This illustrated collection brings together a selection of seminal works by Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Included in this anthology are "The Book of Mormon," a sacred text believed by adherents of the faith to be a record of God's dealings with ancient inhabitants of the Americas, which serves as a companion scripture to the Bible.

In addition to these central texts, this collection includes a range of other writings attributed to Joseph Smith, offering readers a comprehensive view of his teachings and insights. Through these writings, readers can explore Smith's perspectives on faith, theology, and the nature of God, as well as his vision for the establishment of a restored Christian church.
