Overview

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the ""Mormons"") sing with ringing conviction the words, ""There's surely somewhere a lowly place in earth's harvest fields so wide, where I may labor through life's short day for Jesus the Crucified."" In this collection of essays and stories about missionary work and miracles in lowly places, father and son coauthors Francis M. Gibbons and Daniel Bay Gibbons have captured the essence of serving in ""the nethermost part of the vineyard."" They draw upon their personal experiences of serving for over a dozen years in missionary and leadership callings in North America, South America, Europe and Asia, as well as from the treasure trove of remarkable missionary experiences in Mormon Church history. Francis M. Gibbons is the best-selling and most prolific Mormon biographer of the past century. He is the author of more than twenty books. He is a former full-time missionary, bishop, stake president, patriarch, secretary to the First Presidency and member of the First Quorum of the Seventy. He has written a biography of each of the sixteen presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and has worked personally with seven of them: Joseph Fielding Smith, Harold B. Lee, Spencer W. Kimball, Ezra Taft Benson, Howard W. Hunter, Gordon B. Hinckley and Thomas S. Monson. Daniel Bay Gibbons is a former trial attorney and judge and is the author of one previous book. He has served as a full-time missionary in Germany, twice as a bishop and as president of the Russia Novosibirsk Mission, the most remote mission on earth which includes central Siberia and all of Kazakhstan.
