About Product:
T
Authors Richard Neitzel Holzapfel and R. Q. Shupe write, "While it is difficult to adequately capture any person's life in its fulness and complexity-let alone someone like Brigham Young, whose life is so well documented-little details can open huge windows into Brigham's heart and mind."
My Servant Brigham: Portrait of a Prophet explores those details and brings to life Brigham Young's world and character. Of course, the classic images, quotes, and stories of the prophet are included here, but the heart of the book is the lesser-known word pictures and visual images, photographs, and artifacts-many of which have never been published before and were known only to historians, archivists, and curators.
Divided into two sections, the book focuses first on Brigham Young's world: his public image, leadership style, and personality. Part 2 presents important events and accomplishments of his life in chronological order. As the authors point out, the recollections of non-members, remembrances of Church members, and Brigham's own words add "to the visual images and help give us both a physical and character reference point that makes Brigham real and personal. His comments were often candid, his pronouncements insightful, his spirituality deep, and his humor delightful."
My Servant Brigham: Portrait of a Prophet is an engaging look into the past and an insightful depiction of a man who devoted his life to serving the Lord.
