The Windows of Heaven is a 1963 film about Lorenzo Snow, the fifth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The film follows the leader as he tries to resolve the church's mounting debt and the struggles of the Mormon settlers suffering through drought.[1] The title of the movie is a reference to the Old Testament scripture Malachi 3:10:
- Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.[2]
The film was directed and produced by Wetzel Whitaker with the screenplay by Scott Whitaker and Richard Neil Evans. Francis Urry played the role of Lorenzo Snow.
