Since the time of Adam, faithful members of the Lord's Church have been permitted in various dispensations of time to either prolong their existence upon this earth, free from any physical suffering, or to be taken into heavenly realms without immediately tasting death. In a term familiar to most Latter-day Saints, these people are said to have been "translated." In They Who Tarry, the author has brought together in a scholarly and interesting manner a major portion of what has been said in the scriptures and by Church authorities on this important theme. They Who Tarry carefully treats a subject that some regard as controversial, considering it with an objective viewpoint and using appropriate sources to clarify many teachings. With this approach, the book is a valuable addition to doctrinal understanding. Horizon Publishers notes that it has been widely read and has accomplished much good. $10.98
