This text provides a particularly concise, understandable discussion of our modern-day scriptures. The commentaries, together with several charts and graphs, provide fresh new insights into essential and often misunderstood doctrinal concepts shaping the early Church.

This book describes the historical context of the publication of one of the canonic scriptures in the Mormon tradition.

Joseph Smith and the Doctrine and Covenants

Backman, Milton Vaughn

Deseret Book Co.

The twentieth century has been extremely significant in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. To have lived in the days of Joseph Smith and associate with him personally would have been wonderful. Or to have been a part of the unforgettable experience of the pioneers as they traveled westward. Yet the challenges and opportunities of the twentieth century hold a unique excitement. Not only in its worldwide growth, the church has seen many other significant developments in Church organization, programs, and activities. Even though the Lord has worked through fallible human beings and institutions, His hand can be seen. Not merely in specific incidents where inspired guidance was obvious, but also in the overall progress of his kingdom during the present century.

California Saints: A 150-Year Legacy In The Golden State

Homer, William E.

Sprinkled with interesting, little-known facts about the LDS church as it transitioned from the first generation of leadership in the nineteenth century into the next one hundred years that made up the twentieth century. By integrating the larger canvas of American socio-economic development as a backdrop, the author overlays and then highlights LDS history with pithy stories, pictures and sidebars of the actions and reactions of church leadership to the ever changing political landscape. It also helps clarify the development of various Mormon doctrines including stances on polygamy, tithing, welfare and missionary work.
