Building on the inspired foundation laid in the first volume, Envisioning BYU: Volume 2 deepens the exploration of Brigham Young University’s sacred mission as a house of faith and learning and as a unique light among the world’s academic institutions. Anchored in the revelatory guidance of Doctrine and Covenants 88 and the prophetic vision of President Spencer W. Kimball’s Second Century Address, this volume brings together a new selection of pivotal speeches that further define and elevate BYU’s spiritual and educational aspirations.

Organized into three thematic sections—“A House of Faith and Learning,” “A Unique Light,” and “On Learning and Light at BYU”—this collection features addresses from Church leaders and university presidents that inspire, challenge, and clarify BYU’s role in the Lord’s plan. With bookends by President Dallin H. Oaks offering both historical insight and present-day perspective, and concluding with the powerful inaugural addresses of President C. Shane Reese, this volume invites readers to reflect on their personal role in helping BYU realize its prophetic destiny. A compelling resource for all who seek to understand, support, and fulfill the university’s divinely appointed mission, Envisioning BYU: Volume 2 continues the call to “lengthen your stride” and help BYU become what prophets have long envisioned it to be.
