For more than 150 years, Come, Come, Ye Saints, the anthem of the pioneer journey, has praised Salt Lake City as the place which God for us prepared. This new book from Brigham Young University s Religious Studies Center analyzes the fulfillment of that poetic longing and features chapters discussing Salt Lake s place in our sacred story. Topics include histories of significant landmarks (the Salt Lake Temple, the Tabernacle, Ensign Peak, and the Salt Lake City Cemetery) and stories from the city s past. Because Salt Lake is the world headquarters of the Church, the book also contains histories of Music and the Spoken Word, Church correlation, family history, and LDS Family Services. The reader will see connections between the revelations of Joseph Smith and Salt Lake City as a modern city of Zion the place, indeed, where the Saints have been blessed.

Dreams as Revelation

Throughout recorded history, the Lord has used dreams as a means to communicate with His children. In Dreams as Revelation, BYU Church history professors Mary Jane Woodger, Ken Alford, and Craig Manscill share guidance and counsel from prophets as well as their own insights to help readers recognize when a dream is revelatory in nature. With a foreword by Robert L. Millet, this book also includes chapters about scriptural dreams and Joseph Smith’s dreams, as well as original accounts of hundreds of carefully selected dreams, including dreams of the Savior, temple work, and more. In addition to being personally applicable for how to understand your own dreams, this interesting and informative book is a valuable resource for talks, lessons, and family home evenings.
