Since the coming forth of the Book of Mormon in 1830, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has added millions of people to its global membership. Crucial to its initial growth were converts from Great Britain who emigrated to join with other Latter-day Saints in the United States. Many, however, also stayed in the United Kingdom in order to establish a presence of the Church there. 
In The Latter-day Saint Image in the British Mind, authors Malcolm Adcock and Fred E. Woods explore the multifaceted perspectives of British people outside of the Latter-day Saint faith tradition and how these people’s perceptions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members generally have improved over time. In doing so, they present historical accounts, particularly through literature, film, and media reviews depicting Latter-day Saints and their faith. In addition, they utilize over a hundred face-to-face interviews and surveys of over a thousand Brits to determine how citizens of the United Kingdom perceive the Church in the twenty-first century.

On his way to Carthage, the Prophet Joseph Smith passed by the Nauvoo Temple for what would be his final time, his gaze lingering upon the nearly completed sacred building, and declared, "This is the loveliest place and the best people under the heavens." The stories of those faithful people, who felt the magnetic pull of the gathering to erect a temple, are some of the most tragic, and some of the most inspiring accounts in Church history. Laced with many captivating eyewitness narratives, GATHERING TO NAUVOO provides vivid detail of the experiences encountered by hundreds of converts as they traveled through thousands of miles of trial and triumph to gather to the "City Beautiful." These powerful accounts include testimonies of miraculous preservation of life through the use of priesthood power, which rebuked not only disease, but also the winds and the waves. Seagoing Saints also relate the joys and sorrows of the ocean crossing, ranging from dancing and singing to debilitating illness and sober sea burials...."

Notwithstanding the frigid circumstances, a genuine warmth emanates from the Alaskan Saints. The match that lit this internal flame was the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, first striking the Alaskan borders at the turn of the twentieth century. The Latter-day Saints have subtly shaped Alaskan society, although composing less than five percent of the state s population. Their influence on Alaskan communities can be seen through their family values, humanitarian service, community projects, and family history centers. This book tells the story of the rise and influence of Latter-day Saints as they joined hands on their journey of melting the ice. Alaska has one of the highest per capita populations of Latter-day Saints of any state in the nation, yet no scholarly history has been written about the LDS Church in the Last Frontier. Until now. Fred Woods s Melting the Ice is an engrossing read about how many dedicated individuals have contributed to the social and spiritual development of Alaska. Ross A. Coen, Editor,
