Idea: We have modern revelation.... so why not additional books of scripture?

We believe in continuing revelation. It is one of the big ideas of Mormonism and what gives such great power to LDS theology. We love it. We are not limited, except by our own ability and inclination to seek revelation. But oftentimes, we live below our potential and don't enjoy what we could. Of course, personal revelation is just that - Personal. But there is an abundance of talks and writings that are every bit as good as some scripture and perhaps even better.

And whatsoever they shall speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost shall be scripture, shall be the will of the Lord, shall be the mind of the Lord, shall be the word of the Lord, shall be the voice of the Lord, and the power of God unto salvation. D&C 68:4


So, I am going to compile talks and any other writing that is sufficient to be scripture and great enough to be canon.

Enjoy
