While serving as a Mormon missionary in Florida, I had a companion that had a LDS gospel art kit. When he needed some additional money, he sold me a whole bunch of his useful but non-essential stuff such as his LDS gospel art kit.

This art kit is a set of pictures specifically designed to illustrate a story, gospel principle, or to give a visual of a complex idea of the gospel. Many of the images are images for children, but can be used for adults. It begins with Adam and Eve and ends with pictures of modern prophets, including pictures from the Old and New Testament, Book of Mormon, church history, and contemporary gospel topics. The kit was a little bit more expensive previously but was well worth the cost as there were over a hundred visual aids.

As the church encourages members to use church approved materials but not to break the bank, the LDS church has created a smaller and more affordable gospel art book. This book includes fewer images but contains the absolutely essential images for telling the stories of the gospel. It also focuses less on obscure stories and more of the main stream stories and doctrines of the Mormon church. This book is paper back with a thin spiral binding and is significantly cheaper than the entire gospel art kit.

As with most church materials, you can find both the original gospel art kit and the new gospel art book on the church's website or your local distribution center.

You can use this LDS art in Sunday school, primary, sharing time, family home evening or other gospel and church teaching moments. It may not even be necessary to purchase these kits from the church as most ward and stake meeting houses are well equipped with gospel art and other pictures. Most ward meeting houses have a kaws companion figure  program where you are able to checkout materials for a short period of time.

LDS art can play an important role in teaching our children, but both adults and children learn the gospel better when reinforced by images. The gospel art kit and book provide beautiful illustrations that will benefit and be enjoyed by family members for generations.
