“The story of the establishment of the Church is one of faith, consecration, and joy. It is the story of men and women from all walks of life who sought for the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and, upon finding it, were willing to pay the price of becoming the Savior’s disciples...As we learn more about the faith of those who have gone before us...we can determine to live more righteously as faithful disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ” (from Our Heritage). Hands-on Church History, by Discover the Scriptures, will help your and your family discover and love the early saints. You will read their testimonies and be inspired by their courage.
You will need Doctrine and Covenants Stories to use with Hands-on Church History. Reading assignments are made from Doctrine and Covenants Stories and optional extra reading for older children is from Our Heritage. Both are available at lds.catalog.com and can also be viewed online at lds.org. With Hands-on Church History, get ready to LOVE Church History!
