About this book

Before earthly life begins, an assembly in heaven hears a plan for human growth through freedom, suffering and experience. Nephi Anderson gives narrative form to religious beliefs about where people come from and what lies beyond their present lives. The opening brings Christ and Lucifer into a dispute over human agency, setting out the ideas that guide the story.

These questions also enter the everyday life of Henrik Bogstad, whose commitment to his faith troubles his sister Selma and their mother. Their conversation moves from family reputation to the possibility of continued learning after death. Added Upon combines a broad account of spiritual existence with the personal strain of religious conviction.
