(Come to know and love the mothers of the latter- day prop...)
Come to know and love the mothers of the latter- day prophets in the pages of Mothers of the Prophets. Your testimony will be strengthened as you see how the Lord sent each of his prophets to a home with a mother to love, nurture, and teach helping to prepare that child to eventually lead the Church in this dispensation. You will be moved by their personal stories and touched by their faith. Originally written by the father- daughter team of Leonard J. Arrington and Susan Arrington Madsen, the third edition of this classic book was updated by daughter and granddaughter Susan Arrington Madsen and Emily Madsen Jones. Expanded to include all the mothers of the latter- day prophets through President Thomas S. Monson, and enhanced with photographs throughout, this book is a compelling reminder of the power of a mother s influence.

(Present a warts-and-all portrayal of the United Order thr...)
Present a warts-and-all portrayal of the United Order through all of its phases in LDS history. Dealing frankly with its failures and the causes for those failures, the authors manage to still uphold the principles of the system as inspired, and the failures as necessary stepping stones in the continuing movement among Latter-day Saints to provide social welfare.

(Brigham Young comes to life in this superlative biography...)
Brigham Young comes to life in this superlative biography that presents him as a Mormon leader, a business genius, a family man, a political organizer, and a pioneer of the West. Drawing on a vast range of sources, including documents, personal diaries, and private correspondence, Leonard J. Arrington brings Young to life as a towering yet fully human figure, the remarkable captain of his people and his church for thirty years, who combined piety and the pursuit of power to leave an indelible stamp on Mormon society and the culture of the Western frontier. From polygamy to the Mountain Meadows Massacre to the attempted preservation of Young’s Great Basin Kingdom, we are given a fresh understanding of the controversies that plagued Young in his contentious relations with the federal government. Brigham Young draws its subject out of the marginal place in history to which the conventional wisdom has assigned him, and sets him squarely in the American mainstream, a figure of abiding influence in our society to this day.
