Before Zion: An Account of the 7th Handcart Company
Though young in the Church, the Scandinavian Saints of the seventh handcart company left their farms and shops to follow the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. They taught His gospel throughout Denmark, Norway, and Sweden where they were beaten by mobs, jailed, and survived on diets of bread and water; they, like Peter and John, were grateful to be counted worthy to suffer in JesusĘ name. But the trek west would stretch this group of farmers and artisans further still, as they placed their all on the altar of sacrifice in their quest for Zion. The members of the 7th Company were ordinary people who by virtue of their faith in the gospel became remarkable people who accomplished extraordinary things. This is their story. Dr. Allen C. Christensen is the Director of the Benson Agriculture and Food Institute at Brigham Young University. He has also been a professor and administrator at Calpoly Pomona. And he served as mission president in the Philippines, San Fernando mission. Dr. Christensen is a descendent of Mormon pioneers, some of whom were members of the Seventh Handcart Company. And he is a lifelong student of LDS history. Title: Before Zion: An Account of the 7th Handcart Company Retail Price: Your Price: Only $19.95
