She sensed a dark and lonely chasm between her and the Savior, and she knew she was unprepared for the next life.

The name of the book comes from a passage in the Book of Revelation ( 20:7–9) depicting the apocalypse. Satan influences most of the nations of the Earth to gather for one final battle against "the camp of the saints," before being defeated for eternity: It was right as we were trying to end the book,” Hallstrom said. “She was one of those examples of a character who you feel like just came down from heaven and fell in your lap.” ‘Saints, Vol. 3’ during the COVID-19 pandemic Our most important affair is that of our eternal salvation; upon it depends our happiness or misery for ever. This affair will come to an end in eternity, and will decide whether we shall be saved or lost forever; whether we shall have acquired an eternity of delights, or an eternity of torments; whether we shall live forever happy, or forever miserable.'

In the past, Church members have been acquainted with two multivolume histories of the Church. The first, titled History of the Church , was begun by Joseph Smith in the 1830s and published beginning in 1842. The second, written by Elder B. H. Roberts, assistant Church historian, was published in 1930 and was titled A Comprehensive History of the Church.

With regard to corporal penances, they shall fast on all the vigils of the feasts of the Blessed Virgin; they shall abstain from flesh-meat during Advent and the Novena of the Holy Ghost; but the refection in the evening shall be more abundant than on the fasting days of the Church. On two days of every week on Wednesdays and Fridays all shall take the discipline in common. They shall sleep on straw; woollen pillows and sheets of ordinary linen are, however, allowed. The beds, as a rule, shall be seven palms in length by three and a half in breadth.' In the meantime the divine mercy was at work substituting for these thoughts others suggested by his recent readings. While perusing the life of Our Lord and the saints, he began to reflect, saying to himself: "What if I should do what Saint Francis did?" "What if I should act like Saint Dominic?" He pondered over these things in his mind, and kept continually proposing to himself serious and difficult things. He seemed to feel a certain readiness for doing them, with no other reason except this thought: "Saint Dominic did this; I, too, will do it." "Saint Francis did this; therefore I will do it." These heroic resolutions remained for a time, and then other vain and worldly thoughts followed. This succession of thoughts occupied him for a long while, those about God alternating with those about the world. But in these thoughts there was this difference. When he thought of worldly things it gave him great pleasure, but afterward he found himself dry and sad. But when he thought of journeying to Jerusalem, and of living only on herbs, and practising austerities, he found pleasure not only while thinking of them, but also when he had ceased. This difference he did not notice or value, until one day the eyes of his soul were opened and he began to inquire the reason of the difference.' While many readers are familiar with earlier eras of Church history, Saints, Volume 3 brings to light a little-known period of Latter-day Saint history. It is a time of modernization, beginning with people traveling by horse-drawn carriages and communicating by telegraph and ending in an age of supersonic jets and color television.

Woodworth knows of seminary teachers who are sharing and discussing parts of “Saints” with their classes. What if they were to come? I did not know who "they" were, but it seemed inevitable to me that the numberless disinherited people of the South would, like a tidal wave, set sail one day for this opulent shore, our fortunate country's wide-gaping frontier.

The books include both divine truth and stories of imperfect people trying to become Saints through the Atonement of Christ, he pointed out. “Taken together, the four volumes tell the story of the Lord’s Church striving to fulfill its mandate to perfect the Saints.” St. Cyril was born at Caesarea, and, while yet a child became a Christian, in consequence of which he was maltreated, and finally turned out of doors by his idolatrous father. Information to this effect having been given to the judge, he caused Cyril to be brought before him; and, being told that the child frequently invoked the name of Jesus, he promised him that he would effect a reconciliation with his father, on condition that he would never more pronounce that name. The holy child replied: "I am content to be turned out of my father's house, because I shall receive a more spacious mansion in heaven; nor do I fear death, because by it I shall acquire a better life."'
