Russell M. Nelson—Father, Surgeon, Apostle

Description

Russell M. Nelson—Father, Surgeon, Apostle, by Spencer Condie (2003)

As a latter-day apostle, Elder Russell M. Nelson is known worldwide for his tireless service in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many people, however, are not familiar with his pioneering work in the field of open-heart surgery, the life-prolonging operation he performed on President Spencer W. Kimball, his role in helping open Eastern Bloc countries to the preaching of the gospel, and his loving efforts to build relations with the people of China.

In Russell M. Nelson: Father, Surgeon, Apostle, readers are treated to an intimate portrayal that will help us come to know Elder Nelson as a man of testimony, a dedicated husband and father of ten, and a servant whose principal desire since his youth has been to serve God’s children.

Full of insight and inspiration, this biography will take its place among other important works that chronicle the lives of the Lord’s latter-day servants.
