A thread of complexity is woven throughout the life of Emma Smith. Her love for her husband, the Prophet Joseph Smith, was enduring despite her struggles to understand his participation in polygamy. Her family was the most important thing to her, yet she suffered familial losses over and over again. She gave her all for the gospel of Jesus Christ but chose not to go west with the Saints. Many have asked, “Did Emma fall short?"

When her parents asked Arianna who she was speaking with, she replied, “It’s Emilie. She is here with me.

Here is a survey of some its most interesting findings:

Last October, Jeffress, who supported Rick Perry before dropping out of the race, said Perry was a true follower of Jesus Christ and Mitt Romney's faith was considered a cult.
