"I found this book to be highly informational and inspirational. I hope it will find its way into countless homes..."

This book, featured several years at BYU's education week, tells the stories of some of the great eminent men who appeared to Wilford Woodruff in the St. George temple, requesting that their temple work be completed.

This inspiring book will provide you with

• A wealth of understanding regarding men of character who shaped our world and our freedom.
• A resource to help you strengthen your children's moral foundation.
• A legacy of history to empower you to perform the mission God has for you.
• A guide to learn how God can shape your life, making more out of it than you ever could.

This book will pique the interest of adults and adolescents alike. The nobility of these historical figures, some well known and some not, is clearly evident in these brief biographies, which uplift and edify the reader, reminding us of how heaven has intervened in the history of their times through their contributions. These accounts also remind us that history, "things which have been" (D&C 88:78), is an important subject of study today, just as it was in the Kirtland School of the Prophets where the Lord by revelation designated the curriculum. We believe we are blessed as we connect ourselves through study to these great souls of the past, contemplating their lives, and bringing them to the attention of our children. These men were great because they fulfilled their divine missions. And their contributions are evidence of divine providence in the affairs of an imperfect mankind.

"We recommend this book to readers, young and old, who understand the importance of learning from the past and recognize the benefit of studying the lives of some of the real heroes of history, men who laid foundations of freedom and who nurtured their motivation and values through faith in the Father of us all. This faith was the true source of their achievement."

"Young people of our generation have been deprived of their birthright, which is to be conscious that they are the children of a high destiny in the line of great men who performed great deeds."
