Reviews

[Brannigan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great early instruction book on the Priesthood. Who can use it, how to use it. How to be worthy of it. It’s got small chapters broken up by sections and a lot of great quotes from some of the early leaders of the church.

Definitely not my favorite of Elder Widtsoe's books. The first half of the book is interesting. The latter half discusses a lot of the administrative parts of church government.

Classic work that is now outdated on several levels. However, it is still valuable for it’s historical perspective.
