About This Book

A compilation of authoritative letters and messages offering practical guidance for the community’s spiritual and administrative development, with sustained appeals for fundraising, temple construction, and intensified teaching campaigns. It sets organizational objectives such as forming national and regional assemblies, pioneering to new territories, and consolidating expansion in Europe, Africa and the Americas, while addressing budgeting, credentials, and program priorities. Interwoven with calls for prayer, sacrifice, and perseverance, the material also responds to persecution, records notable achievements and losses, and balances visionary aims for global order with concrete instructions for committees and individual believers.
