| This is the sixth book of the Faith-Promoting Series. Like many of the other books in the series, this book presents a series of vignettes from early Church history about missionary work, investigating and embracing the Gospel, and miracles that have happened in the everyday lives of members of the Church. It was prepared by George Q. Cannon, a member of the First Presidency and the founder of Deseret Book, for the inspiration and enrichment of young people. Today it stands as a wonderful, faith-enriching testament of the involvement of Heavenly Father in the everyday lives of those who follow Him. There are two sections of special interest. Lorenzo Dow Young, a brother of Brigham Young, writes about the experiences he had that let him to investigate and join the Church, including special visions and dreams that came to him. William W. Cluff and Benjamin F. Johnson’s missions to Hawaii also receive special mention. They describe the missionary work they were involved in while serving the Hawaiian people, the trials and challenges they faced, and the miraculous help they recieved from the Lord. The amazing healing of Lorenzo Snow is central to their memoirs. Like other books in this series, the writing style is clear and engaging, meant to be easily understood, and the stories are captivating.
