Sacred Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith: An In-depth Examination of the 1903 Letter of Benjamin F. Johnson

Whilst many of Joseph Smith's teachings are found in the official history of the Church, the intimate details can only be found in the diaries of those who knew him. Benjamin F. Johnson was one such individual. A member of the secret Council of Fifty, he was privy to many of the 'underground' teachings of the early days of the Church. In this book you will read a letter which Benjamin Johnson wrote to Joseph F. Smith in 1903, through a Church Historian. Br. Johnson shares his knowledge of many vital doctrinal & historical points from the Church. Using the letter as a 'jumping-off' point, the chapters in this book explore in greater detail about each of Joseph's known plural wives, the State of Deseret, the children that the Prophet may have had by wives other than Emma, Sons of Perdition, Calling & Election, & the Sons of God.
