7.1 A Visionary Nation

Welcome to season 7!  We are starting by reviewing the Prologue and Chapter 1 of Dr. Benjamin Park’s book, “American Zion”.  The first single volume history of the Church in over a decade, and taking advantage of new sources, it’s an excellent way to get some good old Mormon history.  This was fun!
