Back cover: I do not know fully why God has preserved my life to this age, but I do know this: that for the present hour he has revealed to me the absolute need for us to move the Book of Mormon forward now in a marvelous manner. You must help me with this burden and with the blessing which he has placed on the whole Church, even all the children of Zion.—President Ezra Taft Benson
