THIS IS INCREDIBLY POWERFUL!!! TOWARDS THE END OF READING THIS TO MY FAMILY, WHICH INCLUDES OUR 8 CHILDREN WHO ARE STILL AT HOME; AND THE YOUNGER ONES ARE USUALLY NOISY AND HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY SITTING STILL AND BEING QUIET. THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS SO POWERFUL THAT YOU COULD HAVE HEARD A PIN DROP BECAUSE OF HOW QUIET THE CHILDREN GOT AS THE SPIRIT FILLED THE ROOM. I WAS SO OVERCOME BY THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ARTICLE AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH FILLED MY HEART, THAT I WEPT TEARS OF GRATITUDE AND COULD HARDLY FINISH READING IT TO MY FAMILY. MAY IT SO BLESS YOUR LIFE AS IT SURELY HAS MINE AND MY FAMILY'S! The following are a couple of excerpts from the text: The story of Joseph’s life is the story of a miracle. He was born in poverty. He was reared in adversity. He was driven from place to place, falsely accused, and illegally imprisoned. He was murdered at the age of 38. Yet in the brief space of 20 years preceding his death, he accomplished what none other has accomplished in an entire lifetime. He translated and published the Book of Mormon, a volume which has since been retranslated into scores of languages and which is accepted by millions across the earth as the word of God. The revelations he received and other writings he produced are likewise scripture to these millions. The total in book pages constitutes approximately twice the volume of the entire New Testament of the Bible, and it all came through one man in the space of a few years. We do not worship the Prophet. We worship God our Eternal Father and the risen Lord Jesus Christ. But we acknowledge the Prophet; we proclaim him; we respect him; we reverence him as an instrument in the hands of the Almighty in restoring to the earth the ancient truths of the divine gospel, together with the priesthood through which the authority of God is exercised in the affairs of His Church and for the blessing of His people.
