Brother Joseph: Seer of a New Dispensation, Volume 1
by Richard N. Skousen and W. Cleon Skousen
First of 2-volumes that comprehensively covers the life, revelations and teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith from his birth until his death.
Bringing forth a new gospel dispensation is fraught with enormous difficulties, the first of which is to raise up a man, endow him with power, and train and tutor him so that he can complete this overwhelming task. Joseph Smith was this man; and indisputably the greatest man of his time. But not at first.
Born to a life of obscurity as the son of a poor farmer, he rose through the guidance and assistance of heaven to become known throughout the world today.
This 2-volume set is a powerful biography that reveals many interesting and often-forgotten details about the mortal mission of the Prophet Joseph. By discussing the dynamic life that Joseph lived, the doctrines that he received, and the accounts of those who knew him, these 2 volumes present an all-encompassing, panoramic view of the amazing life of Brother Joseph.
Yet many aspects of his life are still shrouded in mystery. In his day, he was both revered and hated by tens of thousands of his contemporaries. What would cause this visceral reaction? Just who was the Prophet Joseph Smith?
Get answers to these questions and many others in Brother Joseph: Seer of a New Dispensation.
Extensively footnoted and filled with hundreds of illustrations, original artwork and maps, these books teach and testify of the sacred mission of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
