Thanks for looking!About the Book:Dallin H. Oaks may not have seemed the likeliest choice to become an Apostle. His life path had been anything but conventional. He was only seven when his mother became a widow. His young adulthood saw him joining the National Guard and marrying at nineteen. But all along that path, the Lord was preparing him for the call that would eventually come.This engaging biography by noted historian Richard E. Turley, Jr. takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the life of an extraordinary leader. It is filled with stories and photographs detailing his boyhood, his family life, his education and military experiences, and his distinguished academic and law career.Most important, we witness his willingness to set aside that career in favor of a higher responsibility. In 1984, when President Gordon B. Hinckley extended the call to the apostleship, Dallin H. Oaks replied, "My life is in the hands of the Lord, and my career is in the hands of His servants." His lifetime of dedication to the Lord's work gives truth to his words and offers inspiration and faith to all who read his story.Some Book Reviews:Lindsay rated it & it was amazing!I loved learning more about this amazing man. Wonderful book!Amanda Jackson rated it & it was amazing!President Oaks is a giant among men. My family has benefited greatly from his personal ministry to us. My grandfather is the Dr. mentioned from his days in Chicago. I’ll never forget when President Oaks attended the viewing of my Grandma and pulled all of us grandchildren aside and talked to us about death and the resurrection. He told us the story mentioned when he could not make it home before Elder Maxwell passed away. I’ll never forget the comfort he brought to our family that day. President Oaks continued to minister to my grandpa throughout my grandfather’s life including attending his 100th birthday party days before he passed away. I have no doubt that President Oaks has been called of God to minister and guide us in the church in these last days and I loved learning more about this great man.Andy Horton rated it & it was amazing!Such an interesting and enlightening biography of an amazing man. I love seeing how the Lord has not only shaped Elder Oaks into his best self, but the Lord has also shaped him to become extremely useful in God's kingdom on earth. Elder Oaks' talents and experience have been very an important resource over the decades as God's Kingdom and the adversary's kingdom have both grown in comparison with each other. It made me sad to read about the criticism and cruelty he often receives for speaking what the Lord tells him to say. These men truly devote their lives to building God's kingdom on earth. I highly recommend this book. Fantastic!Lindsey rated it & it was amazing!I knew very little about this man before reading this book. I have greater respect for him no after having read it. This was a very uplifting and inspiring book. I have deeper appreciation and admiration for him as one of the first presidency members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.Kaitlyn Hawker rated it & it was amazing!I loved learning more about President Oaks. I’m grateful that he is such a great journal keeper, there are so many great insights and quotes from his personal journal. It was also fun to get somewhat of an inside look of the life of a general authority and member of the first presidency. I understand more about him and that makes me appreciate his conference talks more, his desire to expound doctrine and speak directly.Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc.
