Karl Anderson is an expert on the Kirtland period of Church history. In this book, Anderson powerfully demonstrates that the Savior personally and visibly directed His Church in Kirtland. Anderson provides key insights into the fact that more first-person words of the Lord have gone to the world from Kirtland than from any other location in our history. He also explores the visions, symbolism, and endowment of the Kirtland Temple.
