The Heavens Resound: A History of the Latter-Day Saints in Ohio, 1830-1838

The book arrived just a day or two after I ordered it. It was a hardback in great condition. The price was very low, and it was just what I was hoping for. Thanks!

For many of the same reasons the reviewer (and so-called 'objective' historian) Roger Launius dislikes this book (see his review here also), I thought it was excellent. I read this book as a novice reader of LDS Church history, and I loved nearly every page. The life of Joseph Smith and the history of the church he restored include some of the greatest stories of all time. This detailed account of the Kirtland years does not disappoint in its research and inspiring narrative, leading the reader through the triumphs and trials of the saints in Ohio. Readers like Launius may ridicule the book's lack of objectivity, but the truth is that Joseph Smith really was called of God and that the church he restored really is true. This book contains many evidences of these truths, and I strongly recommend it.
