The book had a paragraph about how God reaches out to people through prophets, and people reject them. The book also talked about the evidence of God reaching out again to a prophet named Joseph Smith, and the evidence of that was found in the Book of Mormon.
My favorite paragraph in Preach My Gospel, first edition, says, Throughout history God has had a pattern of reaching out to people through a prophet. People have had a pattern of rejecting the prophets and rejecting him. Then it says, Consider our evidence that God has reached out again to a prophet and spoken to his children. The prophet's name is Joseph Smith, and the evidence of this is found in a book, the Book of Mormon. I've loved the way they put that. God has reached out again, and this time we've got evidence. Here it is, the Book of Mormon.

The book was referenced for a specific sentence within its pages, which describes the desired outcome of becoming lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ.
I know that there's lots of missions around the church that have their missionaries...this is verse 13...behold i am a disciple of Jesus Christ the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people that they might have everlasting life. I was thinking about this because I wanted to say this there is a line in the new "Preach My Gospel" that I think is one of the best lines. It's the title of a lesson. It's on page 76 and it sounds like the outcome that we are all going for and here's this sentence: becoming lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. That you could unpack a lot in coming which you've already mentioned Craig at the process lifelong not part time or one time but lifelong disciples and we know what disciples are. There's discipline and play. It's just a great phrase. This is what it's all about. President Nelson might say stay on the covenant path in another way say it become a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ.
