Though he served as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for only eighteen months, Harold B. Lee left a great legacy to the Church through the wisdom and inspiration of his writings and sermons. In this volume are gathered some of the most powerful of these gospel themes. President Lee was called to be a special witness of the Lord in April 1941, when he was sustained as a member of the Council of the Twelve Apostles. But even before that, through a rich pioneer heritage, a loving and spiritual childhood home, and unusual leadership ability and callings in his young manhood, he had proved to be a man of great wisdom, vision, and understanding. During the years of the Great Depression, he had pioneered, as a stake president, a program that was to become one of the most profound concepts ever known for self-help and sustenance-the great Welfare Program of the Church, which today extends to Latter-day Saints everywhere throughout the world. His wisdom, vision, and understanding of a priesthood-directed kingdom of God on the earth were instrumental in the founding and forming of today's great correlation program of the Church. And many, many other programs today are successful because of the guidance and direction he gave them through more than three decades of service as a greatly beloved and respected General Authority. In this book are found some of the outstanding expositions of President Lee on pertinent gospel themes: the importance of knowing and obeying God, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost; the efficacy of prayer, truth, and revelation; the calling of the prophet, seer, and revelator to direct God's kingdom on earth; the Lord's magnificent plan for the government of that kingdom through the priesthood; and the basic principles and ordinances of the Church.

Stand Ye in Holy Places

President Harold B. Lee was born March 29, 1899. He served as president of Pioneer Stake from 1930 to April 6, 1941, when he was ordained an apostle and set apart as a member of the Council of the Twelve. In 1970 he was ordained president of that quorum and set apart as first councilor to President Joseph Fielding Smith. In July of 1972 he became the prophet, seer, revelator, and president of the Church. He passed on to a great reward December 26, 1973. Although he served a shorter time as president of the Church than any of his predecessors, his contributions to it were great. He was no ordinary man. His influence in its councils was effective from the beginning. It continued to increase until the day of his passing.

Of optimism President Gordon B. Hinckley has said: "Looking at the dark side of things always leads to a spirit of pessimism which so often leads to defeat....I have little doubt that many of us are troubled with fears concerning ourselves. We are in a period of stress across the world. There are occasionally hard days for each of us. Do not despair. Do not give up. Look for the sunlight through the clouds. Opportunities will eventually open to you. Do not let the prophets of gloom endanger your possibilities." Indeed there is "sunlight through the clouds." In this volume readers will find a dose of that sunshine to gladden their hearts and improve their spirits. Full of stories on topics such as faith, family, missionary work, feeling the Spirit, and enjoying the lighter side of life.
