I found that my belief in God and His influence in guiding people through the Holy Spirit was strengthened, as was my love of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, by reading Saints, Volume 3. Like the other books in the series do far, it provides important historical information that illuminates why the Church is the way it is today, but (more importantly) they also provide spiritual nourishment. In particular, I will mention that the section about World War II was, for me, the most dramatic, powerful, and engaging section of the entire series so far.

The volume provides a good balance of “greatest hits” in stories from the era and introduction of lesser-known narratives and voices in an accessible way. An official application of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Using a format where actual quotes from historical documents are placed in the text also allows key quotations from significant sermons and documents to be embedded in the text, something that I have greatly appreciated in both this volume and the previous one.

In the early parts of the book, Susa Gates continues to be a central character, along with her daughter Leah Dunford and son-in-law John Widtsoe. The writing style of the book is very readable, continuing the approach of being written in the style of a novel with focus characters throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this volume. The Kindle is just not meant to be used in that way. But then that is down to the machine rather than the book.
