Three years later, an angel guides him to an ancient record buried in a hill near his home. With God’s help, he translates the record and organizes the Savior’s church in the latter days. Soon others join him, accepting the invitation to become Saints through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. But opposition and violence follow those who defy old traditions to embrace restored truths. The women and men who join the church must choose whether or not they will stay true to their covenants, establish Zion, and proclaim the gospel to a troubled world. The Standard of Truth is the first book in Saints, a new, four-volume narrative history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Fast-paced, meticulously researched, Saints recounts true stories of Latter-day Saints across the globe and answers the Lord’s call to write history “for the good of the church, and for the rising generations” (Doctrine and Covenants 69:8). A Book Review:5/5 stars - Best history ever written of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day SaintsI've read every history I know of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - good, bad, anti-Mormon and apologetic. This is simply the best. It is a narrative history that flows and is written so that the average person can understand what is being covered. It covers the founding of the Church and what triggered the boy Prophet, Joseph Smith, to ask God as the Bible directs in James 1:5 better than any other work. It is amply foot-noted and covers the stops and starts of the founding of the Church without pretending that Joseph Smith, nor his early organization, were perfect. Narrative history means that the history book follows a time-line and explains and includes stories about people and occurrences as it goes along. Past, non-narrative histories tended to segregate happenings based on subject or geography which makes it hard to place when and where and what exactly was happening in the various Church locations. On a personal note, one of my great-great grandfathers, as a boy of 12, immigrated to Nauvoo from England and had just enough money to make it to the city and was left standing on the dock on the Mississippi River with no money, no food and nowhere to go. A man and his wife who had come down to greet the boat noticed the boy and invited him into his house where he remained to manhood. The man and his wife, Joseph and Emma Smith, are the main characters of this first volume of the 4 - volume work. Their incredible story, faith and sacrifices left me almost tearful. Another strength of the book is how well it described the years of the Church being persecuted in Missouri. I almost didn't want to read any more of it as the beatings, rapes and murders of the Saints by the Missourians went on and heartbreakingly on. And it's all here - warts and epiphanies included. The miraculous Book of Mormon, the friends who betrayed Joseph Smith, The beginnings of polygamy and the economic failures of the Church in Kirtland. The wondrous Pearl of Great Price and the visions and blessings at the temple in Kirtland. Sacrifices and sublimities. Rascals and heroes. I can't wait for the next volumes. I highly recommend this book to any serious student of the founding and early years of the Church of Jesus Christ. It sets a new standard for clarity and comprehensiveness that future historians must study and cite if they wish to have their works taken seriously. 5 Stars.--USAF Veteran Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc.
