About Product:
Mighty Men of Zion presents nearly 200 inspirational Vignettes portraying the lives of the General Authorities of the last dispensation. In addition, this book gives its readers a panoramic view of the rise and development of Christ's latter-day kingdom as reflected through the experiences of these valiant men charged with the leadership of the Church from its inception in upstate New York to its present worldwide proportions. ln Latter-day Saint homes where acquaintance with men of noble character is important, this volume will find a welcome place.
Scores of faith-promoting incidents make the subjects of these sketches’ models of inspiration for readers of all ages. Though many of these Brethren are not well known to the membership of the Church, their experiences provide a source of strength and enlightenment-for example, Charles C. Rich, through the inspiration of the Lord, saved a company of young missionaries from perishing in Death Valley; Marriner W. Merrill had his life preserved in sub-zero weather by an unseen power; John Morgan beheld a prophetic dream which led to the conversion of hundreds.
Documented references to published sources allow the readers to pursue their interest in the lives of these latter-day leaders. Also included are indexes, charts, graphs, and explanations which clarify the function and development of each quorum and office to which these men were called. Within the covers of this book appears the most complete collection of the General Authorities' photographs assembled anywhere. The readers of this work will find not only a valuable guide and reference, but a source of enjoyment and inspiration as they become acquainted with these “Mighty Men of Zion."
