Brigham Young was a rough-hewn New York craftsman whose impoverished life was electrified by the Mormon faith. Turner provides a fully realized portrait of this spiritual prophet, viewed by followers as a protector and by opponents as a heretic. His pioneering faith made a deep imprint on tens of thousands of lives in the American Mountain West.

Minstrels, troubadours—the story tellers of old—stirred the hearts of men and moved them to action as they retold the sagas of valor and devotion of ancient heroes. Gathered here are stirring stories, sagas of faith and devotion, associated with the careers of twenty-two heroic figures of our day. From careers like these we gain encouragement and strength which drive away fear and doubt. Frustrations and defeats become the challenges which beckon us to try again in the spirit which is sustained and made ready to enjoy ultimate victory. From these we learn fortitude in the face of adversity and gratitude to Divine Providence for the generous rewards of faithfulness. Though several of the stories included in “Faith of Our Pioneer Fathers” are familiar in other settings, some are available for the first time.

In the 1850s, Jean Rio, a deeply spiritual widow, was moved by the promises of Mormon missionaries and set out from England for Utah. Traveling across the Atlantic by steamer, up the Mississippi by riverboat, and westward by wagon, Rio kept a detailed diary of her extraordinary journey.In Faith and Betrayal, Sally Denton, an award-winning journalist and Rio’s great-great-granddaughter, uses the long-lost diary to re-create Rio’s experience. While she marvels at the great natural beauty of Utah, Rio’s enthusiasm for her new life turns to disillusionment over Mormon polygamy and violence against nonbelievers, as well as the harshness of frontier life. She sets out for California, where she finds a new religion and the freedom she longed for. Unusually intimate and full of vivid detail, this is an absorbing story of a quintessential American pioneer.

Much of what we see expressed in the church today is built on more than just the New Testament. It's built mostly on the Old Testament, Church culture, and Paganism. If we are to succeed in making disciples of all nations then we must go back to the "template" we find in the Bible. Let the reformation begin!

This book tells the story of two remarkable Mormon Pioneers, Francillo and Cynthia Durfey. It is a true story of happiness and sadness, faith and determination, fear and courage; and, above all, a story of love for family and love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Their story is reflective of the life of thousands of brave men and women who are part of the legacy of the Mormon Pioneers. President Gordon B. Hinckley has said, "Their tremendous example can become a compelling motivation for us all, for each of us is a pioneer in his own life."

From tilling the valley's virgin soil to building a widely proclaimed opera house, the Bushnell family started with so little and built so much. In the prequel to this book, A Continent Between Us, James and Elisabeth each traveled west on separate wagons trains, each surviving many perils. They were finally reunited again in Oregon. In this account, they homestead together in the southern Willamette Valley. In their early years, they endured floods, diseases, many deaths, and devasting fires. They built homes, churches, and schools. They were blessed by faith and family. James never gave up and kept envisioning a better life for all those he knew and loved. He and his next wife, Sarah, dreamed and worked until they had a small city to be proud of, including a city water system, stores, banks, hotels, a ballroom, an opera house, churches, many schools, and a university that lasts to this day. The James Bushnells were just one industrious family surrounded by other determined pioneers. Yet, this amazing family provided so much for others, then and now. They led their community in faith, vision, and perseverance in ways that still stand strong more than a century later.
