  The table is not in the order in which they were presented, but you can examine it to choose the Topic and Direction that you or your family may wish to focus on. This should make it useful as a guide to refer to for Family Home Evening, Class Lessons, your own Talks and for your own personal progress. 

  Since this is the current word of the Lord from His servants, it has the Spirit and specifics for improving our lives and those of the people we can influence in this wayward world. The Priesthood received the most challenges in this list and we would do well to take those items seriously.
