Liberty in Harmony

- $27.99
In the remote hills of Harmony, Pennsylvania, Joseph Smith translated most of the Book of Mormon, received priesthood authority, and dictated fifteen revelations. Forrest Hansen weaves Joseph's story together with that of William Penn, whose 'Holy Experiment' established Pennsylvania on religious liberty nearly 150 years earlier. Drawing on court cases, constitutions, and firsthand accounts, this richly documented narrative argues that Pennsylvania's uniquely strong protection of 'Liberty of Conscience' provided the safe haven where Joseph could accomplish his foundational work without arrest or imprisonment.
- The untold story of where most of the Book of Mormon was actually translated—rural Pennsylvania, not New York or Utah
- A surprising legal argument: William Penn's religious liberty laws protected Joseph Smith 150 years before he was born
- Perfect companion for Come Follow Me study of the Doctrine and Covenants and Church History
- Ties directly to the 2015 dedication of the Priesthood Restoration Site by President Nelson
“This rural and remote place was the scene of transcendent translation, revelation, and restoration.”
Perfect for a Latter-day Saint history enthusiast who wants a deeply documented, faith-affirming account of Joseph Smith's Harmony years and the role Pennsylvania's religious liberty played in the Restoration.
