Knowing what to believe and how to determine authenticity is one of the great quests of our age. In this book, Stephen and Rebecca Lundwall suggest that to evaluate the authenticity of the Book of Mormon, readers must analyze its provenance—its journey through time, its ancient custodians and modern witnesses, and the miraculous process of its publication and trajectory into a worldwide, 200-million-book phenomenon despite the historical resistance, prejudice, and violence that have surrounded it. The Book of Mormon is a rare book whose creation and transmission seem designed to withstand the test of time, a remarkable record of ancient provenance made possible only by divine providence.
This book explores key themes in the progression of Wilford Woodruff’s early discipleship during his missionary service in the US and Great Britain. Through his vivid and extensive personal account and within the broader context of Church history, this book highlights his dedication to the principles of hard work, obedience, careful recordkeeping, gratitude, and consecration. These themes provide rich material for personal study; lessons in Church, seminary, or institute; supplemental reading to Come, Follow Me; or mission preparation. Readers will find valuable insights from the story of one man’s life journey that can be applied to their own path of discipleship.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was not established in any part of South America until a hundred years after the restoration of the Church. In 1925 Elders Melvin J. Ballard, Rulon S. Wells, and Rey L. Pratt dedicated South America for the preaching of the gospel and organized the South American Mission. This book examines the beginning of the Church in South America and the different approaches to missionary work during this period. As Elder Ballard accurately predicted, “The work of the Lord will grow slowly for a time here just as an oak grows slowly from an acorn. . . . The South American Mission will be a power in the Church.” South American members now represent over 25 percent of all Church members worldwide.
This book is designed to supplement the 2025 Doctrine and Covenants Come, Follow Me Church curriculum year. The Doctrine and Covenants beautifully illustrates that the Lord Jesus Christ lives and speaks today. By integrating both spiritual and secular understanding and insights, this volume explores how the Doctrine and Covenants teaches doctrine, principles, laws, prophecies, typologies, and gospel applications.
Our inner critical voice can block our ability to recognize and use our unique gifts and talents that are essential in our quest to learn, progress, and become better people despite the challenges of life. Written with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in mind, this book follows proven clinical methodologies and offers helpful faith-based principles and perspectives that also can be effective for anyone struggling with self-defeating tendencies. Readers will explore key steps to identify, reject, and rise above their inner critical voice to discover, cultivate, and preserve their deeper, wiser, and authentic self. The goal is unlocking hope, long-term healing, and personal, social, and spiritual empowerment.
