i think they did a good job making this movie, i enjoyed it. but i must say the books are better

This is a really good movie. It portrays the characters well. I suggest it.

I wish there were more Work and the Glory movies. I have read the whole series of books and have seen the movies. I enjoyed them very much. There inspired me to go to the source and learn more about church history. Although the people are fictional I could see people I know in many of the characters.

This movie just makes the books that much better. It puts things into perspective and helps you understand this time a little better. Great LDS film. I would recommend this for the entire family.

I love the entire series of the Work and the Glory! Watching the movies makes me want to read the books!

I loved it. My favorite part is when Joseph Smith bares his testimony- so moving! I felt like I was really there listening to him in person.

it kept in line with the book well. Great movie

I just read the first two books in 3 days. I went to the Deseret Book store in Mesa, AZ to buy the next few volumes on paperback. They were out of stock at the time so I bought the DVD instead. Actually I bought both ‘The Pillar of Light’ and ‘American Zion'(volume 2 of the book). I can’t express how wonderful the movies were. They brought the books to life. They show how our early sisters and brothers had to struggle such horrible hardships for believing in our Prophet Joseph Smith. Whenever I feel I’m struggling, I think back to the early believers in our faith and realize what I face daily is nothing compared to the hatred, mockery, scorn etc… that they faced daily for our Heavenly Father, for believing that Joseph Smith was his prophet, that Jesus Christ’s church and teachings were restored on earth thorugh Joseph. The books and movies are a must read & see for all. In fact I have the next 4 volumes on order and waiting for shipment.

We have also read the entire series, and although the movie cannot capture everything from the book, it was done very well! This was one of the finest movies we’ve ever seen, and can’t wait for the entire series to be filmed (please….)!

Defenitely one of the best LDS films I have ever seen. Whether you have read the books or not you will love this movie! I am purchasing this one and hope to have a collection of all of the films in the future. Very Well Done!!!
