Ordained as an apostle in 1906, David O. McKay served as president
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1951 until
his death in 1970. Under his leadership, the church experienced
unparalleled growth - nearly tripling in total membership - and
becoming a significant presence throughout the world.
The first book to draw upon the David O. McKay Papers at the J.
Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah, in addition to
some two hundred interviews conducted by the authors, David O.
McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism focuses primarily on the
years of McKay's presidency. During some of the most turbulent
times in American and world history, McKay navigated the church
through uncharted waters as it faced the challenges of worldwide
growth in an age of communism, the civil rights movement, and
ecumenism. Gregory Prince and Robert Wright have compiled a
thorough history of the presidency of a much-loved prophet who left
a lasting legacy within the LDS Church.
From devoted son to slave, from prisoner to prime minister of
Egypt, Joseph's life was continually blessed by God. You too can be
empowered by God's special anointing in every circumstance through
applying these "Joseph principles" to your life.
