In an ancient American civilization there was born a man forordained to influence the live of millions of people both in his day and our -- his name, Mormon, his calling, prophet of God. This book examines the life and teaching of Mormon, whose profound statement "...being somewhat of a sober mind, therefore I was visited of the Lord, and tasted and knew of the goodness of Jesus." exemplifies his knowledge of and dedication to the Lord. In addition, this prophet loved his countrymen, so much so that he bacame their military leader while pleading with them not to make war, and he continued to lead them even after he had seen in a vision their final destruction.
