Latter-day Saints the world over were thrilled to watch revolutions unfold before
their eyes on television in the fall of 1989. But long before the Iron Curtain disintegrated,
the Lord's modern-day prophets and apostles prophesied that the gospel of Jesus Christ
would be preached throughout the world, even in Communist-dominated lands.
The recent miraculous
developments in eastern Europe are a significant part of this book, but Bruce Van Orden,
once a missionary in Germany, relates the entire history of the Church in Europe from the
apostolic missions to the British Isles in the late 1830s to the current status of the Church
throughout Europe. The author shares his personal experiences and those of others who have
witnessed the warmth and unity among European Saints.
Over a million Latter-day Saints in
the United States and other parts of the world can attribute their membership in the Church
today to contacts made by missionaries in Europe. This volume chronicles that missionary
work and the work that continues today.
