The Work and the Glory II: American Zion (DVD) Vineyard Distribution andDeseret Book (PG13)
In November of 1833, the state of Missouri turned a blind eye as hundreds of its peaceful inhabitants
were hunted down and driven from their homes in the dead of night. Against this impending strife, a
young man with a divine vision leads a people against the aggression of an anti-hero with a vulnerable
past.
The Work and The Glory: American Zion" sets the story of the fictional Steed family against the
historically factual backdrop of the Mormon people's move into the West. Divided by their diverse
reactions to a nascent ideology, the Steeds struggle to hold together as the strength of their convictions
and their filial bonds are tested. The stirring narrative of the faith that led a persecuted people to
Missouri and beyond is one of the most poignant untold tales of American history. It is the account of
a valiant struggle to exercise the rights promised by a fledgling nation. "The Work and the Glory:
American Zion" unearths the story of the passion behind the movement which eventually launched the
largest American migration and the colonization of the West: the vision of a promised land in
America.

The Touch and Other LDS Classics (DVD) Covenant Communications
Five LDS classic videos on one DVD. One day, as Jesus was moving through a crowd of people, He
suddenly turned and asked, "Who touched me?" The question confused His disciples. Anyone in the
throng could have accidently bumped against Him. Then Jesus said, "Somebody hath touched me: for
I perceive that virtue [power] is gone out of me." The touch was an act of faith. A woman with an
issue of blood had touched His garment, believing that by doing so she would be healed. And she was.
When Jesus saw her, He said, "Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole." This
moving account is beautifully captured in the BYU production The Touch. Other titles in this
collection of classics, available now on DVD, include The Good Samaritan, Akedah (The Binding),
Elijah and the Widow of Zaraphath, and a bonus video, The Sisters of Bethany.

of God to man, the necessity for free will, the nature of man, life's opportunities for joy, the lessons of
pain, and the Godhood of Jesus Christ. This presentation also includes brief biographical sketches of
