Transcript

[MUSIC PLAYING] This new history is a narrative history. It's comprised of four volumes. It covers from before the First Vision until the present day, and it's written in a literary form so that most members of the Church will find it very engaging, very easy to read. Church history helps us understand the lives of those who went before, the challenges and difficulties they faced, and how they overcame them. Their stories are full of faith and devotion and courage, sorrow and joy, and, again, a lot of challenges, particularly in the early days of the Church. But even today as the Church is introduced in many parts of the world, people sacrifice to join the Church and to change their lives and become active members. And so these stories are important to help remind us today that we too can overcome difficult things. It gives me hope that the Lord can work through imperfect people, even me. The whole entire content of all four volumes has been carefully researched by our historians. Then each manuscript has been reviewed by General Authorities, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and to the First Presidency for their review. So we hope this will be a source of inspiration to all who read it. [MUSIC PLAYING]
