Download or read book The Personal Writings of Eliza Roxcy Snow written by Eliza R. Snow and published by . This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the most famous woman in Mormon history, Eliza Roxcy Snow was a person of high standing and many accomplishments. She married Joseph Smith secretly in 1842 and wed Brigham Young after Smiths death. She was also the sister of Lorenzo Snow, fifth president of the LDS Church. Best known as Zions poetess, her prominence also earned her the appellations of priestess, and prophetess. Capable of producing a poem for virtually any special occasion, she came to be considered the first lady of Mormon letters, having written, by her own count, nine published volumes. Her leadership among Mormon women is demonstrated by her positions as president of the Relief Society (the churchs organization for women), president of the Deseret Hospital Association, and organizer of the Young Ladies Mutual Improvement Association, the childrens Primary Association, and the Womans Commission Store. Compiled in this volume are her autobiographical writings, including Sketch of My Life, originally written for inclusion in Edward W. Tullidges The Women of Mormondom, published in 1877, and revised for Hubert Howe Bancrofts proposed series of histories of the western territories; her Nauvoo journal and notebook, which are the earliest, but most recently discovered, of her extant chronicles; and her trail diaries, covering February 1846 to May 1847 and June 1847 to September 1849. Together they provide valuable insights into both mid-nineteenth century Mormon society and Eliza R. Snows life, revealing much about a public woman who tried to guard her privacy.

Book Synopsis Joseph Smith's Polygamy by : Brian C. Hales
Download or read book Joseph Smith's Polygamy written by Brian C. Hales and published by Greg Kofford Books, Incorporated. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last several years a wealth of information has been published on Joseph Smith's practice of polygamy. For some who were already well aware of this aspect of early Mormon history, the availability of new research and discovered documents has been a wellspring of further insight and knowledge into this topic. For others who are learning of Joseph's marriages to other women for the first time, these books and online publications can be both an information overload and a challenge to one's faith. In this short volume, Brian C. Hales (author of the 3-volume Joseph Smith's Polygamy: History and Theology) and Laura H. Hales wade through the murky waters of history to help bring some clarity to this episode of Mormonism's past. As Joseph Smith's participation in plural marriage involved more than just the Prophet and his first wife Emma, this volume also includes short biographical sketches of the 35 other women who were sealed to Joseph but whose stories of faith, struggle, and courage have been largely forgotten and ignored over time. While we may never fully understand the details and reasons surrounding this practice, Brian and Laura Hales provide readers with an accessible, forthright, and faithful look into this challenging topic so that we can at least come toward a better understanding. Praise for Joseph Smith's Polygamy: Toward a Better Understanding "Few matters of LDS history have proven to be as faith-sensitive as Joseph Smith's plural marriages. While a number of efforts have been made in recent years to shed light on this challenging phenomenon, nothing has brought greater clarity, enlightenment, and, particularly for believing Saints, spiritual reassurance, than has the work of researcher Brian Hales. He and his wife Laura have now rendered a monumental service to Mormons and interested observers by bringing clarity and better understanding to this topic. I for one am grateful for the context, perspective, and both straightforward and faithful answers provided for so many of the questions surrounding Nauvoo polygamy. It is a book that will be read and discussed for years to come." - Robert L. Millet, Professor Emeritus of Religious Education, Brigham Young University

Book Synopsis Daughters in My Kingdom by : Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Download or read book Daughters in My Kingdom written by Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This book was released on 2011 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first meeting of the Relief Society, Sister Emma Smith said, “We are going to do something extraordinary.” She was right. The history of Relief Society is filled with examples of ordinary women who have accomplished extraordinary things as they have exercised faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Relief Society was established to help prepare daughters of God for the blessings of eternal life. The purposes of Relief Society are to increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and provide relief by seeking out and helping those in need. Women fulfill these purposes as they seek, receive, and act on personal revelation in their callings and in their personal lives. This book is not a chronological history, nor is it an attempt to provide a comprehensive view of all that the Relief Society has accomplished. Instead, it provides a historical view of the grand scope of the work of the Relief Society. Through historical accounts, personal experiences, scriptures, and words of latter-day prophets and Relief Society leaders, this book teaches about the responsibilities and opportunities Latter-day Saint women are given in Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness.

Book Synopsis The Best of Eliza R. Snow by : Eliza R. Snow
Download or read book The Best of Eliza R. Snow written by Eliza R. Snow and published by . This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eliza R. Snow is without a doubt one of the most monu-mental figures in early LDS history. Her influence and accomplishments are many: she served as the first secretary and second General President of the Relief Society, helped organized the Primary Association, and served as president of the board of directors of the Deseret Hospital Association. Today she is best remembered as a poet, with nearly 500 poems to her credit. This is the second of two volumes highlighting the most significant published poems of Eliza R. Snow, beginning with the exodus from Nauvoo in 1846, and continuing through 1881. Included are the favorite hymns "Behold the Great Redeemer Die" and "How Great the Wisdom and the Love," along with lesser-known poems such as "Bury Me Quietly When I Die," and the controversial "Ultimatum of Human Life," here printed under its original title "Instructions of the Priesthood." The importance of these poems lies not only in their historical significance, but in the opportunity they afford to obtain insights into the life and mind of one of the truly great women in the early Mormon Church.
