Honoring the Priesthood As a Deacon, A Teacher, and a Priest

When you were younger, you used to bring strange things into the house—like snakes or turtles or worms. Your mother would probably ask you, “What is that? Where did you get it? What are you going to do with it?”

When you receive the Aaronic Priesthood, you’ll bring that home with you too—and your mother will be thrilled. Maybe she’ll ask you the same questions: “What is that? Where did you get it? What are you going to do with it?”

This book tries to answer those questions—what the priesthood is, its origins and purpose, and what you can do to honor it. Using humor, stories, scriptures, and quotations from Church leaders, Honoring the Priesthood will help young men learn their duty in the Aaronic Priesthood and prepare them for advancement to the Melchizedek Priesthood.
