise you
that through regular personal prayer and study of
the scriptures and the doctrines of the gospel you
will be prepared to withstand evil influences that
would deceive you and harm you.
May this book strengthen you in your efforts
to draw near to the Savior and follow His example.

The First Presidency
