About This Book

An elder offers personal reminiscences of the founder of the Latter-day movement, recounting firsthand meetings, church gatherings, and the author's experiences witnessing claimed spiritual gifts, visions, healings, and prophetic utterances. The text compiles lectures, includes engravings, and reflects on persecution, imprisonment, and the founder's martyrdom while testifying to the authenticity of the restoration. Episodes describe local branches, conversions, charismatic phenomena such as speaking in tongues, patriarchal blessings, and communal worship, and the author frames these memories as encouragement for readers to investigate the movement.
