Author:Mabel Harmer
When Joseph Smith was killed at 38, thousands revered him as a prophet. But prophets, like ordinary men, were once boys. How did Joseph develop from boy to prophet to martyr?
In 'The boy Who Became Prophet', Mabel Harmer portrays this process for the enlightenment of young readers. Scenes from Joseph Smith's childhood, his leadership over the developing church, the hazards and sufferings of the persecutions he endured, the danger and excitement of evading his enemies, his unjust arrests and imprisionment- all these are told in fictional form but with a close regard for historical accuracy. Finally the srory takes the Prophet on therought the brief period of glory in Nauvoo and thence to his death by the guns of a mob in Carthage.
A conviction that Joseph Smith was indeed a prophet of God should begin to develop early in the young Latter-day Saint's life. A book such as The Boy Who Became a Prophet can be a significant influence in the building of that conviction.
