In our day numerous challenges confront many families in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Effective, faithful Priesthood leadership has never been more important in the Church and in our homes.

Priesthood Leadership in the Quorum and in the Home is the product of almost twenty years' work. It was not written to replace any of the outstanding handbooks produced for our use by the Church; instead, Charles Kraut shares his experience in training Priesthood leaders and Priesthood bearers to help them better magnify the Priesthood they bear and to lead in righteousness.

In these pages you will learn how you may more fully apply the principles of the Priesthood in your daily life and utilize the Priesthood to become a better man, more worthy of the Lord's blessings and more capable of recognizing and comprehending the influence of the Spirit. This knowledge can make you a better Priesthood leader, husband, and father.

Charles' teachings in this book are complimented by those of a famous American, Mark Twain. The lessons he learned in the 1850s while training to become a Mississippi River pilot apply to us as we learn about the Priesthood of God.
