“It isn't always easy to give you a "why" for everything. But we owe it to you of the coming generation to do more than just say, "Don't!"

(Elder Boyd K. Packer, Conference Report, April 1963, p.107)

 

 

A Deseret Book bestseller, "WHY?: Powerful Answers and Practical Reasons for Living LDS Standards" was released in April 2009.  In teaching LDS youth over the last number of years, a common theme in many of their questions is the word "WHY?"  They want to know why they should fast, why they should dress modestly, why they shouldn't date before they are sixteen, etc.  This book provides youth with scriptures, the words of the prophets, statistics, and visual aids to explain some of the powerful doctrinal truths and practical reasons for living these standards.  This book is a great resource for youth, and parents and leaders of youth.
