Customer Reviews

wonderful

I purchased this for my husband. He loves it! (but I have to admit that I ended up really liking it too.) Truman G. Madsen is easy to listen to and the content is absolutely inspiring. We listen to it while doing our household jobs. It is a treasure in our library.

Life Changing

This book/audio book is, in a word, outstanding. Truman Madsen is the Mormon C.S. Lewis. Please, please, please purchase this set, it literally has the power to change lives. I can't tell express in words how the message in this book has bolstered my faith and motivated me to raise the bar. Couldn't recommend it more ardently.

An abreviated biography on all the LDS prophets

A very interesting read if you want fairly quick capsules of biographies on the presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lattery-Day Saints. The author adds a few personal insights that you wouldn't find anywhere else. The chapters are quick reads. Having read President Hinckley's biography, it made me realize how abbreviated the biographies are. The author does tend to wander off the subject occasionally, but overall does a great job of bringing the prophets to life.
