History

Review by Terry C. Warner: The first precept I heard from the lips of Arthur Henry King was that an author is revealed by his work. Attitudes, prejudices, morality, commitments-all are unfolded in the works of any given author. At the very least, this expanded and edited volume, which draws upon Arthur Henry King's earlier work, The Abundance of the Heart, reveals the man without being overtly autobiographical. If this work reveals the man, he was a man of firm convictions, of great humility, and of guilelessness. He made the historical, the cultural, the philosophical accessible. In this book, this convert to the LDS faith affirms the life-changing experience of finding the Restoration of the gospel and then draws upon the understanding brought by it to recast the meaning of academic inquiry, tradition, judgment, language, education, effective writing, and wholeness. The depth and breadth of this book is that it is an expression of a man whose way of being in the world unfolds by his reflections on how the restored gospel transforms the meaning of everyday life and of our grand purposes here. Our salvation and our happiness hinge on being persons of commitment to light and truth. The world seems constantly to offer counterfeits to that light. The pure hearted can tell the difference. When those seeking to be pure in heart raise children, teach in homes and schools, are administrators in organizations, or seek to understand art, literature, or language, they see possibilities and understandings to which the worldly are blind. Arthur Henry King offers a light which helps illuminate. One measure of his success is that by the end of the book the reader discovers he or she has been turned not to the author, but to Christ; not to procedures, policies, or rules, but to the grand invitation to see earthly experience by being in the Restoration.

Behind the Iron Curtain: Recollections of Latter-Day Saints in East Germany, 1945-1989 (Byu Studies Monographs)

Voyages of Faith transports readers back in time to Pacific places touched in significant ways by Latter-day Saint missionaries and islander converts. Meet stalwarts like Kaleohano, Opapo, and Kinikini. Relive the opening of Mormon missionary work on Tubuai, the founding of Iosepa, and the LDS Church's expansion into Melanesia and Micronesia in the twentieth century. Solve historical mysteries such as whether there was a December 7, 1941, attempt to bomb the Hawaii Temple or whether the famous singing Mama Ruau groups of Tahiti originated with the Mormons. These intriguing questions and other historical topics are probed in rich detail in this commemorative volume containing highlights from Mormon Pacific Historical Society conferences over the past twenty years.

In April 1850, LDS Church leaders established an Iron Mission in southern Utah, where iron ore, coal and timber were plentiful. Among these first Iron County settlers were experienced iron workers from the British Isles. Between 1851 and 1858, this colony of hard-working Saints tried many smelting techniques, yielding objects such as pots,crank shafts and bells. 
Despite sustained, even heroic, efforts, the iron missionaries did not succeed. Nature itself worked against them. When the iron works closed its books in 1858, some of the colonists moved away. Yet the pioneers' legacy is still visible in Parowan and Cedar City--Iron Mission townships that have survived for over 150 years. 
A Trial Furnace chronicles the lives of people who transcended the practical, discovering in their wilderness crucible an inner strength and resilience more durable than the iron they came south to find.
