When I first looked upon him, I was afraid but the fear soon left me. The room was exceedingly light, but not so very bright as immediately around his person. “Not only was his robe exceedingly white, but his whole person was glorious beyond description, and his countenance truly like lightning. I could discover that he had no other clothing on but this robe, as it was open, so that I could see into his bosom. His hands were naked, and his arms also, a little above the wrists so, also, were his feet naked, as were his legs, a little above the ankles. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen nor do I believe that any earthly thing could be made to appear so exceedingly white and brilliant. “He had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. “While I was thus in the act of calling upon God, I discovered a light appearing in my room, which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air, for his feet did not touch the floor. “On the evening of the…twenty-first of September, 1823 …I betook myself to prayer and supplication to Almighty God….

Like the other books in the series do far, it provides important historical information that illuminates why the Church is the way it is today, but (more importantly) they also provide spiritual nourishment. In particular, I will mention that the section about World War II was, for me, the most dramatic, powerful, and engaging section of the entire series so far. Overall, they managed to still pull it off very well. One concern I had going in was that as the Church continues to expand, there becomes more and more threads to follow, leading to less focus in the narrative. The volume provides a good balance of “greatest hits” in stories from the era and introduction of lesser-known narratives and voices in an accessible way. Using a format where actual quotes from historical documents are placed in the text also allows key quotations from significant sermons and documents to be embedded in the text, something that I have greatly appreciated in both this volume and the previous one. A few well-known Latter-day Saints like Neal Maxwell and Gordon Hinckley also are given moments to shine later in the book.

As time passes, the narrative shifts its focus onto other individuals, including lesser-known Latter-day Saints like Paul Bang in Cincinnati, Ohio Helga Meiszus in Germany Evelyn Hodges in Utah the Cziep family in Austria and Chiye Terazawa in Hawaii. Along with these people, other individuals from Church History are used as the ensemble of characters for the book, such as B. In the early parts of the book, Susa Gates continues to be a central character, along with her daughter Leah Dunford and son-in-law John Widtsoe. The writing style of the book is very readable, continuing the approach of being written in the style of a novel with focus characters throughout.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this volume.

It covers a time of growth and transition for the Church and discusses shifts and decisions at Church headquarters in Utah that are significant in shaping the institution today expansion in Europe, Central America, South America, and Asia the development of the welfare programs of the Church during the Great Depression and the experiences of Church members in the two world wars. Picking up after the ending of the previous volume at the dedication of the Salt Lake City Temple, this volume begins with the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 and wraps up with the dedication of the Bern, Switzerland Temple in 1955.

Saints: The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days, Volume 3: Boldy, Nobly, and Independent, 1893-1955 is a fantastic addition to the Church’s official histories.
