Comprehensive review of the Revelations

Enjoyed listening; but found it difficult to follow as the discussion was not completely chronological. Would have liked to also follow along with a text document.

Wonderful historical truths

I am very blessed to have found this book. I love to read firsthand accounts of Church and American history.

Would like to have the sections of D&C included

I loved the history and would love to have this recording compiled with the sections of D&C so the chapters in this book would become extended chapter headings for the revelations themselves. and then I could listen to the sections with the context fresh in mind.

Perspective !

So many times we learn about the revelations without understanding why the revelation was given. I understand sometimes we just need to take revelations on faith. However there are so many lessons to be learned when we have the opportunity to look at the circumstances of life for the people who the revelation was given. This book as helped me feel closer to the early leaders of the church. To feel there struggles. To relate there doubts and fears to my own and take comfort in the revelations they received.

Helps everything make sense

These were real people with real birthplaces and in the census records back in the early days of our republic when our laws didn’t protect freedom of religion. They lived very difficult lives and risked their lives to seek truth and proclaim truth and I would be proud and grateful to be a true witness to such prophetic events.
