Added Upon A Story

Added Upon by Nephi Anderson invites listeners into a compassionate, sweeping vision of eternity that explores how choices shape the soul’s destiny. A classic of religious fiction and early Mormon literature, this turn-of-the-century tale traces characters through premortal existence, mortal trials, and the varied fortunes of the world to come, using story to illuminate core questions of identity, purpose, and destiny. Anderson weaves doctrine and narrative into an accessible literary tapestry, presenting the Latter-day Saint “plan of salvation” with gentle didacticism rather than polemic. Themes of faith, repentance, service, and eternal progression emerge as the book reflects contemporary LDS thought around the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offering consolation and a hopeful perspective on life’s struggles without sacrificing emotional depth or imaginative scope. The prose balances allegory and realistic portraiture, making theological ideas feel personal and lived-in. Ideal for listeners who enjoy religious fiction, devotional literature, or historical Christian storytelling, Added Upon is perfect for those curious about Latter-day Saint beliefs, seekers of spiritual comfort, and anyone who appreciates reflective, morally rich narratives. Listen for a tender, thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be held “added upon” in the great scheme of things.
