The Work and the Glory

I have read all 9 books several times. With each reading, I not only pick up on things that I have missed before, but I come to a much better knowlegde of who I am, and the things I stand for. Althought the Steeds are a fictional family, everything that they experience is something that a pioneer family experienced. Gerald N Lund not only tells a fantastic story but he tells an historically correct story. My life is better for having read this series. I would recommend Fire of the Covenant, and his new series on the life of Christ. They will make you cry, laugh, and feel more than you can possibly imagine.

I love this series!

I love this series. I have read the first 4 books so far and my testimony of the Gospel has grown so much. I'm sixteen years old and I recommend this series to anyone and everyone, even if you aren't a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They are wonderful books and everyone should read them.

The Work and the Glory Volumes 1-4

I'm not one that enjoys reading at all! I got the itch to read the Work and the Glory. I only have the first 4 volumes. I COULD NOT put the book down! I read all 4 in one month, which is totally amazing to me! I felt like I was part of the Steed, Smith families, I cried and laughed, I really felt like I was one of them. It really makes you appreciate all they went through for us! Thank You Mr. Lund for opening a whole new world of reading for me.

This is my all time favorite series

Like the other person who has reviewed this book I am thirteen. I say "Yes" to everything they said. It is a great book and so interesting. I have read all of the books in the series (I'm working on the ninth) and love them all. The Steed family is so real. This one is my favorite in the entire series. I usually read all the books in the series once a year. My Mom had me read the first one when I was about 7. I didn't think I would like them but I LOVE them. These books are the best and I have learned a lot both historically and religously. I hope that you won't be put off by the length of them. I get one for Christmas each year. And I was so sad that number nine is most likely the very last one. Thank You, Mr. Lund, for a series that will probably effect my whole life.

The book is too entertaining to put down and stop.

I am only 13 and most people think I am crazy to be reading such a big book. The will ask me how I can read in one book for that long, I will say once you start you can't stop. It is like going into a different world. It is like being a Mormon way back than and going through all the trials they did. I hope Gerald Lund will keep writing these books.
