Joseph Smith: Teenage Prophet - Paperback

by Richard E. Turley Jr (Author)

Joseph Smith, founding prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was just a teenager when he had his important early visions. To understand him and his visions requires looking at them through the eyes of a vulnerable teen. This book is the first to interpret his early experiences from the standpoint of a fourteen- to seventeen-year-old boy burdened with sin who wanted more than anything to be forgiven. Only when you see young Joseph in this way can you truly comprehend what happened to him. And when you do, he stops being an untouchable man on a pedestal who had experiences beyond what others can realize. Instead, his personal spiritual quest becomes one that everyone can follow successfully-including you.
