Modern Day Martin Luther

This is the best biography of Joseph Fielding Smith ever written. Being written by the Prophet's son, this book has many of those humorous and deep insights that family members know, love, and cherish. I think the most interesting inclusions is the copy of President Smith's second patriarchal blessing. This blessing is a blessing for the world, since it gives us a revelation about the nature of President Smith's mission as an apostle, and later as a prophet.President Joseph Fielding Smith is the reason why I am so religious. Or why I try to be religious, in any case. He has one of the greatest theological minds that I have ever read, and he is like a modern Martin Luther. He has a powerful faith that guided his life and labors.
