Remarkable Stories from the Lives of Latter-day Saint Women

by Leon R. Hartshorn

Valiant women have always been a true source of strength throughout the history of the LDS Church. Their testimonies of the restored gospel, combined with acts of faith and devotion, have produced many miracles. While many of those experiences have been lost to history, many others were recorded for future generations to read, ponder, and apply in their own lives. Noted author and scholar Leon R. Hartshorn first published these stories in the early 1970s as a two-volume set. He has recently re-evaluated each story and has carefully selected the most outstanding stories for this volume. In this collection you will read about testimony-strengthening events, small miracles and heavenly assistance, both as the LDS Church was being established and also in recent times. This compilation will create admiration and appreciation by readers for the service and sacrifices given by the faithful women throughout Church history. It is also a wonderful reference tool for Family Home Evening or Church lessons.

If you know these women, if they are part of your family heritage, then reading these stories would be extremely sentimental and inspiring. As it is I found it rather tedious. There were a few stories that engaged me, but on the whole I didn’t t find it very captivating.

What a lovely way to spend Sunday--reading short biographical sketches of amazing women, both prominent and obscure, followed by their own accounts of the extraordinary events in their lives. If you want inspiration and example, this book gives you both. Very readable and positive.

This book has a lot of different women in the church and some of the great things they have done. It isn't one that held my interest enough to just read it I had to do it in between everything.
