Summary:
In book three of the Standing on the Promises trilogy, the black Saints come full circle as Aidan Gray looks down Parley Street in Nauvoo, where Elijah Abel and Jane Manning James walked more than 160 years earlier. Here we meet Ab Howell, Monroe Fleming, Ruffin Bridgeforth, and more African-American Latter-day Saints who laid a lasting foundation of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His gospel. This astonishing story of loyalty in the face of trials, steadfast courage in times of humiliation, and obedience in an era of deprivation will fill your heart with compassion and new understanding.
