The Proclamation on the Family Made Easier

Unlock the mysteries of one of the most priceless revelations from the Lord! This invaluable study guide, written by David J. Ridges, addresses the surprising number of issues covered in “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” With an intentionally simple format, this book includes a copy of the Proclamation in each chapter and bold-faced subject matter for the reader to see “at-a-glance.”
Discover what the Lord has said on topics such as:

• premortal existence
• gender as a part of our eternal identity
• the importance of marriage and having children
• attributes of a righteous home
• the equality of fathers and mothers
• the causes of calamities in the last days

Members of the Lord’s Church sometimes wish they had lived in the days of the Prophet Joseph Smith when the Lord blessed his people with so many revelations, but we, too, live in a time when the windows of heaven are open. The Proclamation on the Family Made Easier is the perfect tool to enlighten our understanding of one of the most precious documents ever!
