Summary "The Latter-Day Prophet: History of Joseph Smith Written for Young People" by George Q. Cannon is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter-day Saint movement, and aims to present his life story in a manner that is accessible and engaging for young readers. It sets out to inspire a love and understanding for Smith's role as a prophet and leader, providing details about his early life, religious experiences, and the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The opening of the book introduces readers to Joseph Smith's early life, beginning with his birth during a snowy winter in 1805 in Vermont. It discusses his family's struggles, relaying how they were influenced by the religious revival that swept through their community, leading young Joseph to grapple with questions of faith and church affiliation. At the age of fourteen, after much contemplation, he sought divine guidance through prayer and received a vision that fundamentally shaped his destiny. This vision revealed to him that all existing churches were incorrect and that he was destined to lead a new religious movement. This early foundation sets the stage for a captivating exploration of his life and mission as the book progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
