I learned a lot about John Taylor, the third President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a life-long member of this church I knew snippets from his life, but now know more.

The only thing about this book that gave me pause was the author editorializing throughout the book. That part was faith promoting (for me) but seemed misplaced in a biographical account of President Taylor’s life.

John Taylor es una combinación entre José Smith y Brigham Young.

Hay una cita del libro que dice que "John Taylor fue la clase de persona que sería un líder en cualquier ámbito que se hubiera desempeñado" de verdad lo creo.

I wish it had contained more personal information about President Taylor. It felt more like a church history book than a biography.

Plagiarism of B.H. Roberts

My favorite of the Gibbons biographies so far. Maybe it is because I didn't really know much about John Taylor at all. Very interesting book.

I learned more church and U.S. history and was inspired with John Taylor's stand for what's right.
