Clark B. Hinckley

This book is FASCINATING!

As "author Clark B. Hinckley reminds us, the Book of Mormon prophet Nephi suggests that Columbus stands out as "a man among the Gentiles." In fact, Lehi and Nephi describe only two specific individuals in their prophecy of the latter-day restoration of the gospel: Christopher Columbus and Joseph Smith."

So if Joseph Smith's name is had for good and evil, does it surprise you that Christopher Columbus has been brought into question?

This book clearly shows through his own journals that Christopher Columbus felt inspired by the Holy Ghost.

He felt prompted to sail the seas and bring the truth to the new world.

You will read of:

* His struggles in getting the sailing approved

* His preparations

* His first crossing and then his subsequent crossings

* His shipwreck

* His health issues

* And more

I learned more than I ever had through this book.
I was very intrigued by the name Christopher and how it came to be and what it truly means.

We owe a lot to Christopher Columbus.
