"By studying the life and teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, we can see that he exemplified principles declared one hundred fifty-one years after his death in 'The Family: A Proclamation to the World.' Joseph told the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, 'A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.' Joseph Smith's prophetic legacy blessed all humanity as he restored doctrine regarding the roles of husband and father that are also reflected in the proclamation." [From author's introduction]
