Castle of Zion—Hawaii is a most unusual book, combining autobiography, history, philosophy, stimulating missionary experiences, and, above all, testimony.
Castle H. Murphy, author of Castle of Zion—Hawaii, early learned the value of work. From his earliest youth he, together with his family, had to work hard to make ends meet—and this they did without grumbling or feeling sorry for themselves.
His strange honeymoon, when he was separated after two weeks of marriage from his young bride for eighteen months while both served as missionaries in Hawaii, proves the statement that “Truth is stranger than fiction.” In fact, his betrothed was called on a mission under the name of Mrs. Castle H. Murphy even before she was married.
The book will help build testimony in the hearts of those who need such assistance and will strengthen the testimonies of those who already have them. The book is replete with concrete, pertinent incidents that will prove useful to bishops, stake presidents, as well as officers and teachers throughout the Church, who will find the fabric of testimony strong in these true-to-life experiences of the stalwart of the Church, Castle H. Murphy.
