“Joshua,” said Brigham, “three years ago, Joseph wrote to a Mr. John Wentworth, and one of the things he said was this. 'The standard of truth has been erected, and no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing. It will not stop until the purposes of God are accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say to us, the work is done!'”

Now Brigham's voice quivered with excitement; his eyes burned with intensity. “That's what we're offering here, Joshua. Those men with their painted faces stormed Carthage Jail and thought they had stopped the work. Well, what an enormous shock this will be to them! They're driving us from the state, thinking that will end it. But give us ten years. Fifteen years! And then even a blind man will know that no unhallowed hand can stop this work.”

Picking up the story shortly after the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, No Unhallowed Hand — volume 7 in the series The Work and the Glory — takes the saga of the Restoration the the fictional Steed family from the end of June 1844 to February 1846.

As this volume opens, it is a time of great sadness and of uncertainty. Having lost their beloved prophet, the Saints witness a series of power plays by those who would use the opportunity to further their own interests. It is not long, however, before the Lord's purposes are made apparent and the Twelve take their rightful position as leaders of the Church, with Brigham Young at their head. For a time, an uneasy peace seems to prevail in Illinois, but then the Nauvoo Charter is revoked, anti-Mormon hatred is again inflamed by those involved in the Prophet's death, mobs burn homes in small Mormon settlements, and eventually the Saints again find themselves faced with the threat of violent expulsion unless they agree to leave the state. The situation promises to divide the Steeds. Who among them will go west and who will stay? What will Joshua's and Melissa's part-member families do?

This installment in the series contains not only its share of fascinating real-life history, but also a number of plot twists involving the Steeds that will keep readers engaged from beginning to end. The story of their lives underscores the prophetic nature of Joseph Smith's words that, indeed, “no unhallowed hand can stop the work.”

My brothers friends would run in and out of our house, while I just sat there and was glued to this book. Mostly likely there thoughts were we on a Friday night would you be home reading. And was they would run by I would hardly notice there were once there standing feet away from me just moments ago. "Mom, I'm already on page 300." I said one the third day of having the book in my grasp. This was a wonderful book. I got so caught up in it. There were time I would find my eyes misty as the

What a gut wrenching time! For the Church and the Steed family represented in this book! Still, it most certainly does have a silver lining. God was with modern Israel then and still is today, helping each person come to the truth they need, as and when they can handle it.

Book 7 picks up the day after book 6- Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith have been martyred in Carthage. There is a lot of confusion, mostly about what will happen to the Church now that the prophet is dead. The anti's believe that without Joseph Smith, there will be no Mormon church. Brigham Young and the rest of the twelve apostles come back from their missions just in time, as Sidney Rigdon was attempting to convince the Saints that he was to be called as "Guardian of the church" and would "build

Honestly, it's at this point in the series it starts to feel like a never-ending slog to get through. I read this book two days ago and couldn't tell you more than a few major things that happened in it. It's just long. And slow. And I am bored. Also when you start reusing the same names over and over again, it gets annoying. I hope Brother Lund remembered that for other books. Yeesh.

The United States of America is the country founded by seekers of freedom from oppressive governments. But did you know the Mormon Church, born on April 6th, 1830 in New York State, was forced with violence from New York, to Ohio, to Missouri, to Illinois, and ultimately west across the plains and over the Rocky Mountainsbecause of their beliefs? The governor of Missouri actually issued an official declaration that all Mormons were to be driven from the state or exterminated. It has always been

I was at the pool when I finished this book. It was a good thing that I was wearing sunglasses, so people wouldn't see tears forming in my eyes. Book 7 of the series, and it is one of my favorites.

Another fabulous book in the Steed saga though this one had many sad parts. Still it managed to be uplifting. I always feel peaceful when I read these books.
