President Heber C. Kimball's Journal / Seventh Book of the Faith-Promoting Series. Designed for the Instruction and Encouragement of Young Latter-day Saints

The journal recounts a leader's missionary labors abroad and subsequent involvement in the early movement's trials, blending travel narrative, preaching successes, baptisms, and accounts of prophetic impressions, healings, and spiritual manifestations. It documents organizing conferences, confrontations with hostile ministers and mobs, property loss and forced removals, visits to imprisoned leaders, ordinations, and efforts to establish new settlements. Interwoven are personal hardships—illness, long voyages, large family responsibilities—and expressions of faith, counsel, and instruction intended to encourage younger adherents. Episodes emphasize perseverance under persecution, community solidarity, and the role of revelation and charity during times of crisis.
