Richard Bushman, a renowned historian who has focused much of his research on Joseph Smith and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, explained how Smith exemplified "small and simple things" in the Lord's work.

His wife, Claudia Bushman, also a well-known scholar and college professor, added many examples of how Joseph Smith's mother, Lucy Mack Smith, and wife, Emma Smith, reveal things about his life.
