Welcome to another episode with Dr. John Turner! Today we are covering Chapter Nine of his new book “Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet." Chapter nine is titled “Flying High” and covers the year 1831 which mostly took place in Kirtland, Ohio for Joseph Smith and the early Saints.

Topics include:

-Comments from listeners on this podcast series

-Why Joseph Smith didn’t preach from the Book of Mormon

-Early criticism of the Book of Mormon

-Demonic possessions and miracles

-The United Order
