The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) was founded in the 19th century by Joseph Smith, claiming to restore the true gospel of Jesus Christ. This book explores the early struggles of Mormons, their migration to Utah under Brigham Young, and their role in American history. Mormon theology, the Book of Mormon, and the controversies surrounding polygamy and church leadership are also discussed. Today, Mormonism is one of the fastest-growing religious movements. If you want to understand the history, beliefs, and influence of the LDS Church, this book is a must-read.
