Saints The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days The Standard of Truth 18151846 edition by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints Religion Spirituality eBooks

Just days before I received a copy of Saints Vol. 1: The Standard of Truth, I was explaining to a group of friends how church history is a topic that has eluded me for the majority of my life. I’ve always felt like an outsider with my nose against the glass, watching as everyone else passionately feasted on facts, dates, names and stories that, for some reason, I struggled to find a connection to. Therefore, it is no exaggeration when I say that Saints is an answer to my prayers.
I’ve heard some make dismissive statements concerning Saints, comparing it to a children’s book because of the simplicity of its writing. However, one of the characteristics of the book that I found the most immediately powerful and engrossing is how accessible it is. There is beauty in simplicity and Saints is narratively beautiful in the way it weaves the diverse stories of early saints and binds them together. By doing so, I found my own story being woven in and bound as I read. I felt, as never before, that their stories are mine and mine, theirs.
The irony in the dismissive attitudes mentioned above, is that Saints, more than any other previous history of the church, does not shy away from challenging topics. It accomplishes the impossible task of blending milk and meat and making it palatable. As someone in my mid-thirties, I feel my generation has been negatively affected by the well-intentioned approaches of the past. We were often either quarantined from difficult topics, or false traditions and folklore were used to explain them away. Our current Prophets and Apostles are giving us a better way; immunization through transparency. This is what Saints will do for the “rising generation”. They will know our past (the beautiful and the ugly) and will be empowered by truth and knowing “things as they really are”.
Saints is engaging, surprising, heart-breaking and inspiring. It is the narrative history that we need right now. It is inclusive in the stories it tells, giving voice to marginalized saints that have had only whispers in the past. This, and the fact that it will be available in fourteen languages on day one, should be a pillar of light to all Latter-day Saints and to the world, that the standard of truth has indeed been erected. The truth that God loves and wants to reach all of His children.

Saints The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days The Standard of Truth 18151846 edition by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

I love this book. There was so much in here about how God has been working and helping His children to follow Him better.

I'd really recommend this for anyone who wants to understand the history of the LDS church.

I've been a member of the LDS church for years, yet this book brought additional clarity and understanding to me regarding many historical events, and that knowledge is a treasure to me.
This is a perfect narrative history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I've been reading the first few chapters and I can't put it down! If anyone is interested in learning more about the gospel of Jesus Christ, this book is for you!
I liked the way the book goes through the history in chronological order with easy to understand stories and concepts. It was light on philosophy and heavy and explaining the events surrounding the organization of the church. It was also quite an easy read.
The value of anything is manifest in its ability to outlast every obstacle and effort to destroy it. And of its people, as Jesus said, "..... by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 716-20.
Despite every effort to wipe them from the face of the earth from beginning to end there still lives a church that is most well known for the degree to which its believers live chaste, grow loving families, believe strongly in their church.
Despite all manner of persecution and adversity this book details, what has become a worldwide church is the same no matter where in the world you go.
This is an excellent book for learning the truth about the Mormon Church. FWIW - the church now says to call it The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - no matter what you call it, it's a cult. Another exceptionally well-researched book (and important, if you want accurately researched history) is No Man Knows My History, by Fawn Brodie.

Something to bear in mind - the Mormon Church has excommunicated people simply because they have exposed the facts. The church's traditional narrative about its history cannot hold up to factual scrutiny.
A perfect historical read for those of us enjoying simple, straight forward, inspiring accounts of faith
and fortitude. The true story of imperfect individuals, whose combined efforts miraculously restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As a Family Home Evening read aloud, "Saints" easily springboards into teaching and discussing Gospel Principles.
As a recent convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I had researched a lot of the anti-LDS history before joining. Amazingly, the vast majority of what I had learned before was addressed. If I have any complaints, it's how it was formatted for the ; putting so many footnotes at the end of each chapter ruined the flow somewhat. But I highly recommend this book, to member and non-member alike. Note this book covers only until 1846, when the Saints are beginning to leave Nauvoo.
