Spencer W. Kimball (Edward L Kimball and Andrew E Kimball, Bookcraft Inc., 1979, 438 pages)

A pleasure to read and very, very inspiring.  Spencer W. Kimball served as the 12th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from 1973 to 1985. To members of that Church, myself included, Kimball is regarded as a modern day Apostle of Jesus Christ, a prophet of God, and a successor to Joseph Smith, who organized the Church in 1830.  Kimball's life was buffeted by considerable health challenges, but through it all he kept a sense of duty, purpose, and humor.  He gave all that he had for the cause of Christ.
