Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

As a latter-day apostle, Elder Russell M. Nelson is known worldwide for his tireless service in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many people, however, are not familiar with his pioneering work in the field of open-heart surgery, the life-prolonging operation he performed on President Spencer W. Kimball, his role in helping open Eastern Bloc countries to the preaching of the gospel, and his loving efforts to build relations with the people of China. In Russell M. Nelson: Father, Surgeon, Apostle, readers are treated to an intimate portrayal that will help us come to know Elder Nelson as a man of testimony, a dedicated husband and father of ten, and a servant whose principal desire since his youth has been to serve God's children. Full of insight and inspiration, this biography will take its place among other important works that chronicle the lives of the Lord's latter-day servants.

I think Russell M. Nelson and his family are amazing!!! But I had a hard time reading this because of the author. There were a lot of absolutes of "always" and "never" It just didn't feel right and if I was as amazing as he is, I wouldn't someone to write it in this way. It could have felt more real. But I loved learning about his life. :)

My husband has read dozens of General Authority biographies. I've never seen him enjoy one as thoroughly as he did this one. He said his appreciation for an already revered man more than tripled as he learned about the preparation, hard work, and genius behind the scenes.

I loved reading this book. Spencer Condie does a great job of writing. When I started reading, I didn't want to put the book down. Reading this book made me realize even more what a remarkable man Russell M Nelson is. You truly get a great insight into his life and the quality and fabric of this great man.

I enjoyed reading this biography very much. Russell M. Nelson has done so much in his life to help others and be a good Christian. It was a very thought-provoking book. It made me want to be a better person.

This was a great read! I enjoyed reading about how President Nelson was prepared for the leadership roles in the church.

Loved this biography of brother Nelson. Makes him seem human and very approachable.

Excellent book to read and ponder over the many times he was led by the spirit.

Loved it!!! He is such an amazing person. Would recommend it to anyone.
