The result is a collection of many never-before-seen photographs that create a riveting and entirely human portrait of the Church through the lives of its faithfU. Along with Mission photographers you will:
• Travel down the Amazon river with a group of Brazilian Mormons bound for their temple in Sao Paulo
• Attend a moving baptism in a frigid and remote Alaskan lake
• Participate in a precarious humanitarian journey to bring relief supplies and love to embattled citizens in Croatia
• Go deep inside a mountain vault carved from solid granite outside Salt Lake City where the Church stores vast genealogical data
• Join a large group of LDS young people re-creating the historic trek of Mormon pioneers
With illuminating essays by the president of the Church, Gordon B. Hinckley, and award-winning journalist Roger Rosenblatt, this handsomely designed book is destined to become a collector's item and an important addition to the literature on world religions. Vissza
