Getting to Know the Doctrine and Covenants

Product Shot from March 2021 Friend Magazine

Jesus gave Joseph Smith special messages, called revelations, to help set up His Church. These messages were written down so people could remember them. Then Church leaders put these messages together in a book. That’s how we got the Doctrine and Covenants!
