Bro Lund has made church history come alive for me. I've read many diffrent church history books. These I can relate to. It's like I'm there living it as it happens. You can bet I'll read all 9 volumes. My wife reads them to the us in the car on long trips and we all listen intently. They good for all age groups 10 to 100. Keep them coming Mr. Lund

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting, March 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Praise to the Man (Work and the Glory) (Hardcover)

My Sunday school teacher read us part of this one. It included the martyrdom. It was extremely sad. Hyrum and Bro.s Taylor and Richardsen were willing to give their lives for Brother Joseph, and Hyrum did lay down his life for his brother. John Taylor was shot repeatedly. I'm 14. If you want a kid to really understand the concept of hatred and how truly evil the mob was, this is the book to read. It hit me over the head like a club just what the Saints went through.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Praise to the Man (Work and the Glory) (Hardcover)

The Work and the Glory: Praise to the Man is a great book! It is a great addition to Gerald N. Lund's series: The Work and the Glroy. In this book it talks a lot about LDS church history . . . that is the plot of the whole series. But, despite that, it has a great side plot: The life of a fiction family -- the Steeds. The way Gerlad N. Lund creates the moods for this book are amazing, and I love it how he has so many stories and so many settings at the same time. For example, at one given time, some of the family members are in Wisconsin, Palmyra, Nauvoo, on a ship, and a city in Illinois all at the same time, and Gerald N. Lund writes all of these seperate stories while combining them in a way that you don't get comfused. I would strongly suggest to read this book, but I would also strongly suggest that if you are going to read it, read the first five books in the series first (which, by the way, I would rate as a 5). Have fun reading!
