# Master Outline & Reading Path
*The living chapter list. Chapters get added/refined as material comes in. `[NEEDS YOUR INPUT]` = author to supply.*
## Reading Path (teaching order, for a newcomer)
Proposed sequence for teaching a child/descendant from zero. Reorder freely.
1. Front matter — letter to the reader.
2. Part II — Family Canon (who we are, why this exists).
3. Part I — Doctrine (what we believe).
4. Part IV — Practice & Devotion (how we live it).
5. Part V — Battle Manual (how we protect + fight).
6. Part III — Testimony (why it's real — read once mature).
7. Part VI — Reference (lifelong lookup).
