Joseph Smith: His Amazing Life, Mission, and Legacy

As we approach the 200th anniversary of the publication of the Book of Mormon and the restoration of the gospel, it seems appropriate to relate the continuing story of Joseph Smith, and his amazing life, mission and legacy. This book begins with his childhood, and then summarizes his life and his achievements up to the martyrdom. It then goes into some detail about Joseph and Emma’s family and their descendants, including the one third that live in Australia.

This book also deals with the persecutions and falsehoods that Joseph and his family endured, as well as various topics that have been questioned or misunderstood by some people. I refer to the translation of the Book of Mormon, plural marriage, blacks and the priesthood, and Joseph’s attempt to become the president of the United States of America. This is truly a refreshing and exciting read.

Absolutely love it

★★★★★
Dear John, I finished your book about Joseph Smith a few weeks ago and feel bad I haven’t gotten back to you until now. I’m sure I’m just one of many, many others who have read your book and absolutely love it. You’ve done such a marvellous job telling the whole story about Joseph Smith and his posterity right up to the present. I congratulate you on putting all your research together in such an easy-to-read chronological order. I’m so glad you were able to contact June Wright and also Michael Kennedy to get more information on the Smith Family. Their history is so very interesting and yet so very sad. I’ve read all four of your books now and am so happy to have them in my library to refer to now and again. I have loaned them to some of my close friends and they love them too. Congratulations to you and Vicki on all your books. Keep up the good work!! May the Lord continue to bless you and yours. Warmest regards,

A real treasure

★★★★★
This is an absolutely wonderful book. Written in an easy to follow style that keeps you captivated and intrigued. I loved the behind the scenes stories of Joseph’s family and those close to him. It was fascinating to read about the living descendants of Joseph and Emma and their journeys to finding the truth. This is a must addition to your gospel library. It truly stands alone and also contains a wealth of little known history of the early saints in Australia. A real treasure Thank you John for this labour of love.

Beautiful inspiring and informative

★★★★★
Dear John, I recently finished reading your third book about Joseph Smith, which Debbie and I got for Christmas. It was beautiful inspiring and informative. Although I had read about the Saints’ suffering and trials previously, I welled up as I read about them in your book. I was fascinated to learn more about Joseph and Emma’s descendants and gain new insights and perspective on US politics as it pertained to Joseph’s prophecies and the Church. Reading your book has enriched my love for the prophet Joseph and his family. Thank you.
