Surely President Ezra Taft Benson
has been raised up by the Lord to lead His Church during this pivotal era of
world history. In a day that wickedness runs rampant and liberty hangs in the
balance, it is no coincidence that the Church is being headed by so valiant a
proponent of freedom and righteousness. By asking us to focus on the Book of
Mormon, our patriot prophet has pointed us to a key to preserving our freedom
both individually and as a nation. I think I share the sentiment of many when
I express love and appreciation to him for his courageous messages and his
shining example. We hope that we can do all within our power to lift the
condemnation that has rested upon the children of Zion because of neglect of
the Book of Mormon. My hope is that this book I have written will help people
see more clearly how to use the Book of Mormon as the Lord intended. I also
hope to show how the Book of Mormon confirms the principles which our Prophet
has so boldly proclaimed since the time he was called as an Apostle.
Hopefully, these messages will inspire people to hearken to the Lord's
anointed prophet, lest they realize the fate explained in Ezekiel 33:30-33.
