A Lion and a Lamb

Description

By Rand H. Packer (2007)

This book presents the fascinating and inspiring account of the 24-year mission of Willard and Rebecca Bean to Palmyra, New York from 1915-1940. This couple faced considerable prejudice and opposition as they eventually came to be embraced by the Palmyra community, at a time when the Church acquired many properties of historical importance to the Church—including the Hill Cumorah. Willard’s previous experiences as a full-time missionary and as World Middle Weight Boxing Champion helped him to have the faith and courage and resilience to succeed in a very important mission for the Church.
