In this exciting book, author Larry A. Morris explores a defining principle from the life of each Church President and illustrates how the leader lived that principle.

This personal motto was tested and retested during Elder Benson's welfare mission to postwar Europe and his tenure as the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture.
