Stand by My Servant Joseph: The Inspiring Story of the Joseph Knight Family and the Latter-day Saint Restoration - Perfect for LDS History Enthusiasts & Family Home Evening

Stand by my servant Joseph is a well written view of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from the view of real people who recorded their history and their feelings during the good and bad times of the early church. I had a special interest in reading the history of Joseph Knight because of the connection between his family and mine. I found the story of the conversion of John Harris as a part of the Knight Family story. I was aware of this story, but it was interesting to see it printed in the book. There is a misplacement of the dates and place of the baptism based on John Harris' personal journal, but otherwise tells the story well. As I read the book, the story of the Knight family and the history of the treatment of the church members became the focal point. I found the author's writing to be excellent. It definitely maintains interest. I enjoyed the book immensely because of the insight into the effect the elements of the history had on real people. The faithful example shown by the members of this family is an inspiration to all of us. The story of my personal great, great grandfather, while interesting, became secondary to the real story told by the book. I recommend it highly to those who are interested in knowing how the early members reacted to persecutions.
