Bringing forth a new gospel dispensation is fraught with enormous difficulties, the first of which is to raise up a man, endow him with power, and train and tutor him so that he can complete this overwhelming task. Joseph Smith was this man; and indisputably the greatest man of his time. But not at first. Born to a life of obscurity as the son of a poor farmer, he rose through the guidance and assistance of heaven to become known throughout the world today. Yet many aspects of his life are still shrouded in mystery. In his day, he was both revered and hated by tens of thousands of his contemporaries. What would cause this visceral reaction? Just who was the Prophet Joseph Smith? Get answers to these questions and many others in Brother Joseph: Seer of a New Dispensation.
