Report from MHA 2025 June 10 2025

The 60th Annual Conference of the Mormon History Association was held June 5–8, 2025, at the Ogden Eccles Conference Center in Ogden, Utah, and had a theme this year of Junctions and Communities.

Greg Kofford Books sponsored tables at MHA to showcase our many books in the field of Mormon Studies, and our staff had a chance to attend many of the sessions.

Eleven Kofford authors presented during the conference, and several more attended the event (and dropped by our tables to sign books).

Positioned at the corner of two main hallways, the Greg Kofford Books tables attracted quite a bit of attention from conference attendees. We had over six dozen of our titles on display (along with another dozen we couldn’t squeeze onto our tables). The best-selling titles at the conference were:

  1. Fire and Sword: A History of the Latter-day Saints in Northern Missouri, 1836-39

  2. I, Claudia: The Life of Claudia Lauper Bushman in Her Own Words

  3. The Lost 116 Pages: Reconstructing the Book of Mormon's Missing Stories

  4. Every Man a Prophet

  5. Hearken, O Ye People: The Historical Setting of Joseph Smith’s Ohio Revelations

  6. The Revised and Expanded Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith: Compared with the Earliest Known Manuscripts

  7. Come Up Hither to Zion: William Marks and the Mormon Concept of Gathering

  8. Saints, Slaves & Blacks

  9. The Garden of Enid, Part 1

  10. The Garden of Enid, Part 2
