OUR DEAR YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN, we have great confidence in you. You are beloved sons and daughters of God and He is mindful of you.

The standards in this booklet will help you with the important choices you are making now and will yet make in the future. We promise that as you keep the covenants you have made and these standards, you will be blessed with the companionship of the Holy Ghost, your faith and testimony will grow stronger, and you will enjoy increasing happiness.

And within the ball were two spindles; and the one pointed the way whither we should go into the wilderness. What if, when you came into this world, you received a compass to guide you in your journey through life? How much better would your life be? How much more purpose, direction, and insight would you have? In the Liahona Principle, you will find that we all have access to such a compass. You will learn, as Nephi and Lehi of old, that there is a Liahona to guide us in life's journey, help us solve problems, and give us insight and understanding. You will learn how simple it is to use that Liahona and how profound its blessings can be. You will be inspired as you read stories of how others discovered what they needed to know, feel, or do as they looked into their Liahona. If you would like more inspired direction and enlightened purpose in your life, then the Liahona Principle is a book you must read.

"Generations of prophecy are fulfilled when Jesus Christ visits the people of the Book of Mormon following his crucifixion and resurrection. In his short time among these "other sheep," Christ teaches about the path of discipleship, inaugurating a centuries-long period of righteous peace and prosperity in Nephite society." -- publisher
