"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonald

[deborahgaebler]

Oh my goodness ! The best explanation of the lost 116 pages and Joseph Smith I've ever heard

[heatherkoelliker]

This was amazing 🤩, I didn't want it to end. It was so helpful hearing him combine his knowledge of Joseph Smith to explain Words of Mormon. This is my first time hearing Dr. Dirkmaat. I am excited to go back and listen to his previous episodes.

[candicepglade]

I appreciate how happy Dr. Dirkmaat is and how it infuses his study of the Book of Mormon. If the gospel doesn't make us happy, then we are missing something important. Thank you so much for the church history insight.
