The Faith-Promoting Series is a sequence of narratives published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The narratives were geared toward the young men and women of the church and customized to include true and exciting stories from the lives of exemplary Latter-day Saints, because of the realization that doctrinal essays and discussions about principles typically dissuade young readers. Some of the most inspiring histories and thrilling biographies of the early church are included in this series. One of Wilford Woodruff's greatest contributions to the LDS Church is his meticulous collection of journals. For more than half a century, President Woodruff kept a daily record of his amazing adventures and spiritual experiences, marking this modern prophet as one of the Church's most successful missionaries. This volume is full of favorite stories we've all heard as well as many little-well known experiences. Several of President Woodruff's daily entries chronicle harrowing events and exciting incidents, including his accounts of: -Being left alone in an alligator swamp-Being entertained by Indians-Journeying sixty miles without food-Having a mob poison his horses-Converting & baptizing a constable who was sent to arrest him.
