In 1831 William joined the LDS Church and went on several missions. In 1832 he was excommunicated for a short time but was rebaptized and, in 1835, was one of the first members of the Twelve Apostles. By this time he had married Emeline Miller they had six children. He and his family settled in Jackson County, Missouri and suffered the persecutions against the Mormons.

Book Description
The easiest scriptures to understand are the ones with stories. Several Church leaders have said that a key to understanding the Doctrine & Covenants is to know its story. This book tells that story. This is an uninterrupted narrative focused specifically on the Doctrine & Covenants. While many books have previously done a good job of telling church history, they are of limited use when it comes to the D&C because they rarely mention even half its sections. And while commentaries often do discuss the historical background of each section, they can only provide that background in chopped up little pieces that are themselves separated from the larger historical setting. The Historical Context of the Doctrine & Covenants solves those shortcomings. For the first time, every single section of the D&C is seamlessly woven into the larger fabric of Church history so that references to people, activities and circumstances make intuitive sense. This book immerses the reader in the historical background so it is not only understood, but also experienced. It quotes extensively from journals, correspondence, histories, speeches and interviews of dozens of early Church members, as well as from contemporary church records and newspapers. This book is well researched and documented. 353 pages of narrative are followed by 62 pages of footnotes (all active in the Kindle edition), 24 pages of bibliography, and (in the paper edition) 40 pages of index. It incorporates new information that only became available in 2010 with the publication of Joseph Smith's first revelation book by the Joseph Smith Papers. Each section of the D&C is briefly summarized as part of the historical background for all the other sections that follow. These summaries point out when a section was written down in pieces, changes who is being addressed, or simply moves from one subject to another. They identify each revelation's principal messages and reflect its train of thought. They discuss the extent to which each section circulated and was known to Church members. And these summaries identify relationships both with other sections and with the historical development of Mormon doctrine. Brigham Young said in a conference only 12 years after Joseph Smith's death that "these revelations, after a lapse of years, become mystified to those who were not personally acquainted with the circumstances at the time they were given" and that "a portion of this congregation have not been personally acquainted with the early experience and travels of this church, and with the sayings and doings of the Prophet Joseph, and it may be that they do not fully understand what this revelation [D&C 58] really does mean." (Journal of Discourses 3:333-34). This book demystifies the Doctrine & Covenants by relating the experience and travels of the Church so readers will understand what each section really does mean. Volume 1 covers D&C 1-70, 74, 107, 133, Moses, and Joseph Smith History.Volume 2 covering the remainder of the Doctrine & Covenants and Abraham will follow.

Book Description
This special edition of the Lectures on Faith from Zion’s Camp Books is formatted for convenience on an eReader, with more than 100 internal links to scriptures and citations. We hope it will give you a great reading experience! The Lectures on Faith were originally prepared as materials for the School of the Prophets in Kirtland, Ohio in 1834 and were included in the Doctrine and Covenants from 1835 to 1921. Although the Lectures on Faith have never been accepted as revelation by the body of the church (and so were removed from the Doctrine and Covenants in 1921), they contain important doctrinal insights that can help anyone seeking to learn more about faith and come closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. President Joseph Fielding Smith noted, “I suppose that the rising generation knows little about the Lectures on Faith. . . . In my own judgment, these Lectures are of great value and should be studied. . . . I consider them to be of extreme value in the study of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” (Joseph Fielding Smith, Seek Ye Earnestly. Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1970.) Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles has stated the lectures contain “some of the best lesson material ever prepared on the Godhead; on the character, perfections, and attributes of God; on faith, miracles, and sacrifice. They can be studied with great profit by all gospel scholars.” (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine. Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1966.)
