A Bishop Who Cared

Bishop Tuttle consecrated my parish church and was a lively and enthusiastic man who loved his fellow man

A remarkable memoir that adds a new perspective to the West

This book, written by the Right Reverend Daniel S. Tuttle gives not only a solid account of his twenty years as the Missionary Bishop of Idaho. Tuttle's work took him to Utah, which is and was predominantly Mormon. In his book Tuttle remembers his work building St. Marks Cathedral, St. Mark's School, St. Mark's Hospital, and his experiences with the Mormons. His writing style is extremely old fashioned, which adds to its relevance. This autobiography adds historical prospective regarding a time and place who's history had been rewritten by those who are in power. If you are looking for an entertaining read, then avoid this book like the plague. If you want to learn about the life of a fascinating man and the world he lived in, then I would strongly recommend it.
