Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford Woodruff

9/10

I like this one. I taught a few lessons from this one when I was called as an Elder's Quorum Instructor while I was home for the summer from University.  Two of the lessons I taught was the missionary work chapter and the journal keeping chapter. Those were fun chapters because he is known as being one of the best missionaries ever as well as one of the most thorough journal keepers ever. I like this book based on his thorough record keeping. There are so many detailed and interesting stories taken from his journals. Glad he wrote all that he did because our knowledge of many of the early events of the church come from him.

One quote from the missionary chapter which shows why he was such a great "converter of souls":

"[N]ever attempt to tear down a man's house, so to speak, before you build him a better one"
