This review is from: Discourses of Brigham Young: Second President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Hardcover)
This book is one of the main sources for the Teachings of Presidents of the Church series that covered Brigham. Unlike for other prophets, the book covering him was meant to last two full calendar years. Now it's easy to see why. Even this book is simply a compilation of quotations, but it is filled with doctrinal gems. Brigham is a powerful witness for the Resurrection of Christ, and for the ability of Christ to change men's hearts. Particularly of interest (to me) was him discussing his conversion, which took close to three years of steady investigation. Here is a guy not afraid to ask questions. But where he goes for answers makes him an example.
