Strengthening Our Families: An In-Depth Look at the Proclamation on the Family
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- In 1995 the First Presidency and the Council
of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints published "The Family: A Proclamation to the World." In it,
these Church authorities boldly declared revealed principles and
doctrines about the relationship between the sexes, marriage, and
family life.
"Strengthening Our Families: An In-Depth Look at the Proclamation on
the Family" (Bookcraft, $39.95), edited by David C. Dollahite from
the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University, is a
compilation of essays by more than 80 well-respected LDS Church
theologians, sociologists, and lecturers that explores the
Proclamation in depth. The book offers hundreds of practical tips for
strengthening marriage and family relationships, guiding children,
and helping families in all kinds of challenging circumstances. The
rich doctrine and key principles of the Proclamation are studied and
evaluated, helping Church members learn its doctrines and apply them
in their lives.
"Strengthening Our Families" wil be used as a textbook in the
Department of Marriage, Family and Human Development at BYU. It is an
invaluable source of inspiration and understanding to general LDS
readers, parents, teachers, and Church leaders.
About the Editor:

development at Brigham Young University. He teaches the popular
course on the Proclamation on the Family. He was assisted in
