About Product:
''Doctor," he gasped again, ''please ... take me with you-"
Turning, and looking almost as if he had heard a ghost, Willard Richards stared across the room to where John lay under the bed. ''Brother Taylor," he whispered in disbelief, ''you ... you're alive?' …
"Oh, Brother Taylor," Doctor Richards exclaimed as he backed his way across the upper landing, "is it possible they have killed both Brother Hyrum and Joseph? It surely cannot be, and yet I saw them shoot both of them!"
As the big man wormed himself and his nearly lifeless burden through the narrow door of the criminal cell, John was finding it difficult to breathe. Joseph dead? But ... how could that be? How could the Lord allow His prophet to be slain? And if it were true, then what on earth would the Church ever do without him-
Strengthen your faith with this third book in the inspiring "Stories of the Modern Prophets" series, Courageous Defender of Truth: The Story of John Taylor. Blaine M. Yorgason retells the life story of this English prophet whose fiery temperament and courageous spirit was forged in Carthage jail as witness to the prophet Joseph Smith's martyrdom.
Original, dramatic dialogue masterfully opens each chapter, narrating some of the most faith-building events of John Taylor's life. His keen and searching mind, which led to his conversion to the restored Gospel in America, also helped him become one of the most articulate and loyal defenders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Well-researched historical events flow in sequence following each chapter's opening narrative, adding depth to this testament to President Taylor. Blaine Yorgason's innovative writing style transforms history into an uplifting discovery of the hallmark traits of a "true blue" disciple. Defiant in the face of persecution time and again, John wielded his pen as the sword of Truth.
You and your family will treasure each volume in this series as you assemble the finest collection being written on all of our modern prophets!
