I borrowed this book from a friend, and then had to have my own copy. You will fall in love with the Steed family as they struggle with the challenges that faced the early church years. Gerald Lund does a tremendous job weaving a make believe family in with Church history. After reading this book, I had a greater love for Joseph Smith and the trials and joys that came with being the first latter-day prophet then I ever knew I could have. I was taught he was a very down to earth man, but never believed it until I read this book. What an amazing man. You will gain a better understanding of Joseph Smith and what he stood for, and gain a testimony of his unfaltering faith. A fantastic book!
I bought this book to read on a long drive, and by the time we arrived at our destination two days later, I had finished the book. I couldn't put it down. I went home and ordered the next two in the series immediately. I now have the entire set, and love them all. If you want to know more about LDS church history, this series makes you feel as if you were there. You can really feel the feelings they must have felt and it brings church history alive like nothing else I've ever read. Highly recommended!
Glad to have it, I had the entire set except for volume 1. Now I have a very well taken care of edition. Pleased overall.

I bought this to complete the series. He is an excellant author and I buy and devour all his books. Once I start them it is hard to put them down until I am finished. I have many and always check for new ones. I especially recomend The Work and the Glory series of nine books.
