George Mitton
“As an introduction to the four essays in this book, I would like to give some background so their origin will be known. I feel the Lord has blessed me with some wonderful experiences in life, and those experiences sometimes carried seeds that germinated and grew into essays that required considerable research. In some cases, I received specific impressions that I should put in writing the inspiration that came from them. I will discuss each essay separately, as they were published as journal articles and a book chapter by the Interpreter Foundation. This summary is based on an interview that was recorded, hence the conversational style.”

About the Interpreter Foundation Book Chapter Reprint Series
The purpose of this reprint series is to make individual chapters from books published by The Interpreter Foundation more accessible to readers. Although in some instances the formatting and pagination may have been changed, the content of this chapter, like others in this reprint series, is identical to what appeared in its original book publication. It has not been updated to incorporate research that has appeared subsequently nor to reflect the current practice of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to use the full name of the Church and to avoid terms such as “Mormon” and “LDS.”
