Written by someone outside the LDS church, this interesting book portray mormon founder Joseph Smith in his unique, frontier, American role.

This is an uplifting book about the life of a remarkable, Christ-like man. It's given me a lot to think about and a desire to emulate his unceasing efforts to reach and rescue the one.

Okay for an introduction to or a refresher in LDS history. Very much a standard documentary, with period pictures, voice-over "quotes" and narration, and a reasonable facsimile of the landscape at that time.
So far it seems balanced; the professors of history and religion (non-LDS) are skeptical but respectful.
Spokesmen for the Church are President Hinckley, Elder Oaks, and others, plus historians.
