Book Description
All presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been and are sustained as prophets, seers, and revelators. But the title "The Prophet" is uniquely reserved for the Prophet Joseph Smith because he was called of God to inaugurate the final gospel dispensation--the dispensation of the fullness of times. Ancient prophets knew of Joseph Smith's mission and were shown in vision the great work he would do. They bore witness of the gathering of Israel and of the final scenes preceding the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. Joseph Smith was the one foreordained to set this work in motion and to initiate the events that would culminate in the fulfillment of numerous ancient prophecies. If a man is measured by how much good he does during his lifetime for the benefit of others, then what are we to think of a man whose works continue to bless people two hundred years after his birth? Joseph Smith--The Prophet of the Restoration is a timely reflection on the life, ministry, and contributions of the Lord's chosen servant. It will leave you with a renewed appreciation for the blessings restored to the earth through Joseph Smith for the benefit of all mankind.

Book Description
Joseph Smith, Prophet and the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, continues to be the subject of adulation by many, but he is the object of derision by some Mormon critics. C. Paul Smith, an experienced trial attorney and strong defender of Joseph Smith, highlights six historical and doctrinal issues pertaining to the prophet that remain the subject of debate: plural marriage; the succession of leadership following his death; the stories of three splinter churches that broke off from the church founded by Joseph Smith; the Book of Abraham; blacks and the priesthood; and six alleged false prophecies made by Joseph Smith. The chapters on plural marriage give a concise history of key events of its introduction as a part of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The chapter on the Book of Abraham scrutinizes and exposes the fatal flaws in the arguments made by some Egyptologists that Joseph Smith’s translation of the Book of Abraham is a fabrication. The chapter on blacks and the priesthood analyzes race relations in the 20th century, and it reviews some lesser known statements by Joseph Smith. The chapter on three LDS splinter churches provides important historical insights about three organizations that broke away from the Church in 1844, 1852-60 and 1863. With debate still swirling around Joseph Smith, it is more important than ever to understand the truth about him in order to appreciate the quality of who he was and the great importance of his work.
