A computer-animated video featuring the March 2008 special issue of the Ensign and Liahona is now available on the new Web page SpecialMagazine.lds.org.

The video testifies of the Savior Jesus Christ and visually outlines the contents of the March 2008 magazine issue, which is focused exclusively on Christ. It describes the messages and testimonies included in the magazine and emphasizes the central position of Jesus Christ. The video can be linked to or downloaded and e-mailed to those who may be interested in the message or in obtaining a copy of the magazine for themselves.

SpecialMagazine.lds.org provides information on accessing the magazine or its contents in several different ways. To obtain the special issue, visitors can download the issue in PDF format, order a copy or subscription at ldscatalog.com, or visit the Web site JesusChrist.lds.org, which includes the full text of many of the articles from the magazine.

After this initial focus on the March 2008 special magazine issue, we will use SpecialMagazine.lds.org to highlight the other special issues of the magazines.
