Even the Prophet's most vehement critics - then and now - can at least agree on one thing: Joseph Smith was murdered in cold blood. This account begins in October 1838; Joseph is thirty-two years old and has less than six years to live. This fast-paced, driving narrative provides a factual account leading to the murder and is sure to capture the attention of Latter-day Saints and those not of the faith. Very unique job of describing the events surrounding the death of Joseph Smith. While most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are aware of the story, this book adds a new prospective. Chapters are short and great for family reading. Many new nuances and thought provoking insights. --Jim S. (Amazon Verified Review) One of the most interesting books I have read on Joseph Smith. Easy to read and understand. Liked that the author put pictures of some of the main players in the book so you could refer to them. Loved it! --Konnie J. (Amazon Verified Review I thought I had read all there was to read about this, but this is the very best book I've ever seen on the subject. I learned so much! Plus the author, Ryan C Jenkins, has a wonderful way with words and imagery! You gotta read it! --Shannah B Godfrey (Amazon Verified Review)
