About Product: "We are witnesses to a process of restoration. If you think the Church has been fully restored, you're just seeing the beginning. There is much more to come."
-Russell M. Nelson, news release, Oct. 30, 2018, Concepcion, Chile
One of the most intriguing aspects of our Church's history is that it is still being discovered. Just as early Christians sought out pieces of the cross or searched for the location of Noah's Ark, it is natural for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to seek to interact with their history. The objects in this book constitute a glimpse at the richness of days gone by and allow us to see, heft, and handle those now-priceless objects that our forbearers did.
In this volume, you will find photos and commentary on objects such as
• The Brown Seer Stone
• Liberty Jail's door
• David Patten's rifle
• Joseph Smith's handkerchief
• James E. Talmage's Jesus the Christ manuscript
• Joseph and Hyrum Smith's death masks
• Hyrum Smith's Martyrdom Clothing
• And much more!
50 Relics of the Restoration highlights the history of the Church through sacred objects gathered throughout its history. Included with the objects are some of the most vivid and interesting stories of the Latter-day Saints, which allow those who read them to interact with their beloved forbearers and become a part of their history.
This unique volume of history highlights sacred objects from the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. With pictures of each artifact, Griffiths and Woodger have written the history of the item and brought forth interesting stories of the Latter-day Saints.
