Great narrative constructing the transformation from a regular member into a prophet performing missionary work and miracles.
But the book lacks the weaknesses and mistakes that show the real human being behind. Yes, it tells about surgery fails and pains. But what really inspires completely is to know as well about the weak points in the character and things to improve. I wanted to know the complete Russell.
Other than that, a great book! it really inspired me to seek for miracles and serve even in hard things.

Founder of the largest indigenous Christian church in American history, Joseph Smith published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was 23 and went on to organize a church, found cities, and attract thousands of followers before his violent death at age 38. Richard Bushman, an esteemed cultural historian and a practicing Mormon, moves beyond the popular stereotype of Smith as a colorful fraud to explore his personality, his relationships with others, and how he received revelations.

Objective and inspiring

This open approach to light and darkness on Joseph's life was impressively inspiring. It let me get to know him more deeply real. I personally believe in the book of Mormon and his prophetic calling, but this book helped me to better know the human behind the story and doctrine, and how hard was the life of a boy that just wanted to save his soul.
