Truth Will Prevail (Work and the Glory)

These books were amazing! It's as if the author almost convinces you that you were there. I'm a little picky when it comes to books, but I can definately tell you that this is one that I feel in love with. There were nights when I'd stay up until 4 in the morning reading-- and that's as a teenager in high school! I completely recommend everyone to read this, for it's hard to find books that are written better.

I really enjoyed Truth Will Prevail, third volume in the Work and the Glory series. It not only provides historical information about the of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It gives an inside look at the struggles and difficulties of the church in a fun and interesting way. Lund, describes the character's joys and sorrows in a way that you feel that they're your own joys and sorrows too. It would also give a someone not a member more information about the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints that is often misunderstand. They may also find answers to their questions, if they have any. In volume three, Truth Will Prevail, it contiues the story of a fictional family. A family who is acquainted with Joseph Smith the leader of the church and the restoration of the gospel. This refers to the establishment of the church. It gives detail on the events that occurred in the world in this period of time, that affected the Church. In this volume, most of the characters are confronted with new struggles and joys that will leave you wanting to read more. I think that it's a great book for all ages.

While I am a younger member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or "Mormons" as we are better known I have a strong belief in the church and though my family was not always with the church to hear of the struggles that the early members went through to bring us the church we have today makes me so grateful to them, and builds my faith all the more. This is a book for people of all ages wether it's a bedtime story for kids or an interesting look at their history for adults or teens like me. This is also a great book for non-members, because there are so many misconceptions about the church ,and this books shows the trials and the truths of the begining of the church. I would like to thank Brother Lund for making such a moving and interesting book, by taking the reader into a fictional family, namely, the Steeds to experience true church historical events alongside them. Thank you.

I have read the nine volume series of the Work and the Glory and have just finished Fire of the Convenant. These are books that I will read again many times. It helped me to feel a part of these difficult times in the Church history, and made it come alive for me. Thank you Brother Lund!

I have read all volumes of the series and I thank Mr. Lund for the experience of being able to go back to the 1800's and experiencing the work and the glory of the Mormon pioneers. I feel like I have a much better understanding of what happened and why. I enjoyed the books and feel that this last volumn was one of the best of the series.
