"Mormon" Doctrine Plain and Simple; Or, Leaves from the Tree of Life

A clear, systematic presentation of Latter-day Saint beliefs arranged as twelve concise leaves explains foundational principles such as faith, repentance, and the role of the Holy Ghost; it emphasizes the necessity of divine authority and priesthood offices for valid gospel administration and outlines church organization and mission. The text recounts the origin of the Book of Mormon and claims an apostasy followed by a restoration, describes ordinances including baptism and proxy work for the dead, and discusses resurrection, immortality, and the order of the hereafter. It treats marriage and eternal family organization, including plural marriage, as central to exaltation and frames redemption as a progressive restoration.
