The only marvel I have had all my life has been that the Lord ever chose me for anything, especially as an apostle and as President. This statement by President Wilford Woodruff typifies his modest and humble demeanor, the fruit of a life lived close to the Spirit. This book contains a selection by G. Homer Durham of expressions from the addresses of this great man and prophet. For background, its preliminary pages give a chronological listing of the highlights in his life, plus an informative foreword by Elder John A. Widtsoe. In the selections too are interesting glimpses of the man himself by way of his life experiences told in the first person- his conversion to the gospel; his baptizing of six hundred people in one community in England; his experiences with the Church leaders from the early 1830s on; his first meeting and other experiences with Joseph Smith; and so on. Here is firm testimony to the Prophet Joseph Smith's calling, from one who knew him intimately. Elder Woodruff speaks too on a wide range of gospel subjects- agency, salvation, revelation, priesthood, temple work, constitutional liberty, the Second Coming. The prayer he offered in dedicating the Salt Lake Temple is also included. All this and much more is found in this collection of choice extracts from the addresses of the fourth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

From Connecticut, where Wilford Woodruff was born in 1807, to San Francisco, where he was befriended by the cosmopolitan Bohemian Club before dying in 1898, Woodruff’s life was unpredictable. The same man who consulted scientific texts for the cultivation of fruit trees for his personal garden was equally known for his apocalyptic vision on a Navajo mesa in Arizona in 1880. The man who balanced his ledger with penny-accuracy modeled buckskin temple robes to friends on his birthday and accepted from Brigham Young, as a birthday gift, one of Young’s daughters as a wife.
Woodruff became president of the Mormon church while hiding from federal marshals. Convinced that non-Mormons, or “gentiles,” would be smitten by the calamities promised in the Bible, he bided his time in exile until Mormonism prevailed. However, as the Parousia was delayed, he eventually decided to compromise with the United States.
To complement the exhaustive ten-volume Wilford Woodruff diary series and index published by Signature Books as a limited edition, Susan Staker has condensed the highlights of Woodruff’s revealing personal narrative into one readable volume, along with prefatory information, annotation, and appendices.

Wilford Woodruff Sr. (March 1, 1807 - September 2, 1898) was an American religious leader who served as the fourth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1889 until his death. Woodruff's large collection of diaries provides an important record of Latter Day Saint history, and his decision to formally end the practice of plural marriage among the members of the LDS Church in 1890 brought to a close one of the most controversial periods of church history. Woodruff was known as a conservative religious man, but was also enthusiastically involved in the social and economic life of his community. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying fishing and hunting. Woodruff learned to fly fish in England, and his 1847 journal account of his fishing in the East Fork River is the earliest known account of fly fishing west of the Mississippi River. As an adult, Woodruff was a farmer, horticulturist and stockman by trade and wrote extensively for church periodicals. (wikipedia.org)
