50 Relics of the Restoration

Two BYU scholars traveled the world to photograph and examine fifty tangible objects tied to Latter-day Saint history. From the brown seer stone and Hyrum Smith's box for the gold plates to Green Flake's pioneer medal, a Meissen vase, and Spencer W. Kimball's microphone, each relic opens a window onto a person, place, or turning point in the faith's story. Balancing distant past with global present, the book celebrates how spirituality and physical experience intertwine in the restored gospel.
