What people are saying about the book:

---

“I first learned about “Affirmation” and the incredible artifacts it highlights while attending a church class with Joseph Smith Skeen. Since then, I’ve eagerly awaited its release — and it did not disappoint! The beautifully detailed photographs and captivating historical accounts bring the story of Joseph Smith and the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to life. Affirmation is both inspiring and visually stunning — a true treasure and an absolute must-have for anyone’s personal library!”

“Having photographed Church historic sites for more than forty years, I was moved when President Gordon B. Hinckley said that the stories and events of the Restoration should “never be forgotten.” President Hinckley personally did much to ensure that our understanding and recollection of those stories continue. Joseph Smith Skeen’s book Affirmation is a marvelous and multifaceted tool to keep the memories alive and moving along with the Saints. He utilizes sites, stories, structures, relics and artifacts. Moreover, he is able to incorporate personal knowledge, insights, and testimonies of both family members and others. I encourage any and all to utilize this unique book to help ensure that the unfolding of the Restoration is never forgotten.”

“I absolutely love this book! While I haven’t sat down and read it cover to cover, I have it where I see it everyday. I’ll pick it up, open it to a random page and read from it for a few minutes and enjoy the photographs. I will also look at it in relation to where my studying is in “Come Follow Me” at the time. It really helps me to be able to visualize what’s going on and brings the words to life. I even took it as a visual aide when I taught my Deacon’s Quorum class last week. They loved it as well. It was so helpful in making it real to them and  bringing back the time period. I’m very impressed with the quality, detail and the work that went in to the creation of this masterpiece. Thank you so much for sharing this treasure with me and my family!”
