Go Forward With Faith The Biography of Gordon B Hinckley
Author: Sheri L. Dew

When press representatives gathered in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on March 13, 1995, they expected to hear a formal announcement of Gordon Bitner Hinckley's ordination as the fifteenth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What they didn't anticipate was that he would invite them to ask questions. &n... more »bsp;It was the first time in more than twenty years that a Church President had fielded spontaneous questions from the media, and the atmosphere was charged with the excitement of the surprise exchange.

No one was surprised, however, when the new prophet got immediately to work, traveling across the country and throughout the world to greet the Saints in congregations large and small. His service for nearly fourteen years as counselor to three Church Presidents had endeared him to the people and made him a familiar figure. Now they were thrilled to sustain him as their prophet.

Go Forward with Faith shares a behind-the-scenes look at a spiritual leader who has spent a great deal of time in the forefront. Readers will soon learn that the tremendous service rendered publicly by President Hinckley is only a small part of his life story--a story filled with work, humor, dedication, and testimony. From his days as "the Slave" at Church headquarters to his numerous trips to Asia in the gospel's infancy there; from his work on the Church Radio, Publicity, and Mission Literature Committee to his international press conferences and his profile with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes; from his intensive involvement with temple construction and dedications to his frequent remodeling and landscaping projects at home, his has been a life of endeavor and accomplishment, of work done willingly and capably and, more often than not, anonymously.

Through it all, a picture emerges of a man raised up by the Lord to lead His people in this day, an articulate man of vision and faith uniquely schooled to represent the growing Church in an era of rapid change and exploding technology. "These are the best times in the history of this work," he declares. "Let us go forward with faith and with the vision of the great and marvelous future that lies ahead as the work grows in strength and gains in momentum." Go Forward with Faith is an inspiring account that will give you a new appreciation for President Gordon B. Hinckley and a greater understanding of the work to which he has dedicated his life.
