Description: OUT OF OBSCURITY The LDS Church in the 20th Century!!! By: Assorted LDS Authors and Teachers A Must Have!!! Great Buy!!! A Time for Healing: Official Declaration 2!!! “Remember all thy church, O Lord,… That thy church may come forth out of the wilderness of darkness, and shine forth fair as the moon, clear as the sun” (D&C 109:72 – 73). Such was the fervent prayer of the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1836 at the dedication of that Kirkland Temple. Yet even the most optimistic of the Saints in that day could not have imagined the extent to which the Church could grow in membership and influenced by the end of the next century. That growth and progress “out of obscurity and out of darkness” (D&C 1:30) are the focus of this collection of papers from the 29th annual Sidney B. Sperry Symposium, held that Brigham Young University. Ranging from an examination of the influence of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to a discussion on the effects of Ezra Taft Benson’s service in the Eisenhower administration to the publicity afforded the Church by the sesquicentennial celebration of the 1847 pioneer trek, these essays trace events that have marked the unprecedented growth and expansion of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints in the 170 years of its existence. Some papers highlight doctrine, history, or prophecy; others feature the men and women who have made a difference in the growth of the Church. All of them make apparent the Lord’s hand in guiding missionary and other labors that have establish the Church in even the most obscure places on earth. Written by faithful Latter-day Saints, these essays document the astounding pattern of growth and expanding influence that has gone forward despite-or perhaps because of-persecution of Church members, world and regional wars, economic recessions, and natural catastrophes. There is ample proof of Joseph Smith’s inspired declaration that “no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, the truths of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, tell it has penetrated every continent, visited every climb, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, tell the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done” (History of the Church, 4:540). This book will enlighten any Latter-day Saint who seeks to better understand the amazing growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout the 20th century.
