String of Pearls

The Faith-Promoting Series, Volume 2

By: George Q. Cannon, John Taylor, Matthias F. Cowley

Narrated by: Adam Tervort

String of Pearls, book two of the Faith-Promoting series is a collection of missionary experiences, revelation, and beginnings. The first section of this book is the account of an emigrant who lived among the Ponca Indians, a tribe east of the Mississippi in the Ohio River Valley. W.C.S. describes hardships that greatly increased his faith since he looked on his experience as an Indian missionary. Other accounts include the missionary experiences of Jedediah M. Grant, a future member of the church's first presidency, President John Taylor's journey across the plains and an unusual prophecy that was received, and the commencement of missionary work in Ireland, with experiences of Matthias Cowley, David W. Patten, and several other early saints. The book ends with the poem "Joseph Smith's First Prayer", the poem upon which the LDS hymn is based. The Faith-Promoting series includes 17 books, which were largely written by Deseret Book founder George Q. Cannon but also include books by Wilford Woodruff and other early LDS leaders.

Faith everyone needs it

I only struggled with the experiences because I have feel that I do not exercise enough faith to have these experiences.

horrible, horrible narrator

This guy's voice is so bad your eyes will literally water while you try to listen to these stories, I have read this book and it is excellent, but this is impossible to listen to this guy read it. His credit score should be lowered, it's so bad, his voice sucks beyond belief, it will literally make you angry listening to him talk.
