Letters to Young Lovers

Foreword

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to receive a letter from a prophet? Would you have the courage to open the envelope and read its contents? LYL 6.1

Throughout this book are letters written under the inspiration of God and addressed to young people to help them make the right choices relating to their courtship and marriage. LYL 6.2

Some background material relating to the circumstances and persons involved has been introduced by the compilers. This appears on a page preceding each letter. Some lengthy letters have been abridged without deletion marks indicated; names have been changed. Additional counsels, some taken from letters, have been included in the various chapters. LYL 6.3

At no time in life is the right kind of counsel so important as when two young people are contemplating marriage. Since the Lord loves you and wants you to have eternal life and a happy home, perhaps the reading of just one of these letters will help you to have both. LYL 6.4

We invite you to “open the envelope” and read what the Lord has said to others like yourself. LYL 6.5
