Defender of the faith: The B. H. Roberts story by Truman G. Madsen
I decided not to finish this one. I found Roberts story fascinating. His early life was something out of a Dickens tale. His journey across the plains was filled with story after story of the mischief a mostly unsupervised child could get into. Once he was so tired, he snuck into a wagon and climbed into a barrel to get some sleep. Only invalids and the elderly were allowed to ride. But once he got into the barrel, he realized it contained molasses! He figured since he was already covered show more and sticky, he might as well stay put, and went to sleep anyway. Then he had a terrible time getting cleaned up afterwards.

But the writing was not my style at all and I had a hard time staying interested. I think I will skip this one for now. show less

The Highest in Us by Truman G. Madsen
This is a collection of essays or talks given in the 1970s. Some of them are excellent, and some are a little confusing. It felt like the author left out a lot of stuff, hoping the reader/listener would figure out the blanks. That may have been possible in the right context, but so much time has passed since this was published that it's nothing but frustrating now.

Presidents Of The Church: Insights Into Their Lives And Teachings by Truman G. Madsen
I learned a lot about their human side. Smooth sailing - perhaps not unknown, but not a way to describe their lives. I learned even more that in becoming great, there are often problems that try a person. Calling them trials almost seems trivial since we use that word a lot. Still, it is a fearful journey that they went through and overcame.
