A Powerful Study Guide
Quickly gain a basic understanding of the Pearl of Great Price with the help of brief notes within and between the verses. Joseph Smith Matthew 24:2
2 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple; and his disciples came to him, for to hear him, Master, show us concerning the buildings of the temple, as thou hast said They shall be thrown down, and left unto you desolate [the disciples would like Him to give them more details about the coming destruction of the temple in Jerusalem]. The Savior s prophecy that the buildings of the temple would be torn down was fulfilled by about 70 to 73 AD as the Romans finally conquered the Jews and destroyed many of their cities.

These books are always so helpful, enlightening, and inspiring. The formatting on the Kindle version of this is absolutely terrible. Pieces of sentences end up in different places and you have to piece it together.
The content of this book was excellent. Easy to read and insightful it added depth to my personal study. I read the kindle version, and the formatting was so poor as to be a continual retraction from the excellent content.
