Open Fire: J. Golden Kimball Takes on the South
- Price
- $19.99
Cowboy J. Golden Kimball would rather rope cattle than preach, but a mission call sends the lanky, sharp-tongued son of Heber C. Kimball into the hostile post–Civil War South. Facing armed mobs, the Ku Klux Klan, malaria, and a fire-breathing anti-Mormon reverend, Golden learns faith the hard way—first as a green missionary under B.H. Roberts, then as mission president. Warm, funny, and rooted in true events like the Cane Creek Massacre, this is a celebration of one of the Church's best-loved characters.
- The true(ish) story behind the legendary "swearing apostle"—the only General Authority famous for cussing from the pulpit.
- A hilarious yet harrowing missionary tale perfect for anyone who has served, will serve, or loves a missionary.
- Faith forged in fire: mobs, the Klan, malaria, and one skinny cowboy who wouldn't quit.
- Features a young George Albert Smith and B.H. Roberts's real-life daring recovery of the Cane Creek martyrs.
Perfect for an LDS reader who loves J. Golden Kimball stories, missionary tales, and Church history told with humor and heart.
