Download or read book Remarkable Stories from the Lives of Latter Day Saint Women written by Leon R. Hartshorn and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Mormon Women at the Crossroads written by Caroline Kline and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Mormon History Association Best International Book Award The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continues to contend with longstanding tensions surrounding gender and race. Yet women of color in the United States and across the Global South adopt and adapt the faith to their contexts, many sharing the high level of satisfaction expressed by Latter-day Saints in general. Caroline Kline explores the ways Latter-day Saint women of color in Mexico, Botswana, and the United States navigate gender norms, but also how their moral priorities and actions challenge Western feminist assumptions. Kline analyzes these traditional religious women through non-oppressive connectedness, a worldview that blends elements of female empowerment and liberation with a broader focus on fostering positive and productive relationships in different realms. Even as members of a patriarchal institution, the women feel a sense of liberation that empowers them to work against oppression and against alienation from both God and other human beings. Vivid and groundbreaking, Mormon Women at the Crossroads merges interviews with theory to offer a rare discussion of Latter-day Saint women from a global perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Favorite Book of the Year Winner of the Critics’ Choice Book Award, American Educational Studies Association Winner of the Mirra Komarovsky Book Award Winner of the CEP–Mildred García Award for Exemplary Scholarship “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker “The lesson is plain—simply admitting low-income students is just the start of a university’s obligations. Once they’re on campus, colleges must show them that they are full-fledged citizen.” —David Kirp, American Prospect “This book should be studied closely by anyone interested in improving diversity and inclusion in higher education and provides a moving call to action for us all.” —Raj Chetty, Harvard University The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of essays about Mormon women, all written and edited by scholars who are themselves Mormon women, is a brave and important work. Readers will fully appreciate just how brave and important it really is, however, if they can see how this work of historical theology fits into the history of historical writing about Mormon women, as well as how it fits into Mormon history itself. "The women who contributed to this book are among the best of the Mormon literati . . . they] hold that there is hope within the church for change, for reform, for expansion of the place of women." -- Women's Review of Books "Historians of women in America have a great deal to learn from the history of Mormon women. This fine set of essays provides an excellent introduction to a subject about which we should all know more." -- Anne Firor Scott, author of Making the Invisible Woman Visible.

Download or read book Latter Day Saint Women and the Priesthood of God written by Mark Koltko-Rivera and published by . This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of women and the priesthood has been a matter of concern for many Latter-day Saints for years. This book changes the entire discussion. In 2012, the never-before-published Nauvoo Relief Society Minute Book was finally made available online. Investigation of this manuscript reveals what almost amount to "lost teachings" of Joseph Smith, including the following: Joseph Smith "said he was going to make of this [Relief] Society 'a kingdom of priests.'" Joseph spoke of "delivering the keys" to both the leaders of the Church "and" to the leaders of Relief Society. Joseph said "the keys of the kingdom" were about to be given "to sisters" "as well as to the Elders." Joseph then said "I now turn the key "to" you in the name of God." This book thoroughly investigates claims that the LDS priesthood is to be restricted to men-and finds no support for such claims. This is a book for both men and women who want to learn what Joseph taught on this issue-and who want to consider possible futures. "From the Preface: " In this book, I claim that there is no scriptural reason not to extend priesthood ordination to all worthy Latter-day Saint women. Statements by well-intended Church members to the effect that the Lord has restricted priesthood ordination to men are expressions of personal opinion, being supported neither by scripture nor explicit modern revelation. Arguments based on the idea that Jesus only ordained men are naive regarding the way that the Lord seems to work with human cultures and social change. In modern times, it seems that Joseph Smith himself, during the last year and a half of his life, bestowed keys of the kingdom upon Latter-day Saint (LDS) women. Of course, I support all of this from the LDS Standard Works, modern revelation, and the valid historical record. I hope that this information will inform the private discussions that are going on around the Church at this time, regarding this issue. I do not spend much space here considering the many impassioned arguments that people have made for and against the ordination of LDS women. I am interested in the views of One Personage only: The Lord, as expressed in His scriptures and through His prophets, when the latter are speaking as such. When I have looked very closely at these sources, I have found some interesting historical and doctrinal facts of which many of the Saints seem to be unaware today. After a brief introductory chapter about the LDS priesthood, I consider teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith that are only becoming widely known in this generation, on the subject of women and the priesthood (Chapter 1). I consider separately the justifications that have been advanced for restricting LDS ordination to men (Chapter 2), and the objections that have been advanced against conferring the LDS priesthood upon women (Chapter 3). I then explain the real reasons why LDS women do not exercise the priesthood as of the early 2010s (Chapter 4). I describe what it is that might be best for the Saints to do-and not do-to address the issue of LDS women receiving the priesthood (Chapter 5). In Chapter 6, I consider more general objections-for example, objections to my even presuming to address this subject. Finally, I summarize my thoughts and relate some reflections on this issue (Chapter 7). Table of Contents Preface Introduction What Joseph Smith Said About Women and the Priesthood Justifications for Restricting LDS Priesthood to Men Objections to Conferring Priesthood on LDS Women The Real Reasons Why LDS Women Do Not Exercise the Priesthood in the Early 2010s The Future Further Objections Summary and Conclusion References Index "
