Summary
This is the current lesson Doctrine and Covenants 37-40. I talk about answers to prayers through the Doctrine and Covenants, watching our close associations, and lots of other stuff.
Here is the song “The Rising” that I was talking about. Sorry Nashville Tribute band, I couldn’t find an official video put out by you.
Check out my book, "Feasting on the Words of Christ," where I share a simple, five-step method for receiving answers to your prayers through the scriptures. You're really going to love it!

| 0:07.8 | I'm your host, Melanie Straub. |
| 0:09.7 | This is Doctrine of Covenants 37 through 40. |

| 0:50.7 | voices of the restoration at the end of the outline. And it tells the story of Phoebe |
| 0:55.1 | Carter. And you should go back in the manual and read it because it's really good. And I don't think |
