The Teachings of President Brigham Young Vol. 3, 1852–1854 - Author: Fred C. Collier (The Teachings of President Brigham Young, Volume 3)

By: Fred C. Collier

Author: Fred C. Collier - An exquisite collection of previously unpublished or unavailable discourses from President Brigham Young. The compilers of the 1997 Priesthood lesson manuel for "The Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young" stated that this book was relied upon and used on a daily basis during the preparation of the manuel. These speeches are not found in the Journal of Discourses. Most of them were reported by George D. Watt, who was a master of Pittman shorthand. This ability enabled Watt to record these speeches precisely as they were given-they are complete and verbatim. For the first time, the whole man Brigham Young will be presented to the world as has never before been possible. Hear Brigham Young at the height of his career-secure in the mountain fastness of Deseret-where he could openly speak his mind to the saints completely untrammeled by sectarian and governmental influence. Through his own sayings he is presented in all the colors of the spectrum-as he expressed himself in his own words-in moments of candor when at ease-in moments of frustration with the Saints-in serene moments when under the influence of the peaceable joy of the spirit-at times of anger when he intimidates the wicked-as well as in moments of humor when he makes jokes with the boys. In this volume both the man and the Prophet-the President and the Governor will be portrayed in all the color if his personality. For every student of Mormon theology this work is a must! The detailed cross-reference system and comprehensive index gives the reader an entire new realm to explore theology as expressed by President Young. Time and time again President Young declares to the saints the Mysteries and Doctrine of the Kingdom of God-all of which serves well to illuminate him as "a profound theologian" and Prophet of God. For LDS scholars, teachers and students alike This is a virtual treasure-a book that will highlight any bookshelf.
