“My testimony...is that Joseph Smith’s successors who are the Presidents of the Church, together with the other prophets, seers, and revelators, have given counsel and instruction by revelation as a continuation of the onward destiny of 'the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth’ (D&C 1:30).”—Roy W. Doxey

In the Preface to the first volume of his Latter-day Prophets and the Doctrine and Covenants, Roy W. Doxey outlines two driving motivations for his exhaustive work: One was a profound belief in the power of prophetic utterances to inspire, and the other was a “conscious need for more Latter-day Saints to become acquainted with this marvelous book of scripture.”

What Brother Doxey produced is a book of scriptural commentary unlike any other, drawn entirely from the sermons and writings of General Authorities sustained as prophets, seers, and revelators—from Joseph Smith and his counselors down to Gordon B. Hinckley.

True to Brother Doxey’s vision, readers of this work (published for the first time in two affordable volumes) will find inspiration in its pages, and will see the Doctrine and Covenants in a new light as a living, breathing work, wide enough in its expanse to embrace all truth.

Volume 1 covers Sections 1 through 76.
