A Mine of Incalculable Historical Richness

Since Gilbert W. Sharffs' long out of print "Mormonism in Germany: A History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in German Between 1840 and 1970" there has been no significant work on the history of the Church in Germany. Now comes not just a work about the Church in Germany, but the original reminiscences of the Saints themselves, in all their original beauty, richness, and idiosyncratic charm. As a former missionary to Germany I applaud President and Sister Davis for their great work of love in assembling these priceless narratives. May they provide a rich assay for future historians on a vital chapter of the history of the Church in Germany.
