The Church has launched the website The Discourses of Eliza R. Snow as a place to publish all of the discourses of Eliza R. Snow, a prominent pioneer and women’s leader in the history of the Church. This marks the first time her inspirational sermons have been collected into a single publication.

The discourses have been gathered from Sister Snow’s personal journals and more than a thousand organizational minute books and contemporary newspapers. Fifty sermons are now available and more will be published in batches over the next several years.
