"The ideal place to learn the gospel is at home. Your teachers at church can support you, and you can get encouragement from other ward members. But to survive spiritually, each of us needs daily nourishment from 'the good word of God.'"

"You might say the Doctrine and Covenants is a book of answers to prayers: many of the sacred revelations in this book came in response to questions. The question that began it all—the one that sparked the latter-day outpouring of revelation—was asked by a 14-year-old boy. A 'war of words and tumult of opinions' (Joseph Smith—History 1:10) had left Joseph Smith confused about religion and his relationship with God. Perhaps you can relate to that. We find many conflicting ideas and persuasive voices in our day. When we want to sort through these messages and find truth, we can do what Joseph did. We can ask questions, study the scriptures, ponder, and ultimately ask God. In response to Joseph’s prayer, a pillar of light descended from heaven. God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared and answered his questions. Joseph’s testimony of that miraculous experience boldly declares that anyone 'who [lacks] wisdom might ask of God, and obtain' (Joseph Smith—History 1:26). We can all receive, if not a heavenly vision, at least a clearer vision, illuminated by heavenly light."

"Even though we love the gospel, fear and doubt might keep us from sharing it. But the Lord is merciful. He 'knoweth the weakness of man and how to succor [us]' (Doctrine and Covenants 62:1). Scattered throughout these revelations to early missionaries are reassurances that can help us overcome our fears and shortcomings: 'I am able to make you holy.' 'All flesh is in mine hand.' 'I am with the faithful always.' And 'He that is faithful and endureth shall overcome the world.'"

"Even before we were born, we were part of a family—the family of our heavenly parents. That pattern continues on earth. Families here, at their best, are meant to echo the perfect pattern in heaven.
Of course, there are no guarantees that earthly families will be ideal or even functional. But as President Henry B. Eyring taught, families 'give God’s children the best chance to be welcomed to the world with the only love on earth that comes close to what we felt in heaven—parental love' (“Gathering the Family of God,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 20). Knowing that families are imperfect and subject to attacks from the adversary, God sent His Beloved Son to redeem us and heal our families. And He sent latter-day prophets with a proclamation to defend and strengthen families. If we follow the prophets and put faith in the Savior, even though mortal families fall short of the divine ideal, there’s hope for families—on earth and in heaven."

This book is an instructor’s manual for studying the Doctrine and Covenants at home or church. It may be used for formal group instruction or individuals can use it for self study. Combining lessons and teaching ideas for children to adults in one book is brilliant. This book is available in print or online. The online version includes an enormous number of links to supplemental materials such as pictures, videos, music, and talks.

Great help in studying, especially if you answer the questions and follow the hundreds of links to scripture, speeches and hymns. Of course, great weekly resources for children
