Our Title of Liberty (Latter-day Politics for Latter-day Saints) was written to help members fulfill the scriptural charge to "befriend the Constitution", also the charge issued by latter-day prophets to get involved in the political process by supporting righteous candidates and political causes. Our Title of Liberty examines the parallels between scriptural and political history so that today"s political conditions can be judged using Gospel principles preached by prophets both ancient and modern. Our Title of Liberty starts with the politics of the war in heaven, discusses spiritual stands on political issues, party affiliation, media bias, and the role of America in fulfilling religious prophecy. Our Title of Liberty relies heavily on scripture, as well as statements from the general authorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, mostly from the pulpit at General Conference. From the chapter: "In Memory of Our God..." "Imagine if you lived in one of the cities where Moroni paraded through with the Title of Liberty crying with a loud voice, saying: "Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, let them come forth in the strength of the Lord, and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights, and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them." Now picture yourself on the right side of the political debate, hastening to answer the call to accompany Moroni, and then helping him accomplish that important work. Now picture yourself answering that same call today."
