Product Description
Many books have been written about Joseph Smith. This one — the product of Truman Madsen’s deep love for the subject and years of research — illuminates specific facets of Joseph Smith’s greatness. The topics discussed include Joseph Smith’s First Vision; his personality and character (including perspectives on his family life); his spiritual gifts and attributes; his varied trials; his Kirtland Temple experience; doctrinal developments in the Nauvoo era; and the last months and martyrdom. The book is filled with fascinating detail about key events in the Prophet’s life and his impact on people. The result is a vivid, riveting portrayal of this remarkable prophet. Those who knew Joseph Smith best testified that “he lived great, and he died great in the eyes of God and his people.” This wonderful book by a beloved scholar will serve to confirm and strengthen that conviction for Latter-day Saints today.
