[email protected] www.MormonNewsRoundup.org EP 1 - Mormon Movie Reviews - Windows of Heaven (1963) https://youtu.be/cEZ0ajHbfuA Video Summary In 1899 aging Mormon Prophet Lorenzo Snow is deeply troubled by the Church's crippling debt, left over from the anti-polygamy crusades of the 1880s. He feels prompted to travel to St. George, Utah which is experiencing a tremendous drought, and while preaching in the Tabernacle there he receives a revelation to re-emphasize the law of tithing as the solution to the Church's financial troubles. Furthermore, in the video, he promises rain in St. George if they will faithfully pay tithing. A tithing reformation begins and throughout the Utah territory pioneer settlements, and eventually St. George receives rain and the Church climbs out of debt by the late 1960s.
