Joseph Fielding Smith

By Daniel Bay Gibbons and Francis M. Gibbons

Book Overview

This book of personal reminiscences about President Joseph Fielding Smith (1876 to 1972), the tenth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, greatly enhances our understanding of the Prophet and the man. President Smith was personally acquainted with fourteen of the sixteen Presidents of the Church and thus represents a sort of welding link for almost 200 years of Church history. Based upon a decade of interviews given by Francis M. Gibbons, President Kimball's trusted scribe and secretary to the First Presidency, this book offers a multitude of unique stories, anecdotes, and insights about the Prophet that are nowhere else available. Joseph Fielding Smith is the first volume in a seven-part work entitled Remembering Seven Prophets. PRAISE FOR FRANCIS M.
