All presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been and are sustained as prophets, seers, and revelators. But the title “The Prophet” is uniquely reserved for the Prophet Joseph Smith because he was called of God to inaugurate the final gospel dispensation—the dispensation of the fullness of times.

Ancient prophets knew of Joseph Smith’s mission and were shown in vision the great work he would do. They bore witness of the gathering of Israel and of the final scenes preceding the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. Joseph Smith was the one foreordained to set this work in motion and to initiate the events that would culminate in the fulfillment of numerous ancient prophecies.

If a man is measured by how much good he does during his lifetime for the benefit of others, then what are we to think of a man whose works continue to bless people two hundred years after his birth? Joseph Smith—The Prophet of the Restoration is a timely reflection on the life, ministry, and contributions of the Lord’s chosen servant. It will leave you with a renewed appreciation for the blessings restored to the earth through Joseph Smith for the benefit of all mankind.
