Remembering Joseph: Personal Recollections of Those Who Knew the Prophet Joseph Smith (Hard Cover Book) by Mark L. McConkie
Item #1-57008-963-9
"His countenance was ever mild, affable, beaming with intelligence and benevolence; mingled with a look of interest and an unconscious smile, or cheerfulness, and entirely free from all restraint or affection of gravity; and there was something connected with the serene steady penetrating glance of his eye, as if he would penetrate the deepest abyss of the human heart, gaze into eternity, penetrate the heavens, and comprehend all worlds."

So recorded Parley P. Pratt of his impressions of the Prophet Joseph Smith. So, too, did countless other individuals whose lives were touched by Joseph Smith's life and death record their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with the Prophet. Author Mark L. McConkie has compiled hundreds of personal accounts of encounters with Joseph Smith in this unique biography. Remembering Joseph draws on more than 800 sources, many of them previously unpublished original diaries and journals, to paint a picture of the Prophet's character, his temperament, his physical appearance, his spiritual stature, and many of his experiences.

Organized by topic for easy reference, the book is a treasure trove of quotations that reveal Joseph at work and at play, as a father and a son, as a boy and as a prophet of God.
