Heber J. Grant had no interest in simply being perceived as the leader others thought he should be, nor did he try to whitewash his failings. Not one to see himself as a paradigm of perfection or an ideal to be imitated in all things, Heber ]. Grant was, if anything, a paradigm of effort—a man who didn't consider himself to be "naturally ... spiritually inclined," but worked hard to become an extraordinary example to the people he led.Heber J. Grant: Exemplar to the Saints, presents the life of this remarkable man who served as President of the Church for 27 years. Using stories that the twentieth-century prophet wrote and told throughout his life, along with quotes and remembrances of those who knew him well, author Matthew Haslam paints an engaging portrait of this energetic and inspiring leader who taught the importance of religion in the "ordinary affairs of life."
