Fire of the Covenant: The Story of the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies

Share in the pathos and spiritual power of the handcart experience

The author of the acclaimed historical fiction series The Work and the Glory brings another dramatic chapter in Church history to life in Fire of the Covenant, a novel about the 1856 Willie and Martin Handcart Companies. Elder Lund weaves his fictional characters into the tapestry of actual historical events helping us feel a part of the companies who set out for Zion late in the season during the first year of the great handcart migration. Trapped by early winter snows in Wyoming, these Saints driven by the "fire of the covenant" they had made with God rose to heights of unsurpassed courage and endurance. Their story will thrill you to the core.
