Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Hugh B. Brown (born 1883) served in the First Presidency of the LDS church from 1961 to 1970—one of the most turbulent decades of the Latter-day Saint history. During these years he proved to be a compassionate and tolerant member of the church’s general authorities. Shortly before his death, his grandson conducted the in-depth, candid interviews that appear in An Abundant Life, a refreshing look at one of Mormonism’s best-loved leaders.

Hugh B. Brown is an example of an apostle who well before his time showed what was going to happen in the future of the LDS Church. Time and time again he was proven right in decades after his death. If one wants an idea of where the Church is headed, this book is a great book to read. He was an inspiring leader in the LDS Church and I for one hope we have more like him in the future.

An Abundant Life is both a pleasent, nostalgic read, and a profoundly insightful book. The life of Hugh B. Brown is one of remarkable faith and dedication, not to mention sacrifice, to the Church to which he belonged. But it was the mind and spirit of the man that drew people to him, and that spirit would be welcome in today's church. The final chapter of the Memoirs, entitled "A Final Testimony" is a most beautiful statement regarding the importance of individual members using the power of their minds in discerning truth for themselves, rather than relying on the words of their leaders. Further, his was a mission of compassion, not personal agrandizement. He measured the merits of both his politics and his religion on how well they treated the poor. If all members of the church thought as he did, there indeed would be room for everyone...

Hugh B. Brown was a member of the First Presidency of the LDS church during the 1960's under President David O. McKay. This was an explosive time for the church and the world but President Prown was a steadying hand. His warmth and depth of thought come across well in this memoir which was assembled after his death by his grandson, Edwin D. Firmage. President Brown said, "One of the most important things in the world is freedom of the mind; from this all other freedoms spring. Such thinking is necessarily dangerous, for one cannot think right without running the risk of thinking wrong, but generally more thinking is the antidote for the evils that spring from wrong thinking." His legacy of tolerance and charity is important, and is brought to vivid life in this book.
