Ilustration To Books A Season of Joy (The Work and the Glory #5)

The popular, award-winning series The Work and the Glory continues with A Season of Joy, which literally spans the globe as it follows the story of the restored Church and the fictional Steed family through two eventful years (1839-1841). It is a season of rejuvenationas, after the horrors of the Missouri persecutions, the Saints find refuge across the Mississippi in Illinois, where they found the city of Nauvoo. Their community grows rapidly, miracles occur (including Joseph's raising of many from their sickbeds), the work of the Restoration rolls forward — and the Steeds are there for it all. Matthew and Derek accompany members of the Twelve on the Quorum's mission to England, and there they witness a dramatic harvest of souls, including Wilford Woodruff's remarkable success. Meanwhile, the fate of Will Steed is made known, and characters from previous volumes reenter the story. In addition, since this period in Church history is not without its tensions, its trials, and its tragedies, members of the Steed family experience all of these as well. Through some of the most realistic and tender scenes of the series, readers will come to know these beloved characters even more intimately than ever before. As with the previous volumes, personalities from Church history come to vivid life here, particularly those of the incomparable Joseph Smith and the faithful, steadfast Brigham Young. Here, then, is another exciting, engaging installment in this acclaimed series, a story that reveals God's infinite mercy and wisdom in granting his people a season of relief, a season of hope, a season of joy.

Crit Regarding Books A Season of Joy (The Work and the Glory #5)

really enjoying the series

This is my favorite volume of the series. I adore this series because the characters are deep and the historical events so powerful.

I was somewhat resistant to the idea of reading these books - I didn't take the time to really see what they were all about, I just assumed that since they seemed so 'trendy' at the time, they would probably be 'light' reading or even 'corny.' I was SO wrong... and I'm SO glad that I realized that if my mom was enjoying them so much and recommending them to me, they must be worthwhile.This series, along with the Kent Family Chronicles (by John Jakes, about the United States), made me fall in

A dramatic representation of the historic events. The characters develop across the volumes.

I have been getting some great books from the library, so this one sat on the shelf for a while. I forget how much I really like these books.Book 5 starts in early 1839 and ends in July of 1841.At this time, Joseph Smith and his companions are being shuffled across Missouri while "the bad guys" are trying to find enough evidence to convict them of anything. They escape in April. The Saints are located in Quincy, Illinois, and early in the novel they begin their move to Nauvoo. Probably the most

I am now past the halfway point of reading the Work and the Glory series! This book takes the Steed family from Quincy, Illinois to Nauvoo. We also get to see some of the missionary work in England, the development of brick houses in Nauvoo, and the foundation of the Nauvoo Temple.The books is called "A Season of Joy" because it takes place largely during the restful period of Nauvoo. While there were many times when church leaders still had to go into hiding, it was a time of great peace

I hate cheesy things, and I have to admit these books have parts that are cheesy, but what makes it TOTALLY worth it is the beautiful narrative of church history. It brings a lot of emotion into the history. You would have to read 10 boring church history books to learn what you learn by reading just one of these novels. I was openly weeping during the part of this book that talked about how many people died from the malaria outbreak when Nauvoo was first being built (RIGHT after they had been
