For the first time in many years, all of the biographies written about Church Presidents by Francis M. Gibbons from Joseph Smith through Ezra Taft Benson are in print and available in an economical paperback format. Elder Gibbons, who has personally known several Church Presidents, was a secretary to the First Presidency for sixteen years and also served in both the First and Second Quorums of the Seventy.
I enjoyed this book and love reading about the lives of remarkable people; especially people who overcome adversity to do amazing things, or just live noteworthy lives, or people who have a tremendous affect of the lives of others. I'm always amazed at how difficult some aspects of lives were a hundred years ago, yet they carried on.
