About Product:
Joseph Smith's sometimes rustic appearance and magnetic personality, Brigham Young's sense of humor and quick wit, John Taylor's courage in abandoning his own Methodist ministry and embracing the restored gospel, Wilford Woodruff's several narrow escapes from injury and death, and Lorenzo Snow's aristocratic upbringing and early educational pursuits-these are among the hundreds of fascinating pieces of information in Prophets of the Latter Days, a book about the fifteen men who have each been chosen by the Lord and sustained by the Saints as prophets, seers, revelators, and presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter--day Saints.
Utilizing word pictures, drawings, engravings, paintings, early daguerreotypes, stereographs, and modem photographs, along with a written narrative, this is the first fully illustrated book to examine the lives of all of these extraordinary men. The stories of their unique ministries and the accompanying images, many of which have never been published in any form, offer a fresh perspective on the character, the preparation, and the legacy of each Church president.
The essays in this volume are not intended to be comprehensive examinations of the life and ministry of each Church president, but they do provide an interpretation of the unique place of these Church leaders, describing the talents, interests, spiritual strengths, and character traits that suited each so well for the season in which he served. Charts, timelines, and statistical information on events taking place both in the Church and in national and international set--tings also help readers place each of the prophets in his historical perspective.
Featuring full color throughout and more than 200 images, this stunning "photobiography" of the lives of the Church presidents, from Joseph Smith to Gordon B. Hinckley, confirms why we sing with so much conviction, "We thank thee, 0 God, for a prophet."
