From a humble beginning in St. George, Utah, to the presidency of Brigham Young University, the pulpit of the Salt Lake Tabernacle, and the worldwide ministry of an Apostle of Jesus Christ, Jeffrey R. Holland’s journey was anything but easy or predictable. It was marked by setbacks, exhaustion, self-doubt, and private grief, as well as extraordinary service, learning, love, and faith. Through it all, he remained convinced that through Jesus Christ, there truly are “good things to come” (Hebrews 9:11).
Eventually, millions came to know his voice, which combined his quick wit and knack for storytelling with deep empathy and love of the scriptures as he testified of Jesus Christ. This biography invites readers to discover the man behind the familiar voice: the devoted husband and father, passionate student, lifelong teacher, thoughtful leader, defender of the faith, compassionate minister, and witness for Christ who spent his life helping others believe that their struggles did not have to define their future.
The biography also allows readers to experience the broader history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over the past eight decades, especially its ministry to youth and young people, its emphasis on education and the relationship between learning and faith, and its globalization.
Drawing on extensive interviews with President Holland, personal journals and letters, professional records, and the memories of more than fifty people who knew and worked with him, author and Church historian Matthew J. Grow reveals an intimate account of a life shaped by a persistent question: How can we find hope in Jesus Christ and help others to do the same?
President Holland believed that a candid account of his life would offer perspective for difficult roads and courage for weary travelers as it pointed to a renewed confidence in the Savior. This biography is more than the story of a devoted disciple. It is an invitation to see our own lives through the lens of faith in Jesus Christ, the source of all good things.
