My Review:

Gerald Lund is PURE MAGIC in this series and it was such a delight to be able to do a reread of this marvelous book and then watch the film adaptation ---which is brilliant and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Pillar of Light is a story that focuses on the beginnings of when the Steed family meets Joseph Smith Jr and also when we see the early beginnings of the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If you want to know the history of this faith, I highly recommend this series and you will get some beautiful family connections and a wonderful romances that build along the way that involve the Steed family.

I absolutely adored the love triangle in this one and seeing the true romance between Nathan and Lydia form. Out of all the couples we see in this series, they are definitely a favorite! They have such a pure love. And Gerald Lund captures it so beautifully! ( )

Great family story that goes along with the early LDS Church in New York, Ohio and Missouri. I've read two more of the series. ( )

Highly addictive fictional account of the life of Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I couldn't stop until I'd read every volume in the series. ( )

Story of a family which becomes involved in the founding and early days of the LDS Church.
Read the whole series (owned by others in family), but only have recorded this volume. ( )

I really liked the way the history was incorporated into an enjoyable story.
