It is printed on better paper and has a deluxe binding that is far superior than the originals. It contains the full collection of Joseph Smith's Nauvoo discourses in the mature and climatic years of his life - many have never been published. They are reproduced in this book in exact fidelity to their original written sources in diaries and journals, including spelling and grammatical deviations. Some Book Reviews:James rated it & it was amazing!Fantastic book. I am so glad that my friend Greg recommended it. By reading these speeches of Joseph Smith you realize what a powerful orator he was and how close he was to God. I gained many new insights into the gospel of Jesus Christ by studying these words, and I learned much about Joseph Smith's character. My testimony of the Savior and of the Lord's chosen prophet Joseph was strengthened. Tyler rated it & really liked it!This is a really good book. There is a lot of crossover between this book and Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith, but this book has some things which are not in that. I particularly appreciated the footnotes which clarified some of the more obscure passages, particularly as they relate to the sealing power and other temple-related subjects. James Miller rated it & liked it!A very interesting book. I somehow acquired a photocopy of it during my stay in Utah. As far as I know, it was originally published by some BYU professors, then the church quickly bought the copyright and never allowed it to be published again. It was just TOO interesting. They cut out all of the controversial stuff, what I like to think of as Joseph's opinions of doctrine, and then reprinted the more traditional teachings as "The Teachings of Joseph Smith".Anyone interested in reading this should have the prerequisites of a temple recommend, and having read the complete standard works, Jesus the Christ, and should have a VERY good knowledge of church history. Jacob J rated it & it was amazing!An indispensable resource providing all the original accounts of the sermons of Joseph Smith in the Nauvoo era. Unlike the classic Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith in which lots of the entries were probably not written by Joseph Smith himself, this book provides only reliable sources and without amalgamation. The only problem is that this book keeps going out of print and the price shoots into the hundreds of dollars for a copy until the next printing. Luckily I got one early. Dustin rated it & it was amazing!A classic. A read must for any student of Joseph Smith. The contemporary primary sources from Joseph's Nauvoo sermons. I had just finished reading Teachings (which contain amalgamated versions of many of these sermons) and I was surprised at how much more I was able to learn by going to the sources. The notes are well done and give incredibly valuable context, a feature very much lacking in Teachings. James Carroll rated it & it was amazing!This is by far the best collection of what Joseph Smith actually taught published so far. If I had to give up all my religious books but the standard works and one other book, this is the one I would choose.Joseph's main focus in Nauvoo was the temple, so if you have ever been curious about the meaning of the Temple, this is also the book for you.
