Summary

"The Life of John Taylor" by B. H. Roberts is a biography that recounts the life of John Taylor, the third president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and his impact on the church's early years. The story begins by looking at Taylor's family background and early life, highlighting the characteristics that helped him later become a church leader. As the story goes on, it reveals that Taylor's life is closely related to the church's history; it describes his ordination, his work as a minister, the difficulties he faced alongside other Mormons as they were persecuted, and his strong dedication to his beliefs.

About the Author

Brigham Henry Roberts was a historian, politician, and leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He edited the seven-volume History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and independently wrote the six-volume Comprehensive History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Roberts also wrote Studies of the Book of Mormon—published posthumously—which discussed the validity of the Book of Mormon as an ancient record. Roberts was denied a seat as a member of United States Congress because of his practice of polygamy.
