This book explores key themes in the progression of Wilford Woodruff’s early discipleship during his missionary service in the US and Great Britain. Through his vivid and extensive personal account and within the broader context of Church history, this book highlights his dedication to the principles of hard work, obedience, careful recordkeeping, gratitude, and consecration. These themes provide rich material for personal study; lessons in Church, seminary, or institute; supplemental reading to Come, Follow Me; or mission preparation. Readers will find valuable insights from the story of one man’s life journey that can be applied to their own path of discipleship.
