Biography & Family Record of Lorenzo Snow

Rating:
Summary: Best Biography of Pres. Snow.
Review: This book is a melding of the minds, hearts, and lives of two of the most influential members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Lorenzo Snow was the fifth president of the Church of Jesus Christ, and was a spiritual titan. He had great testimony of God, and a keen insight into humanities eternal potential. But I think that his most endearing quality is his face. He ahs a holy face that has been worn and wrinkles as he wore out and wrinkled his life in the service of God.

His biographer was his sister Eliza Snow, who deserves-and has-several biographies of her own. She was poet by temperament and talent, so the prose flows. Moreover, she has great sisterly insight into the work and osul of the man who was a prophet and also her brother.

This classic volume covers Lorenzo Snows exciting life, from his first contact with Joseph smith in Kirtland, OH, his journey with the saints across the plains, and to his missionary labors in England and Italy. There is considerable attention paid to Snow's work with the United Order in Brigham City.

I have no complaints, and only praise for this book. The cover suggests the majesty of its contents, and I am glad that I bought and read this book. It is a mind-edifier and a heart warmer.
