Emma's Glory and Sacrifice: A Testimony

Homestead Publishers

The great-great-granddaughter of Joseph and Emma Smith, Gracia Jones was taught as a young girl not to discuss her relationship to the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Years later, when as a young woman she joined the LDS Church, she was intrigued by what she heard of her ancestors, particularly Emma, who was somehow viewed as not quite Joseph's equal."
Emma and Joseph: Their Divine Mission is a careful, sensitive history describing the powerful sustaining relationship that Emma and Joseph shared and their tremendous mutual loyalty throughout the seventeen years of their marriage. Author Gracia Jones writes: "There is no doubt that Emma put her whole soul into the effort of helping to lay the foundation of the kingdom of God. Her faith in the truthfulness of [Joseph's] mission caused Emma to turn her back on parents, social position, security and all things a girl holds dear, to share a beggar's life with her prophet husband, whose entire energy was directed toward fulfilling God's commandment to take the message of the Restoration to the whole world."

Lucy Mack Smith has come to stand as a beloved role model in Church history. Not quite as well-known is Emma Hale Smith's legacy. Yet, in the midst of her suffering and persecution, her testimony of her husband's mission and of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon remains. But this is not a book about these women individually. For Emma and Lucy had a close, intertwined relationship. More mother than mother-in-law, more daughter than daughter-in-law, they were also women in Israel. Bound together by the gospel, their mutual admiration and friendship, and their love for and devotion to Joseph, these women became inseparable later in life as Emma lovingly cared for the aged Lucy. Carefully researched by the great-great-granddaughter of Emma and Joseph, this remarkable book offers a deep, thoughtful, and tender look at these two most important women of the early Church. A fascinating and worthy read for every person interested in Church history.
