    <![CDATA[One of the earliest Mormon novels, <em>Added Upon</em> is a story that teaches basic principles of Mormon doctrine and answers, through fiction, questions such as &quot;Who am I?&quot; and &quot;Where did I come from?&quot;  From the council in Heaven through earthly life and into the Millennium, we follow a handful of souls through their journey of life, watching as friends in the premortal life forget one another and meet again, only to be torn apart by death and reunited in the resurrection.]]>

    <![CDATA[This classic novel for Latter-day Saints encompasses the broad sweep of eternity, from the premortal life to the celestial glory. In 1981 BYU English Professor Richard H. Cracroft wrote, &quot;Nephi Anderson demonstrated better than any Mormon novelist to date the possibilities for fiction in Mormon experience and doctrine. Despite his gentle tendency to preach through his characters, and despite the occasional hastening of his work to conclusions which have not been adequately prepared for, Anderson's novels reflect consistently Home Literature's aim of promoting 'the good, the pure, the elevating' in Latter-day Saint life and teachings.&quot; (&quot;Seeking 'the Good, the Pure, the Elevating': A Short History of Mormon Fiction,&quot; Ensign, June 1981, 56.)]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book over 15 years ago, for the first and only time, when I was a teen.  I was really touched by this love story and the thought that those we know on earth were also a part of our lives in the pre-mortal existence.  I am so excited to see it in print so that I can read it again.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a book that I first read when I was about twelve.  It follows a few people from the pre-existence through mortality and into the Spirit World, being &quot;added upon&quot; at each stage.  It has been years since I've read it, but it has always been one of my favorite books.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[This classic novel for Latter-day Saints encompasses the broad sweep of eternity, from the premortal life to the celestial glory. In 1981 BYU English Professor Richard H. Cracroft wrote, &quot;Nephi Anderson demonstrated better than any Mormon novelist to date the possibilities for fiction in Mormon experience and doctrine. Despite his gentle tendency to preach through his characters, and despite the occasional hastening of his work to conclusions which have not been adequately prepared for, Anderson's novels reflect consistently Home Literature's aim of promoting 'the good, the pure, the elevating' in Latter-day Saint life and teachings.&quot; (&quot;Seeking 'the Good, the Pure, the Elevating': A Short History of Mormon Fiction,&quot; Ensign, June 1981, 56.)]]>
