Trevan Hatch retells the story of the Restoration by placing Joseph Smith's First Vision and prophetic experiences within a broader culture of spiritual manifestations. Drawing on hundreds of firsthand accounts—from non-Mormon visionaries of the Great Awakenings to early Saints—the book documents visions, angelic visitations, seer stones, gold plates, and miraculous healings. Written for the average Latter-day Saint reader, it blends scholarly research with faith-promoting testimony to show that the heavens were opened to prepare the world for the restored gospel.

  • Joseph Smith wasn't the only one—hundreds of his contemporaries recorded visions of God and Christ
  • Discover overlooked and little-known firsthand accounts of the Restoration
  • A testimony-building book you don't just read, you experience (per Stephen M. R. Covey)
  • Explores seer stones and the Urim and Thummim with ancient Jewish and biblical parallels

Perfect for a faithful Latter-day Saint adult interested in Church history, apologetics, and the historical context of the Restoration who wants firsthand accounts to strengthen their testimony.
