Doctrine and Covenant Gems

Doctrine and Covenant Gems spells out the visions the Prophet Joseph Smith received in the early 1800’s, fulfilling the prophesied restoration of the Gospel and the Church of Jesus Christ in the latter days. The book follows faithfully the authorized scriptural volume, Doctrine and Covenants, including the use of identifying headings for each scriptural entry throughout the text, but makes it easy to grasp the essence of each passage by highlighting the Gem, or essence of the entry.

For a person interested in the far-reaching purpose and meaning of life here and beyond, Doctrine and Covenant Gems also shares from the introduction of the authorized 1981 Doctrine and Covenants edition, a summary, like a field of Gems, such revealed knowledge included in the book as follows: “the nature of the Godhead, the origin of man, the reality of Satan, the purpose of mortality, the necessity of obedience, the need for repentance, the workings of the Holy Spirit, the ordinances and performances that pertain to salvation, the destiny of the earth, the future condition of man after the resurrection and the judgment, the eternity of the marriage relationship, and the eternal nature of the family”.

What makes Doctrine and Covenant Gems particularly unique and valuable is its focus on each scriptural entry found in the volume by carefully separating it as a polished Gem. And further, placing an appropriate heading or label for each entry clearly facilitates a reader’s ease in grasping the essence of the revealed truths therein.
