In 1820, a young farm boy in search of truth has a vision of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Three years later, an angel guides him to an ancient record buried in a hill near his home. With God’s help, he translates the record and organizes the Savior’s church in the latter days. Soon others join him, accepting the invitation to become Saints through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. But opposition and violence follow those who defy old traditions to embrace restored truths. The women and men who join the church must choose whether or not they will stay true to their covenants, establish Zion, and proclaim the gospel to a troubled world. The Standard of Truth is the first book in Saints, a new, four-volume narrative history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Fast-paced, meticulously researched, Saints recounts true stories of Latter-day Saints across the globe and answers the Lord’s call to write history “for the good of the church, and for the rising generations” (Doctrine and Covenants 69:8).

History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (originally entitled History of Joseph Smith) is a semi-official history of the early Latter Day Saint movement during the lifetime of founder Joseph Smith. It is largely composed of Smith's writings and interpretations and editorial comments by Smith's secretaries, scribes, and after Smith's death, historians of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The history was written between 1839 and 1856. It was later published in its entirety with extensive annotations and edits by B. H. Roberts as History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The first six volumes of this work cover the "History of Joseph Smith" from his birth in 1805 to his death in 1844. Volume seven covers the material from immediately after Smith's death in June 1844 until the church's first general conference in Salt Lake City._x000D_ Volume 1: 1805 – December 1833_x000D_ Volume 2: January 1834 – December 1837_x000D_ Volume 3: January 1838 – July 1839_x000D_ Volume 4: July 1839 – May 1842_x000D_ Volume 5: May 1842 – August 1843_x000D_ Volume 6: September 1843 – June 1844_x000D_ Volume 7: June 1844 – October 1848

Joseph Smith's monumental work, 'History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,' is a comprehensive seven-volume series that delves into the origins and early history of the Mormon religion. Written in a straightforward and chronological style, the book provides a detailed account of the key events, revelations, and challenges faced by the early leaders of the Church. Smith's writing is marked by his deep religious faith and his desire to document the history of his faith community for future generations. The book not only serves as a primary source for Mormon history but also sheds light on the religious and social context of 19th-century America. Each volume is filled with primary sources, personal accounts, and doctrinal teachings, making it a valuable resource for scholars of American religious history. Joseph Smith, as the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, wrote this comprehensive history to provide a record of the divine guidance and challenges faced by the early leaders of the Church. Smith's personal experiences, religious vision, and dedication to his faith are evident in the meticulous detail and spiritual insights found throughout the series. Written with a sense of mission and purpose, 'History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' stands as a testament to Smith's belief in the importance of recording and preserving the history of his religious community. I highly recommend this seven-volume edition to readers interested in Mormon history, American religious movements, and the foundational texts of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
