The Making Of A Prophet By Lindsay R. Curtis

The Making Of A Prophet By Lindsay R. Curtis 129 pages
 The story of the life of Joseph Smith has been told and re-told many times over since the martyrdom of the Prophet in 1844. Missionaries of the Church alone have testified to millions throughout the world that Joseph Smith is truly a chosen Prophet of God.
 Here is another account of the wonderful story of faith, courage, and inspiration which made up the life of this great man. But this is not just another routine telling of the story. This book, through vivid word descriptions and dramatic new illustrations, re-lives the life of the Prophet through his boyhood, teen-years, and the early years of his significant spiritual accomplishments.
 Elder LeGrand Richards of the Council of the Twelve who has written the foreword to the book writes that Dr. Curtis “…has described this prophet in such a simple and impressive manner that one is led to wonder why all the world cannot accept him as a prophet of God.”
 This volume, with its word pictures and graphic illustrations, will appeal particularly to the youth but will be of interest to all ages in re-affirming the testimony of Joseph Smith the Prophet and the great Church which he founded under the inspiration of God the Father, and Jesus Christ, the Son.
