“For practitioners and observers alike, the gospel of the Restoration is rich enough in theological innovation to distract from the simple fact: the prime directive to all disciples is to ‘do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.’ No Saint better exemplified that discipleship in his ‘deceptively simple’ writings and life of teaching and serving than Lowell Bennion, and no figure from the LDS past more deserves to be reintroduced to a new generation of readers. George Handley beautifully celebrates and explicates the life and thought of a largely forgotten hero.”--Terryl L. Givens, author of Stretching the Heavens: Eugene England and the Crisis of Modern Mormonism
