The True to the Faith booklet is an excellent resource for youth and adults. This Church publication takes a topic-by-topic approach with simple explanations of gospel subjects. It was designed to be especially mindful of youth, young single adults, and new converts. The 190-page booklet contains approximately 170 entries on topics listed alphabetically from Aaronic Priesthood to Zion. In addition to teaching gospel principles in a simple yet inspiring way, each entry also contains scriptural references for further study of any topic. In the introduction, the First Presidency states that the underlying purpose of the publication is to help all readers strengthen their efforts “to draw near to the Savior and follow His example.”
In 2004, they were sent to each ward with instructions to provide them to all youth and new converts. As a bishop, I make sure that every new young woman and young man in my ward receives a copy of the booklet.
True to the Faith is available online in text and PDF formats or you can order a printed copy for US$2.00 at LDSCatalog.com. The book is published in 46 languages.
For personel examples of families and youth using True to the Faith, see the news item in the Around the Church section of LDS.org.
In 2004, True to the Faith became an official part of the missionary library, along with Preach My Gospel.

Hmmm, I thought that the Book of Mormon was the preferred, most perfect, contains the fullness of the Gospel, material we had. What happened to ‘You can get closer to God…(by reading the Book of Mormon)’ quote?
Who wrote it?
Sure, the Book of Mormon is the most correct book on earth. This booklet is not more correct. It’s just a handy reference about lots of doctrinal subjects.
It is a Church publication, reviewed and approved through the normal channels. It includes an introductory message from the First Presidency endorsing the book.
