"I feel like shouting hallelujah, all the time, when I think that I ever knew Joseph Smith," declared Brigham Young. Millions of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today feel the same way - their hearts are filled with love and admiration for the Prophet of the Restoration.
Historical records provide us with a clear view of Joseph's teachings and leadership in the restored Church. But what of his everyday life and activities? What would it be like to have known Joseph - to be counted among his friends and family?
Liz Lemon Swindle, an award-winning artist, "became intrigued with the view of Joseph Smith we rarely see - the family man." Her collection of artworks representing the life of the Prophet eventually grew to more than fifty paintings and drawings. Liz writes, "It is easy to remember the First Vision, the angel Moroni's visit, and the translation of the Book of Mormon. What we forget is that those events did not occupy every minute of Joseph's life. The Prophet of the Restoration was not too busy to be a family man. Like most devoted fathers, he enjoyed happy hours in his home."
Joseph Smith: Impressions of a Prophet presents an artist's unique vision of the man Joseph, from his early childhood experiences through the last moments of his life. In beautiful paintings and drawings, Liz brings to life both great and simple events in the Prophet's life.
Enriching the lifelike visual images, this historical text by Susan Easton Black opens to us the thoughts and feelings of those who knew him best: hist parents, brothers and sisters, his beloved wife Emma, and those who called him friend and leader.
To open this book is to step inside the home of the Prophet Joseph and share with him the joys and sorrows of his unique and noble life. As a tool for building testimony and faith, and as a rich record of the life of an extraordinary man, Joseph Smith: Impressions of a Prophet deserves a place in every home.
