 stock image, actual book may vary Joseph Smith, America s preeminent visionary and prophet, rose from a modest background to found the largest indigenous Christian church in American history. Without the benefit of wealth, education, or social position, he published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was twenty-three; organized a church when he was twenty-four; and founded cities, built temples, and attracted thousands of followers before his violent death at age thirty-eight. Rather than perishing with him, Mormonism migrated to the Rocky Mountains, flourished there, and now claims millions of followers worldwide. In Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling , Richard Bushman, an esteemed American cultural historian and a practicing Mormon, tells how Smith formed a new religion from the ground up. Moving beyond the popular stereotype of Smith as a colorful fraud, the book explores the inner workings of his personality his personal piety, his temper, his affection for family and friends, and his incredible determination. It describes how he received revelations and why his followers believed them. Smith was a builder of cities. He sought to form egalitarian, just, and open communities under God and laid out a plan for ideal cities, which he hoped would fill the world. Adopted as the model for hundreds of Mormon settlements in the West, Smith s urban vision may have left a more lasting imprint on the landscape than that of any other American. He was controversial from his earliest years. His followers honored him as a man who spoke for God and restored biblical religion. His enemies maligned him as a dangerous religious fanatic, an American Mohammad, and drove the Mormons from every place in which they settled. Smith s ultimate assassination by an armed mob raises the question of whether American democracy can tolerate visionaries. The book gives more attention to Joseph Smith s innovative religious thought than any previous biography. As Bushman writes, His followers derived their energy and purpose from the religious world he brought into being. Some of the teachings were controversial, such as property redistribution and plural marriage, but Smith s revelations also delved into cosmology and the history of God. They spoke of the origins of the human personality and the purpose of life. While thoroughly Christian, Smith radically reconceived the relationship between humans and God. The book evaluates the Mormon prophet s bold contributions to Christian theology and situates him culturally in the modern world. Published on the two hundredth anniversary of Smith s birth, Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling is an in-depth portrayal of the mysterious figure behind one of the world s fastest growing faiths.

 stock image, actual book may vary In this book, James Coates tackles the mysterious Mormon Church. In 1823, Joseph Smith claimed he beheld an angel named Moroni on his father's impoverished farm near Palmyra, N.Y. According to Smith, Moroni--a resurrected member of a vanished American tribe that migrated to America from Israel--had appeared to him in order to guide him to a hill called Cumorah. There, by using a "seer stone," Smith apparently uncovered an Old Testament-era breastplate inscribed with the names of God's saved and a pair of sacred stone spectacles called the Urim and the Thummin. He also claimed he found plates that contained the text of the Bible before it was corrupted by the established church. No one ever saw these marvelous objects; according to his scribe, when Smith dictated the Book of Mormon, he "would put the seer stone in the hat, drawing it closely around his face to exclude the light; and in the darkness the spiritual light would shine." Nonetheless, this rambunctious visionary gave rise to a religion that inspired folks from Brigham Young to humble European factory-workers to risk death crossing the prairie to the high, dry haven of Salt Lake City. Today, an aging hierarchy of these "Latter Day Saints" struggles to live down the outlaw days of polygamy and blood atonement both still practiced by the survivalist fringe . Coates describes how Mormons remain both wildly mystical baptizing ancestors for the millenium with the aid of huge computers and shrewdly pragmatic grooming presidential advisors, including Brent Scowcroft and Steve Studdert . "The Saints" Coates says, "wrested this trust and power from their fellow citizens by operating with unmatched devotion and fidelity to a set of principles foreign in the extreme to all that mainstream Judeo-Christian traditions hold sacred." A solid, well-researched account of a visionary religion that has survived like the toughest pioneer. -- Kirkus Reviews

 stock image, actual book may vary A dramatic account of Christ's ministry, as seen through the eyes of those who would follow him. In Come Unto Me, volume 2 of the bestselling series The Kingdom and the Crown, Simeon of Capernaum wrestles with how to undo the damage wrought by his reluctant conversion to a man called Jesus of Nazareth. His determination to follow the teachings of the Master has cost the life of one friend and sent three others to a Roman prison to await execution. How can he stay true to the teachings of Jesus, which require that he love his enemies, and yet deliver the friends who face death because of him? A similar dilemma faces Miriam of Jerusalem. Her father, along with the other leaders of the powerful Sanhedrin, are determined to stamp out the growing popularity of this itinerant preacher from Nazareth. But Miriam too has found Jesus to be far more than a mere man, and this poses a terrible choice for her - will she follow family or faith? From the Galilee to Jerusalem to the great city of Rome, Come Unto Me continues the story of the people whose lives are forever changed by the teachings of a simple carpenter from Nazareth. Award-winning author Gerald N. Lund masterfully blends the biblical account of the greatest story ever told with unforgettable fictional characters in this dramatic epic.

The conditions were perfect for inducing deep, dark despair; four-plus months of incarceration; scant and poor food; primitive and dirty accommodation; virtually unrelieved gloom. Yet from Liberty Jail, the "prison-temple," there emanated revelations so sublime as to constitute a towering witness to Joseph Smith's prophetic calling and powers. The thick prison walls confined only the Prophet's body, Elder Maxwell observes, while his mind and spirit soared to commune with heaven. Betrayed and unjustly imprisoned, he here met perhaps his greatest earthly test- to see large-scale suffering among his people, to bear cruel injustices with patience, fortitude, and Christian meekness, as enjoined by scriptures revealed through him. Here he pondered and consolidated in mind and heart the great Restoration doctrines for which he had already been the conduit. Here he wrote to the Church inspired words of transcendent sweetness and power, many of them profoundly revelatory and laden with unique insights. In his uniquely creative style the author opens up to the reader the spiritual and doctrinal gains arising from this period of reflection and revelation. The result is a major contribution to a developing understanding of the Prophet Joseph and his work, particularly of principles that exercised his mind during that trying period- such as priesthood, revelation, premortal existence, foreordination, the mortal experience, and the necessity of adversity in one's spiritual development. In terms of eternity, the Prophet's trials were "but for a small moment," but as this book stimulatingly portrays, the principles, doctrines, and insights we learn from his experience are timeless.

 stock image, actual book may vary Duties and ponderings have occasionally stirred the author to prepare drafts of sermons which, for one reason or another, were not spoken; or perhaps only small portions were extracted and used. Other times, a talk has been prepared for which there was neither occasion nor audience. Whether the author simply needed the spiritual calisthenics which go with such added preparation, it now matters not. These "Sermons Not Spoken" are here printed for audiences unseen, but with no less desire that somehow, for them, they will prove helpful. As always, it should be said that this is not an official Church publication. The views expressed herein are those for which the author alone is solely responsible. Genuine appreciation is expressed to Daniel H. Ludlow and Roy W. Doxey for their review of and suggestions concerning this manuscript and to Susan Jackson for processing, so patiently, the flow of words.
