excellent works: A Voice of Warning and Key to the Science of
Theology. Key to the Science of Theology is Parley P. Pratt's
all-embracing account of religion's impact on everything in day to
day life. The author discusses religion, science, and the meaning
of life in a passionate and concise way. A Voice of Warning is an
instructing guide to the prophesies and the religious system of
Mormonism which, at the time of publication, was rapidly gaining
followers throughout North America. Yet foremost, it is a warning
to honest Christians; by failing to heed the Biblical prophesies,
believers will be unprepared to face the truths explained within
the Bible, contained within the authoritative messages of the Holy
Ghost. Parley P. Pratt was an early figure in the Church of the
Latter Day Saints, whose Mormon doctrines became guiding principles
for members of the church.
Parley P. Pratt's memoirs impress with their vivid and eventful
accounts of the author's life. Foremost however is the author's
supreme devotion to the Mormon church and the Lord God. Pratt
begins by reminiscing on his youth. The early 19th century was an
exciting but dangerous time to be alive; the United States was a
fledgling nation, and its westward expansion was fraught with a
variety of dangers and hardships. Some trusted only in what they
believed they knew, but Pratt placed his trust in Jesus Christ's
principles from an early age and was in youth part of the Baptist
movement. However, he felt he could go further in God's name, and
this led him to Joseph Smith and the Mormon church. As one of the
earliest members of the Latter Day Saints, Pratt enjoyed a good
degree of influence at the forefront of the church's activity. He
was present as the denomination grew from its roots as a small,
regional group of frontier settlers to a national and international
creed with its base in Utah.

Parley P. Pratt, born April 12, 1807, was one of the important
early leaders of the LDS church. His influence is felt not only
through his work as one of the first apostles called in this
dispensation, but also through his missionary work, writing, poems,
and hymns. After being baptized around September 1, 1830 by Oliver
Cowdery, he was soon called on a mission by the prophet Joseph
Smith. This was the first of many such missions that Pratt served.
He was a member of Zion's Camp and served as a missionary in
Canada, the southern United States, and the United Kingdom. This
book gives his history in his own words. The testimonies Pratt
shares of the Gospel, particularly of the Book of Mormon, are
inspiring. We hope this book and the amazing experiences of Parley
P. Pratt's life will serve to strengthen the testimonies of all who
read it.
