"Drawing on a rich literary heritage, Signature Books is pleased to make available a new series of classic Mormon works reprinted with specially-commissioned introductions. Each book has left an indelible impression on the LDS church and its members, as well as influenced non-Mormon perceptions of the Saints. The authors, whether believers or skeptics, occupy an important place in the development of LDS culture and identity. The reissue of their works offers readers today an opportunity to better appreciate the origins and growth of a major religious and social movement."
