Mormon historian mines a 'third way' to unearth the past

Mormon historian Richard Bushman has pioneered an approach to history based on “generosity,” and it's not just for his own faith's complicated — and often controversial — past.

How YOU can be a Church-service missionary

The number of full-time missionaries serving around the world has soared since President Monson announced that members can begin missions at a younger age. The response of faithful youth and couple missionaries accepting missions is clear evidence that the Lord is encouraging members to serve and share the gospel. If a full-time proselyting mission isn’t an option for you right now, did you know that you can serve a part-time Church-service mission?

36: Broken Hearts to Mend

When Dorothy came home from school to find the Relief Society in her living room instead of her faithful but imperfect mom, Rene, she was ill-prepared for how drastically her life would soon change. But despite the heartbreak of circumstances beyond her control, and with the help and support of her youth leaders Kurt and Naomi, Dorothy found the strength to believe in the healing power of the Atonement for every broken heart, including her own.

39: “To Have the Heavens Opened” (Doctrine and Covenants 106–108)

Let’s play a game of guess who. Are you ready? This person was “a man of faith, who wrought righteousness; and when a child he feared God, and stopped the mouths of lions, and quenched the violence of fire.” Do you have any guesses so far?

So why would Mormon choose to include these stories about battles and intrigue in the Book of Mormon?

Doctrine and Covenants and Church History Lesson 34: "Faith in Every Footstep"

By Ted L. Gibbons

Six houses that belonged to my ancestors still stand in Nauvoo; nice brick and frame homes, with lawns and gardens and trees and carriage houses. I can hardly imagine the stretching and commitment necessary for their owners to gather up a wagon load of non-perishable goods, sweep the floor a final time, and follow the prophet of God across the Mississippi and into the setting sun.
