About every 100 years the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has produced an official, updated multi-volume history of the Church. This just-released 1st volume of the 3rd such history is written in an engaging, narrative style with fascinating new insights. It begins literally with a bang -- the eruption of the Tambora volcano in Indonesia in 1815, that had global climatic impacts, including on farmers in Vermont. It spans 1815 to 1846. It's accessible free at this link both in print and audio, as well as the Gospel Library app (under Church history).
As the foreward from the First Presidency says in part, "Remembering our shared legacy of faith, devotion and perseverance gives us perspective and strength as we face the challenges of our day."
