The Work and The Glory Vol.9

very good story line, well researched, interesting to anyone interested in history of Mormon pioneers.

Great end to great series

This is the final volume in the Work and the Glory series. It is a great story, with a lot of historical information.

Great Book !!!!!!!!!

This book is a great book once I started reading it I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. I learned so much history and truth from this book. Who ever has a interest in reading this I would really recommend it.

Bravo Brother Lund!

I read All 9 Volumes in 10 weeks. I fell in love with each member of the Steed family. I laughed, I cried. My husband teased me constantly about my emotional involvement with this fictious family. I have recomended it to members and non-members alike. The real people in the churches history came alive for me like never before. I can't wait to read them again... this time out loud with my 9 year old daughter. Bravo Brother Lund!

These books are beautiful!

I'm an aspiring writer, and have wondered how to bring my religious beliefs into my writing, yet keep my own style. Gerald Lund has succeeded in this challenge admirably. He has preserved the historical context of the early Church, yet has created a personal aspect that could make any artist cry. Joshua's personal trials and growth kept my continual sympathy, and I smiled to read of the simple family joys of the Steeds. The sorrows were there too, and the shattering conflicts--the deaths, poverty, and sickness of the most-loved characters, and their sympathy with actual historical figures. I also admired this author's ability to insert fictional characters into real events with minimal interference, adhering closely to all known occurences and headcounts. I, along with others, am sometimes disappointed by the Steeds' role on the sidelines, but so many other families--like my own large collection of LDS ancesters--were little-mentioned in the records we have, out of the many who traveled west with and after Brigham Young. I appreciate that the author lets us know when he changes anything, and even gives his sources. These books are truly a work of art, simply good to read for members and nonmembers. I'm sad they're over, but will always say to the author, well done!
