On April 7, 1844, Joseph Smith gave a sermon in Nauvoo, Illinois, at a general conference of the church. In attendance were nearly 20,000 church members.

A few weeks earlier, on March 9, a church member and close friend of Joseph named King Follett was killed in an accident. This well-known event in Nauvoo led Joseph Smith to comment specifically on Follett’s death and to address what Joseph called “[T]he subject of the dead”. For this reason, Joseph’s sermon has often been referred to as the King Follett sermon or discourse.

The King Follett discourse is recorded along with two other sermons given by Joseph Smith in the Journal of Discourses. Each of the three discourses have been compiled together to form the present work, and additional commentary and insights have been added so the modern listener may better understand the principles taught therein and thus feel an increase in their faith.

This will be enjoyable to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and perhaps serious religious scholars.

For members of the above, the content will be enjoyable and uplifting. It will provide spiritually uplifting content and a beautiful addition to Sunday study.

Beautifully presented - excellent

This is definitely worth listening to for what information it gives. Unfortunately the editing is poor. There were a few “redo’s” that weren’t edited out and a few paragraphs completely repeated. But, overall this is very good. The narrator does a good job.

Discourses are wonderful, editing is not

It’s good to hear these words of a prophet and I enjoyed the commentary.

I can’t think of anything I didn’t like, other than the realization of what I’ve missed out on experiencing prior to listening to these sermons read to me…and now I must read more reflectively on my own. Hearing a voice bring more meaningful depth to his words, his experience; witnessing the beauty and majesty of God lighting the intellect, spirit of all that choose to endure the process.

Joseph the prophet of the restoration

You can tell that the person who’s recording this book I absolutely believes what he is reading with his heart. I love that I can hear it in his voice. Absolutely wonderful recording.

Outstandingly profound and so beautifully simple and easy to understand. The gospel works, and it makes sense too.

The truth is delicious! Craving more!

I would definitely have enjoyed this more without having to listen to all of the apologetic justification from people trying to justify the LDS churches position. Let Joseph Smith speak for himself.

Quoted words of Joseph Smith were great. The apologetic introduction and post script were simply apologetic.
