We Believe: Doctrines and Principles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been in publication for nearly 20 years now and has sold
over 70,000 copies. It has become one
of the most popular, most quoted works in LDS publishing. It was first published in 1994 in a single volume of
1208 pages. This first edition included declarations from the
Scriptures and latter-day prophets and apostles up to the mid 1980s.
When it was first released, the LDS Church placed a copy in every LDS
Seminary and Institute worldwide. Since 1994 it has gone through 12
printings. In 2008 it went through a major revision and update in which
declarations after the mid-1980s were added as well as many others
throughout Church history. Hundreds of new declarations were added which
expanded the work to nearly 1,600 pages and forced us to split it into 2
volumes. At this time We Believe was also developed into and eBook for
use on computers and mobile devices. The electronic edition has gone
through numerous developments and updates to ensure its continued
compatibility with the many devices and to provide the best experience
for its users. Hundreds have called it "One of the Best LDS Reference
Works Ever Published!" This essential work is a must for every
Latter-day Saint. It is especially useful for teachers and speakers, but
it also clarifies for the inquisitive what the LDS (Mormon) Church
believes.To Purchase a copy of We Believe in paper or ebook format, Click Here
