In preparation for the bicentennial General Conference, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the First Vision, President Russell M. Nelson has invited us as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to reflect on the message of Joseph Smith's life. Here are 5 fascinating books on the Prophet Joseph Smith to help as you study and prepare for this Springs' General Conference.
Joseph Smith, who was he? What was he like? How did he accomplish so much in so little time? In this enlightening eight-lecture series, Dr. Truman G. Madsen presents a fascinating history of the first prophet of the Restoration. He offers deep insights into the life of this great man, adding his own witness of Joseph Smith's calling.
George wrote in his review, "I have listened to these lectures many times while traveling and always gain a deeper understanding of the greatness of Joseph and his sweetheart Emma."
It has taken over 3,500 years for modern science to catch up with what Abraham and Moses learned so long ago. Their words, as revealed by Joseph Smith, may yet contain many other hidden wonders that today's science can only dream of. Discover the astounding scientific truth behind Joseph's writings and translations in this remarkable volume written by renowned scientist, Dr. Richard Ingebretsen.
Christian wrote in his review, "I ordered this book to help my 6-year-old understand space and time in a gospel context and I was not disappointed. It was clear and concise. The author does a tremendous job of explaining how religion and science can co-exist. It was both inspiring and educational, which is a true rarity. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants a better understanding of God, His nature, and how science fits in."
Prepared under the direction of the Prophet Joseph Smith, these seven lectures on faith helped early Church leaders and missionaries incorporate the most fundamental principle of the Gospel with greater understanding than ever before. This seminal volume is a precious reminder to Latter-day Saints of their unique doctrinal heritage. It is an essential resource for those seeking the blessings inherent in a careful study of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
