Recently Apostle George Q. Cannon’s Journal has become available online for the whole world to enjoy. Five thousand pages is a lot to read, so the editor extracted about 10% from the whole, mining out the golden verbatim nuggets. These entries are also enhanced with extensive footnotes and explanations from the journal of his son, Apostle Abraham H. Cannon, as well as other historians.

This book powerfully exhibits how dedicated Cannon was in living the fulness of the Gospel taught by the Prophet Joseph Smith. New insights are unfolded, answering the troubling questions of the 1880s to 1900s, from an insider of the First Presidency and the Twelve.

Description

Expert historians and prophets have helped us to understand how pivotal President George Q. Cannon was in the settling of Utah and powerfully trumpeting the Restored Gospel to all the world. Indeed, his fellow counselor and close friend, Joseph F. Smith, felt that Cannon used his voice and the written word more successfully than any other apostle in this dispensation excepting only the Prophet Joseph Smith himself. George and his apostolic son, Abraham H. Cannon, shed more light on the all important 1880s and 1890s than any other of the general authorities excepting possibly President Wilford Woodruff.

If you want to have a clearer picture and a more precise pattern laid out for you of what we each must emulate and fulfill to become candidates for Celestial glory, this is the volume to invest in! I know of nothing better than to walk in the shoes of this valiant servant of the Lord who fully qualified for exaltation which probably, realistically speaking, but few there be who do likewise.

This book is over 700 pages long, with an index, in an 8.5 x 11 format.
