Summary
To the Rescue is the much-anticipated official biography of President Thomas S. Monson. Called as a bishop at the age of twenty-two, as a mission president at thirty-one, and as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve at age thirty-six, he has traveled the globe to minister to the Saints for more than fifty years. This book shares many of his personal experience, from his visits behind the Iron Curtain to his contributions on the Scriptures Publication Committee and in the missionary and welfare areas; it also provides up-to-the-minute information about his work as Church President. This biography is a portrait of a leader who ministers both to the one and to the many, and who is completely dedicated to doing whatever the Lord prompts him to do.
Review
A 4 for the writing. The general orgazination alternates between chronological and topical; as a result, some chapters feel disjointed, information is occassionaly repeated, and some of the trasitions are rough.
But definitely a 5 for the content! What an amazing man! Very motivational and well worth the read.
