I did not realize the amount of struggles early LDS members had to deal with, and yet it seemed their faith still managed to manifest so strongly. For example, members were readily willing to go into debt for the sake of the church, were willing to move 100s of miles on a moment’s notice from New England to Ohio and/or Missouri, and were willing to even lay down their lives against inciting mobs.

I thought this book was going to be a denser read, but it’s easily digestible. I appreciate that the sourcing is after chapters rather than lumped at the end. The history is straight forward, and it made me realize that Joseph Smith went through a lot since his earliest days. He had detractors all around him (even as a child), but he kept faith and was steadfast in his mission to find God’s church and himself.
