Ever noticed the links “Prepare a Lesson” and “Prepare a Talk” on LDS.org? These are quick links to two very helpful pages in the Gospel Library (GospelLibrary.lds.org):

The Prepare a Lesson page contains quick links to resources to help you prepare a lesson, including links to

• Current Lesson Manuals for each of the Sunday classes. Once you find the lesson you need, you can choose the View PDF option to print the pages of that lesson just as they appear in the published manuals. You can also copy and paste the text into a word processing document so you can print out just the parts you intend to teach. You can also print out quotes or portions of the lesson so you can hand them to students to read during the lesson.
• Scriptures and study helps.
• Teaching, No Greater Call teaching resource book, which helps parents, teachers, and leaders improve the spiritual and technical aspects of their gospel teaching.
• Worldwide Leadership Training meeting on Teaching and Learning, which provides great ideas on gospel teaching and learning.
• Gospel Art Book (GospelArt.lds.org) with 137 color pictures that can be used in teaching.

The Prepare a Talk page contains quick links to resources to help you prepare a talk, including links to

• Gospel Topics (GospelTopics.lds.org) provides an alphabetical list of topics related to doctrine, policies, history, and practices of the Church. Most entries include a brief summary, a more in-depth explanation, related scriptures, related articles from Church magazines, and additional online resources related to the topic. You can browse through the hundreds of topics, or click Answers to Questions on the left (answers.lds.org) to search on a word or phrase. The Gospel Topics section may be a good starting point for your research on the subject of your talk.
• Magazines (magazines.lds.org) provides direct access to the Church magazines (Liahona, Ensign, New Era, and the Friend) where you can search for the information you need from each of the magazines individually, then copy and paste the text you need into a word processing document.
• General Conference (GeneralConference.lds.org) provides archives in text, audio, and video of the general conferences of the Church in many languages. You can search conference talks for information on the subject of your talk, then copy and paste the text you need into a word processing document. Tip: You can use the LDS.org search feature to search the text of just the general conference addresses (rather than all the text on LDS.org) by entering the keywords you want to search for, then choosing the General Conference option before clicking the Search button. This will search just within the general conference addresses. You can also choose the Advanced Search Options to filter your search by date or speaker. Choose speakers from categories, such as Quorum of the Twelve, or click Author Name and type in the name of the speaker.)
• Scriptures (scriptures.lds.org) provides the online text and audio of the scriptures and scripture study helps, such as the Bible Dictionary, Guide to the Scriptures, Joseph Smith Translation, and maps. The site has a search tool with multiple options. The site also allows users to mark/bookmark and save favorite scriptures.
• Ten Tips for Terrific Talks is an article from the Ensign that gives ideas to help you prepare and deliver your message better.
