Drawing from a wide range of interesting and authoritative sources, this work provides explanation and comment on the full scope of subjects and issues relating to the determination of true doctrine for Latter-day Saints.

These include selected materials examining the following as they affect doctrine: The Scriptures or standard works; Prophets and apostles, the living oracles; Church Correlation; Gospel Knowledge; Scientific theories; Doctrinally oriented books; False doctrine and apostasy. Also scattered throughout this reference guide are many previously unpublished and little-known excerpts selected from the correspondence of a number of Church leaders and scholars, including Harold B. Lee, Joseph Fielding Smith, Bruce R. McConkie, and Hugh Nibley." If you're a collector of Mormon books you'll enjoy chapter one: "Church Books." Horne is also the author of a biography on Bruce R. McConkie, called "Bruce R. McConkie. Highlights From his Life & Teachings." He also authored "Called of God by Prophecy" and edited the Abraham Cannon Journals in "An Apostle's Record."
