Author's Note

The Principles with Promise series catalogs gospel principles found in scriptures with some measure of order. Unlike many undertakings in my life, this adventure did not start with an end in mind. What began as the answer to a simple question, “What are the commandments that I might keep them?” matured into this lifelong labor of love. 

Collectively, these principles seem to have a natural organization or order, and though each principle is independently declared at times, they are all interrelated in some way.  I have often described that order as being analogous to a rainbow with its many colors blending one into another – only this rainbow begins with a white light emanating outward from the center to the magnificent colors representing the principles that govern our world.

While Principles with Promise has captured thousands of principles cataloged under more than nineteen hundred key words, the work is not finished when this book is published – rather, it is like the rainbow with its endless array of colors and whose end you can never quite see. 

So here it is, a new kind of concordance to help you navigate your own sweet journey through the scriptures to understand the principles that govern life – God given principles that are unchanging, universal and eternal.
