Your youth can also use this as a 10 hour project for personal progress and a Duty to God goal. This project fits perfectly with this year’s youth theme: Come Unto Christ. If you have kids of various ages, I would encourage you to find a way to do this with your teenagers, maybe on a Sunday evening (in addition to your regular FHE with the entire family). (Something really meaningful for those baskets!) For families with teenagers, newlyweds, or empty nesters, it’s a simple but incredible addition for your Family Home Evenings. Read Doctrine and Covenants and Church History Study Guide for Home-Study Seminary Students by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints available. I believe this is even more pertinent as our missionaries are leaving at an even younger age.Įaster would be a perfect time to begin this family project. It took us nearly eleven months, but what an amazing experience we had studying and discussing the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. My kids did a lot of their reading on Sundays. I bought paperback copies through Deseret Book. It will be readily seen that the author has departed from the course usually followed by writers on the Life of Jesus Christ, which course, as a rule, begins with the birth of Marys Babe and ends with the ascension of the slain and risen Lord from Olivet. There are 42 chapters in this book, so we read four chapters each month and then discussed those chapters the last Family Home Evening of each month. The scope of the subject presented in this work is expressed on the title page.

This inspired book was written inside an office in the Salt Lake temple at the request of the First Presidency.Īnd just as you can’t eat an elephant in one meal, we started nibbling away at this project one bite at a time.

We committed together to read and discuss “Jesus the Christ” by apostle James E. At the time, our son was a high school junior and my youngest daughter was living at home attending college. Two years ago our family took on a yearlong project that had quite an impact on us.
