5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful series!

The Work and the Glory is without a doubt, the most wonderful series I have ever read. I laughed and cried. 20 years with the Steed family, 1827-1847. The Stress have become family to me and following the Prophet Joseph Smith from she 21 to his tragic death at age 38. The trek West in the last two books was a very emotional journey. I love The Work and the Glory. God bless Gerald N. Kind and God bless The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!

What a moving and it’s sometimes enlightening story of the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints. How they had to struggle and how they kept being run out of each home that they made. It is sad story in many ways and I don’t think people living in 2023 when I’m reading this book whatever imagine or be able To endure what the people did in the 1800s. I’m quite sure that I never could.

I love Gerald Lund's book series, "The Work and the Glory!" I read all 8 volumes years ago in hard copy, but had borrowed them from the library. I wanted to read them again and purchased them on Kindle. It's amazing to own them and not take up all that space on my book shelf! This is a comprehensive history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, told through the viewpoint of the Steed Family, who are fictional, but living through real events. Many actual figures in church history are included in the narrative and I learned so much about church history by reading these books. Recommended for members of the Church and anyone interested in learning more about "The Mormons."

I have read this series a couple of times and am thrilled each time. It's like I'm part of the people in this series. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints and am thrilled with the love and fire of the covenant of my earlier brothers and sisters in helping to restore the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth again.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite historical fictions ever.....
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2013

First of all, my favorite type of book is historical fiction. As a historical fiction this series is wonderful. The depiction of real life events, the culture and the day to day living experience in different regions of the US during history are extremely well done. In a good historical fiction I am able to feel and think about what it must have felt to live in those time periods and this book accomplishes this goal. So that alone made the series very well worth reading.

In addition to all of these positive attributes, as a new member of the LDS church, the series has been invaluable in understanding all of the trials and tribulations Joseph Smith, the church and its founders went through as the United States was itself experiencing all of the growing pains of a new nation. It has also been extremely helpful to tie important historical and church events that inspired Joseph Smith to pray for the revelation that created the Church's Doctrine and Covenants

I fell right into this book series. The story was so well written that I felt I was right there living it. The emotions were never out of place. I loved the connection of real history and a fictional family. It made it seem so much more personal.
Gerald N. Lund is an exceptional writer and he never disappoints.

I have not finished the series yet. I am about two-thirds of the way through Volume VI. Each volume is more fascinating than the previous one. For members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints it is very inspiring and makes the early history of the Church come alive. One feels he/she knows Joseph Smith and the other early members intimately. For non-members it is an intriguing glimpse of a portion of American history not often taught in school. It follows a fictional family from the early 1800s through -- well, I don't know how far it goes since I'm in Volume VI in the 1840s. But I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys American history and a good read.

The series is excellent for those who want to learn more about the Restoration period of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I only wish the Steed family was a little smaller, the books get quite sprawling by the end of the series.
