The lives of great men have always provided inspiration to succeeding generations. For Latter-day Saints, this is especially true of the prophets of this dispensation. As a shining example of the principles at work, missionary effort, humility, and service in the kingdom, the life of Wilford Woodruff, prophet and fourth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, stands out clearly.

Wilford Woodruff: Wondrous Worker, Prophet of God draws extensively from the voluminous personal journals of President Woodruff and paints a vivid picture of this great man's life and ministry, including his accident-prone childhood, his conversion to the Church, his powerful mission to Great Britain, his family life, his temple work for the founders of the United States, his struggles with the federal government, his role in issuing the Manifesto, his prodigious journal-keeping, and his unceasing love of hard work.

Here is a fascinating look at the Church in the early days of its history, seen through the eyes of one who played a key role in that history. As one of the last prophets to have personally known Joseph Smith, Wilford Woodruff was truly a link between generations. And his fierce commitment to journal keeping has left a history of inestimable value for its firsthand perspective. The author has captured much of that eyewitness appeal in this fine biography. It is a story of courage, dedication, and spiritual greatness that will bring insight and growth to every reader.
