Thanks for looking!About the Book:Of personal interest to Latter-day Saints is Nauvoo, City of the Saints, and beacon to early-day converts in the Church. The focal point of Nauvoo itself was the temple, center of activity for the Latter-day Saints.In The Nauvoo Temple E. Cecil McGavin has gathered information from friend and foe alike to produce a volume that is rich in background for the learning of these early days of Latter-day Saint history. Little-known facts have been assembled to present a convincing record of the second temple of the Latter-day Saints.Even the exodus of the Saints from their beautiful city and the destruction of the temple which they had built at such cost and effort did not halt their work. The author indicates: “The destruction of the Nauvoo Temple was a serious tragedy, yet the building was worth every cent it cost to build. . . . The spirit of temple work did not perish in the flames that devoured the woodwork of the temple. From the ruins of the sacred building the spirit of Elijah found a welcome sanctuary in the hearts and homes of the Saints all over the world.”The Nauvoo Temple is a good book to have available to read during this later day when Latter-day Saints the world over are thrilling to the knowledge that there is a plan moving ahead to restore Nauvoo the Beautiful.Copyright © 2018-2021 TDM Inc.
